Donald Trump’s political brand thrives on anti-establishment bravado, promising to dismantle corrupt global systems and champion sovereignty. Yet, his actions, both in his first term and early in his second, reveal a consistent pattern of hypocrisy, where populist rhetoric masks complicity with the very elites he claims to oppose.
From abandoning Julian Assange to enabling global COVID-19 measures and cozying up to war criminals, Trump’s contradictions are glaring. His dealings with Kenya, in particular, expose a cynical exploitation of a nation already battered by foreign interference and domestic corruption, with figures like the mercenary Senator Chris Coons facilitating shadowy deals.
This article dissects Trump’s duplicity, focusing on how his engagement with Kenya’s corrupt elite, particularly Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto, has deepened the nation’s woes, while highlighting the broader implications for global trust in his leadership.
Trump’s Hollow Promises: Rhetoric vs. Reality
Trump’s campaigns thrive on promises to “drain the swamp” and reject globalist agendas, yet his record reveals a leader who bends to power and expediency, betraying allies and principles at every turn.
Betraying Assange and WikiLeaks
In 2016, Trump exploited WikiLeaks’ leaks against Hillary Clinton, declaring, “I love WikiLeaks!” to rally supporters who saw Julian Assange as a truth-teller exposing elite corruption. Yet, once in office, Trump’s administration turned on Assange, pursuing his extradition under the Espionage Act with ruthless determination.

Far from granting the expected pardon, Trump left Assange to languish, revealing his transparency rhetoric as a sham used to leverage leaks for political gain. This betrayal set the stage for his pattern of discarding those who serve his cause.
Complicity in the COVID-19 Fiasco
Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic exposed his duplicity further. While posturing as a skeptic of bureaucratic overreach, questioning lockdowns and vaccine mandates, he enabled the global response that enriched elites. Operation Warp Speed tied him to Big Pharma, and his deference to the disgraced Dr. Anthony Fauci, whose policies devastated economies, contradicted his image as a defender of individual liberty.

By legitimizing Fauci’s agenda, Trump betrayed his base, aligning with the very establishment he claimed to fight.
Gaza and Ukraine: From Rebel to Sellout
Before the 2024 election, Trump’s rhetoric on Gaza was defiant, with videos slamming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and decrying state capture by pro-Israel elites. This resonated with critics of U.S. complicity in Middle Eastern conflicts. Yet, upon taking office, Trump welcomed Netanyahu, a war criminal whose actions in Gaza have drawn global condemnation, pledging U.S. support for Israel’s “decrepit actions.” This reversal exposed his anti-establishment stance as a campaign ploy.

Similarly, Trump’s anti-NATO rhetoric once suggested a rejection of endless wars, appealing to those tired of U.S. interventionism. Yet, his recent meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Vatican signals a retreat from this position.
By softening his criticism and engaging Zelensky, Trump has dimmed hopes for peace, bowing to the war machine he once vowed to dismantle.

Kenya: A Pawn in Trump’s Cynical Game
Trump’s engagement with Kenya is a stark example of his duplicity, exploiting a nation already reeling from foreign manipulation and domestic corruption. Far from promoting sovereignty, Trump’s administration has deepened Kenya’s subjugation through shadowy deals with corrupt leaders, prioritizing U.S. interests over the Kenyan people.
Cozying Up to Uhuru Kenyatta’s Criminal Enterprise
During his first term, Trump hosted then-President Uhuru Kenyatta at the White House for a meeting orchestrated by lobbyists despite proven reports of the Kenyatta family’s vast money-laundering networks. These revelations detailed offshore accounts and shell companies used to hide wealth, implicating the Kenyattas in a sprawling criminal enterprise through the American financial systems.
Far from distancing himself, Trump embraced Kenyatta wholeheartedly betraying the Kenyan people.
This complicity in shielding Kenyatta’s corruption starkly contradicts Trump’s anti-corruption rhetoric, revealing his willingness to prop up corrupt elites for geopolitical gain.
FRAUD: Donald Trump rolled out the red carpet for the disgraced former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, linked to the theft of $100 Billion through phantom loans
The trade deals struck during this period, including the U.S.-Kenya Trade and Investment Working Group, opened Kenya’s $470 million wheat market to U.S. growers and expanded cooperation under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). These agreements were designed to flood Kenya with American goods, undermining local industries and farmers.
Far from mutual benefit or public good, they served U.S. economic interests, exacerbating Kenya’s dependency and economic woes.
Second Term: Shadowy Deals with Ruto’s Regime
In his second term, Trump’s exploitation of Kenya has intensified under President William Ruto, a leader already tainted by his alignment with Western interests under Joe Biden. The unannounced 2024 White House visit by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Security Advisor Monica Juma, exposed only through the predatory machinations of Senator Chris Coons, revealed a disturbing lack of transparency.
Coons, a cannibalistic opportunist with no regard for Kenya’s welfare, has facilitated deals that serve U.S. interests while enriching himself and his allies.
The sighting of Uhuru Kenyatta’s brother, Muhoho, in Coons’ office suggests that Kenya’s corrupt elite, across political factions, are complicit in these exploitative arrangements, further betraying the Kenyan people.
WHEELER-DEALER: Donald Trump dispatched his advisor Massad Boulos to strike mercenary deals with William Ruto, who himself was a puppet of his predecessor Joe Biden
Trump’s administration has courted Ruto through lobbyists and mercenary businessmen, a stark betrayal of his rhetoric about empowering nations to stand independently.
This manipulation is particularly galling for Kenyans who, frustrated by Biden’s imposition of Ruto in 2022, hoped Trump would reject such interference. Instead, he has deepened U.S. influence, using Ruto’s regime to secure strategic interests like military cooperation and resource access in East Africa.
Foreign Aid Freeze: A Deceptive Maneuver
Trump’s recent 90-day freeze on U.S. foreign aid, touted as a move to align with “American interests,” is a cynical ploy to mask continued control over nations like Kenya. While he claims to promote self-reliance, the freeze is a pretext to redirect influence through trade and backroom deals.
Uhuru Kenyatta’s response, calling it a “wake-up call” for African leaders, is a hollow deflection from his own complicity in Kenya’s dependency, facilitated by Trump’s administration. The simultaneous engagement with Ruto’s government during the freeze reveals Trump’s true aim: maintaining U.S. dominance while posturing as a champion of sovereignty.
Ruto’s Complicity and Kenya’s Betrayal
Ruto’s regime, already battered by 2024 protests over economic hardship and corruption, has leaned into Trump’s overtures, further eroding public trust.
The secrecy of Mudavadi and Juma’s U.S. visit, revealed only through Coons’ self-serving leaks, underscores the opacity of these dealings. Coons, a mercenary broker with no loyalty to Kenya, exploits the nation’s vulnerabilities for American gain.
Muhoho Kenyatta’s visit to Chris Coons office earlier this year is testament that corruption networks and geopolitical deals stacked against Kenya’s favor are still alive.
Muhoho Kenyatta’s presence in Coons’ office suggests the Kenyatta family’s ongoing role in these exploitative deals, perpetuating a cycle of elite corruption at Kenya’s expense.
The Musk Factor: A Fragile Counterpoint
Trump’s relationship with Elon Musk, once seen as a potential ally for free speech, has deteriorated, raising concerns for Kenyans who value X as a platform for unfiltered dissent. Trump’s recent attacks on Musk, calling him “CRAZY” and threatening SpaceX contracts, reveal his authoritarian streak, contradicting his free-speech rhetoric.
THE GREAT FALL-OUT: The expected rift between Donald Trump and Elon Musk shows that Trump’s foolery and duplicity cannot sway everyone
While Musk’s rise to global prominence suggests resistance to such pressure, his own compromises, like significant donations to Trump’s 2024 campaign, raise doubts about his independence.
For Kenyans, this dynamic underscores the vulnerability of platforms like X to the whims of power, threatening a vital space for public discourse.
Kenya’s Plight: Trapped by Corruption and Superpower Games
Kenya’s political landscape, scarred by the Uhuru-Ruto rivalry, is a fertile ground for Trump’s machinations. Muhoho Kenyatta’s misguided political machinations and his presence in
Coons’ office signal the Kenyatta family’s continued influence, brokering deals to preserve power in a post-Uhuru era.
OVERRATED CONMAN: Cannibalistic and mercenary US Senator Chris Coons has visited Kenya more times than his own constituency
Ruto’s reliance on foreign backing, from Biden to Trump, has deepened Kenya’s entanglement in superpower schemes. The lack of transparency in Mudavadi and Juma’s U.S. visit, exposed only through Coons’ opportunistic leaks, highlights how Kenya’s sovereignty is undermined by both its own corrupt leaders and foreign actors like Trump, who exploit internal divisions for geopolitical gain.
Conclusion: A Legacy of Exploitation
Trump’s contradictions, between his anti-establishment rhetoric and his embrace of corrupt elites like Benjamin Netanyahu, Uhuru Kenyatta and now William Ruto, have left a trail of broken promises and eroded trust. His betrayal of Assange, complicity in COVID-19 policies, and reversals on Gaza and Ukraine reveal a leader driven by opportunism, not principle.
In Kenya, his administration’s collusion with Uhuru Kenyatta’s criminal enterprise and secretive deals with Ruto’s regime, facilitated by the predatory Chris Coons, have deepened the nation’s exploitation.
These actions, far from promoting sovereignty, perpetuate Kenya’s subjugation to U.S. interests, leaving Kenyans to grapple with the consequences of a superpower’s deceit and their own leaders’ complicity.
Trump’s legacy is one of betrayal, and Kenya remains a casualty of his duplicitous game.
