Trying to understand the news

I don't think there was any time in my life where the news made less sense to me than now worldwide.

For example, Trump has a different view than any member of his cabinet on literally anything. So, it is sort of like a wagon being pulled in 10 directions by 10 different horses which is completely dysfunctional for our nation.

Under these dynamics who succeeds?

Likely large corporations and stock holders succeed while our government is in complete disarray and confusion.

However, the military seems ot be secretly doing all sorts of things worldwide. But, is that an illusion too because the facts we hear do not match up at all either.

So, what is actually happening?

Since we aren't really told about ANYTHING actually important or real. Who knows?
