She calls this latest chapter in the Trump Administration \u201cThe Empire Strikes Back.\u201d\u00a0 Fitts explains, \u201cNumber one, Trump came into Washington with an agenda that <strong>would really<\/strong> make America great again:\u00a0 tax reform, regulatory relief, infrastructure and Obama Care.\u00a0 Immediately, he got bogged down in those for a variety of reasons.\u00a0 If you look at Congress\u2019s constituents, they can\u2019t make money solving those things, particularly if it helps regular people.\u00a0 <span id=\"more-18529\"><\/span>So, immediately you bog down on those issues.\u00a0 He\u2019s trying to get his cabinet in place.\u00a0 In the meantime, you have the Empire worried about a variety of things.\u00a0 If you want to slow Donald Trump down or make sure the only thing he can get through Congress are things that are good for what I call the \u201cpiggies,\u201d . . . the first thing you do is take out their loyal lieutenants.\u00a0 You take them out and try to put space between him and his lieutenants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fitts, who was an Assistant Secretary of Housing in the first Bush (41) Administration, goes on to say, \u201cThe U.S. bureaucracy is huge and very complex, and it\u2019s a matrix structure. The thing you want to do is bollocks him up in the structure.\u00a0 The reason you want to bollocks with a bureaucracy or the courts is then you bring everything into the mud and complicate their lives and make things harder to do. . . . What you are seeing is a war between the \u2018piggies\u2019 and \u2018Titanic Turners.\u2019\u00a0 The big question is can Trump learn how to play the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How does Trump win? Fitts contends, \u201cTrump wins by staying focused on the real issues.\u00a0 The U.S. economy needs a variety of things, including turning the federal budget around. . . . . The reality is the federal budget has a negative return to taxpayers.\u00a0 It\u2019s got to be turned positive. . . .\u00a0 That comes down to tax reform, infrastructure and it comes down to Obama Care. . . . Trump is the Titanic Turner, and he needs to stick to the big issues. . . . He has to make sure the shriek-o- meter does not destroy his top lieutenants and put space between him and them.\u00a0 Otherwise, the pigs are going to step in and run things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In closing, Fitts says, \u201cWhat\u2019s killing this economy is corruption and lawlessness. That\u2019s what\u2019s killing the economy.\u00a0 We need to deal with these problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with Catherine Austin Fitts, founder of \u201cThe Solari Report\u201d on <a href=\"http:\/\/solari.com\/blog\/\">Solari.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i4lPBznVCJU?rel=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>After the Interview:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fitts adds that Trump is up against evil forces who want an inhuman society.
