Dear Colleague,
This wonderful Internet radio program,
Howard Bloom Saves the Universe, was hosted by Chad Dougatz at Hangar Studios and recorded nearly ten years ago.
It's astonishing how prescient it was. Howard, Chad and Richard discussed Trump's idea of deporting millions of "illegal" human beings, which at the time seemed fantastic; an impossible dream.
Yet, astonishingly, as President in 2026, Donald Trump has begun to actualize this dream.
There are many commonalities between Trump’s ideas and those of political leaders Richard has studied his entire life.
The most significant similarity is thinking is the idea of a nation in a state of decline—one that has lost its greatness—and the belief that the cause of national decline is the presence of certain classes of people within the body politic, in Hitler's case Jews, in Trump's case Mexicans, illegal immigrants, Muslims, etc.
Donald Trump's idea of deporting millions of human beings—removing them from within the body politic in order to restore the nation’s greatness--was there right at the beginning,
But no one could have imagined at the time that this "impossible dream"--this fantasy--could be put forth as policy and executed.
