Sure ^ but the question I asked, is: for how long has Trump been manipulated?

To an extent, for a long time, I'd guess: someone so narcissistic and greedy will have been open to flattery and the lure of money for others to get him to do things beneficial to them.

Sorry - I misunderstood. I'd say pretty much his whole life. He's not clever, just rich. He always surrounded himself with sycophants and his ego has always liked being stroked. That sort of person is easy to manipulate.

Is that the same God that has (allegedly) been giving away lands and setting borders in the Middle East to those of specified lineage?

The US christian god only cares about the US. God bless the USA. etc, etc. Everyone knows Jesus was American.

The war is going really badly. And Trump
Is struggling to exit.
Iran are now proposing that no passage would be allowed “without the permission” of Iran involving collecting transit tolls through the strait.
Iran will also withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and said that it has lost its “relevance” following attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities by Israel and the US.

Given that we never hear directly from God(s), do we trust his/her/their various, often contradictory interlocutors?

[apols for pedantry]
There's no way Trump has made millions and got to his position based simply on other people's advice.
To get back to the specifics of this administration, at what point was/is he no longer making the decisions? It's a rhetorical question.
I know the far right/technocrats saw an opportunity in Trump and Trump saw an opportunity to keep his @ss out of prison so he assembled the backers and the sycophants in true Mafia style. Trump did this. No one was telling Trump what to do.
So the question remains. The Trump we saw in 2023/24 is a far cry from the rambling incoherent shitbox wee see now.
In a slight leap forward, the Miller's and the JFK jnrs and the Noem's and the Holman's and Levitt's and the Bondi's and the Vance's have so little street cred and likeability, I think they are still riding Trump's coat tales but for how long because Trump is loosing popularity by the shed load?

Correct. It was his dad that made the money. Trump just spent it on bad business deals.
Fred Trump spent 50 years creating over 295 streams of revenue which ended up going to to Donald. Donnie then learned to lie about stuff to drive up property values. He was never anywhere near as wealthy as he claimed to be. He has over $1bn in debts - essentially he owes so much money that it can't be called in.
It's all bullshit.

Am I alone in wondering why, if you can run oil and gas pipelines from Russia across Europe and Asia, and from the north of Alaska though Canada and into the continental US, it ought to have been possible to bypass the Straight of Hormuz and Red Sea by now?
