If you think of Trump and the leadership as a the spokesperson for the Epstein class, then the argument from the post makes sense.
The irrational aspect can only been seen superficial in Trump but it is actually the entire class behind him.
Although I definetly think that in general class interests rule societies, I do think that specific mainfestations of class rule can be more or less rational with respect to their interests. I'd say that I definetly think the current administration and for example Tsar Nicholas's regime were examples of less rational manifestations. That doesn't change the fact that the entire bourgeoisie class is the problem, of course. But I do think we should be careful with assuming that just because the Trump-administration does something, then it is in the rational self-interest of the Bourgeoisie, it could just as well be a very poor attempt at that. But of course proletarian class rule is the solution anyhow.
