  1. "potentially spying on the mexican government" Don't know if France 24 is being sarcastic or just ignorant, but the U.S government is already spying on the mexican government and almost all government around the world including its allies. How fast they forget the incident with Angela Merkel and other EU officials being wiretapped by the U.S

  2. The strength of his political mandate and his plan to remove the career protection of civil servants means Trump will have a stronger hold on the federal government than any other president.

  3. How did this happen? Years of wealthy power-hungry enablers, incl media moguls' propaganda
    What can we, in the U.S., do(?):
    CAN'T impeach Trump because Republican votes are needed in congress;
    Can't arrest Trump for criminal "official acts", thanks to McConnel rigging our Supreme Court.
    Folks ARE trying to hold Trump accountable, but he's been getting help successfully undermining every mechanism tried for so many years now that very few options are left. 💔
    Concerns currently incl:
    1) Will courts shift into "hyperdrive" to keep up with the rapid- fire "cluster bombs" attacking our rule of law?
    2) What do we do if Trump (& staff members) ignore even court orders? Who will physically stop him, & who will try to obstruct them? 😶
    3) How would Trump (or others) even know if Elon's "freelancing" too, such as tampering with our computer systems in ways beyond Trump- approved targeted firings? 😶
    Accepting ~ "Trust me bro" is not oversight!
    4) International law is also being trampled, which challenges other countries' willingness and combined abilities to enforce them.
    ~🔥 🔥 🔥~
    So, … "We the people" MUST grow, spread, & persist in protests (peacefully). 🇺🇲

  4. Think about it, the majority of the CIA employees have nothing to do with spy-stuff, they have clerks, mid-level managers like any organization. I'm sure you can cut the fat at the CIA and if you think about it, any company, organization, union and local, state government. How many "old-timers" in very well established and old organizations are still scared to get on the computer or learn the new software?

  5. This is rapidly becoming stupid. Putin only hires yes men around him. Looks like same with Trump. Trump claimed he knew nothing about Project 2025 when this is a key tenet of the manifesto.

  6. Between gutting FBI and CIA, I’m feeling sooo much safer after DJT. I’m sure any possible terries or state actors will wait until new officers are trained and ready. I’m also sure no investigations or cases will be dropped as thousands leave those agencies…. Yeah, might not be a good time to fly or gather in large groups in the US…on the way from the US or in its vicinity.

  7. Oh my God, Trump and Elon running America 🇺🇸 into the ground. The whole world is watching the world's most ridiculous circus show with 2 clowns running it. America, what happened to you. From superpower to laughing stock! 😂

  8. America will turn into the next Russia. Trump and his Friends try to bring in Charge their loyal People in the Administration, CIA, Military, Police and so on and not only in the leading Positions but also as normal Workers or, in this Case Fighters. When this is done, they will start supressing all Americans even using force and Gulags.

  9. The united stupid of america have shown the world how easy it is to let his country destroy by only two man. A man protect himself of consequences is destroying his homeland and try to turn independent agencies into a private one. Did the same not happen in germany 1933. RIP America

  10. He did Say : CIA agent all around the world . they are very well spreaded all around in espionage. no wonder why these guys are bankrupt

  11. 👋 hey I am the deepest cover agent ever, so deep there is no records or anything, you just gotta trust me. Where do I get the cheque? 👋👋👋👋
