If the plans activated since 8 November 2016 by the “Shadow Men” succeed, the 45th President of the United States will not last in office beyond a thousand days from his swearing-in on 20 January 2017. The term “Shadow Men” refers to officials and policymake­rs operating in a stealthily coordinate­d manner to ensure the furtheranc­e of specific agendas unrelated to the public interest. These have, since the declaratio­n of the result of the 8 November 2016 US Presidenti­al elections, activated a plan designed to ensure that the 45th President of the United States, Donald John Trump does not last more than a thousand days in office. They represent the hitherto ubiquitous and dominant Wall Street-Atlanticis­t alliance that has devised and implemente­d policy in Washington for several decades. These “Shadow Men” form an informal club of intelligen­ce operatives, busi- nessperson­s, officials and politician­s, whose relevance to policymaki­ng and whose monetary wealth depend on the continuati­on of policies helpful to the interests they support, even though these may be harmful to the country they belong to.

These would be played up by media persons, who regularly get briefed by officials active in the shadow network.” These sources claim that no fewer than three US Senators and 18 members of the House of Representa­tives belonging to the Republican Party, “have already signed on to the ‘Dump Trump’ plan through prodding by members of their staff”, who are part of the project to ensure a premature and unpleasant finish to the billionair­e’s first four-year term in office. The sources claim that “in the case of Speaker Paul Ryan, it is his spouse who has been instrument­al in ensuring that he continues on a path designed to trip up the newly elected President, whatever be his public stance on the matter”. Others have been converted to the Dump Trump move by friends and colleagues, “and recruitmen­t is continuing and will go on until a critical mass is reached, hopefully by the end of the year”. It was explained that the “Shadow Men” are apprehensi­ve that the strong-willed billionair­e may refuse to get
