The Saturday Wrap-Up – Trump is Erasing 50 Years of Foreign Policy (They Can’t Stop It) – September 26, 2026

Saturday Wrap-Up Media howled over an autopen joke and the Xi summit—while Trump dismantles Kissinger’s 50-year framework, Xi says the Thucydides Trap can be overcome, and Rubio permanently holds both State Dept. and National Security Advisor. Susan Kokinda Sep 26, 2026 Watch on YoutubeThis episode argues that media outrage over a White House “autopen” joke and criticism of Trump’s summit with Xi Jinping obscures a deeper shift: Trump is dismantling a 50-year geopolitical framework associated with Henry Kissinger. It contrasts Chatham House’s “China Rising, America in Decline?” panel and its Thucydides Trap framing—linked to Graham Allison—with Xi’s evolution from posing the trap as an open question to asserting it “can be overcome” after Trump’s UN speech and claimed actions in Iran, Venezuela, the Shield of America, and the Greenland Treaty, alongside a push for reindustrialization. The script also highlights a UN Board of Peace session on Gaza focused on reconstruction led by Gazans and a new security structure involving Muslim-country troops, presenting it as ending “outside forces” control. It notes Rubio’s permanent dual role as Secretary of State and National Security Advisor and frames his stance as reversing Kissinger’s legacy.00:00 The Saturday Wrap-Up – Trump is Erasing 50 Years of Foreign Policy (They Can’t Stop It) – September 26, 202601:03 China: Xi Rejects the Trap05:54 The Middle East Pillar, Busting the Imperial Plan09:58 Rubio Undoes the ArchitectThe Real Revolution: The British and the Communists Are Trying to Kill AgainBarbara Boyd’s new 47-page briefing is free for paid Promethean Action members.
