My guess is that it is not an imbecile like trump or any of his churning snakes that surround him.

The "top" is something outside of the normal political view. Probably much more aligned with worldwide wealth. Wealth that can only be controlled through force/terror/blackmail. The same type of force that is prevalent in the brotherhoods, the clubs of oligarchs, the super-yacht sets. The same groups that have always lived outside of the rules for the proles, the ones who pay no taxes and have no national allegiances. The same ones who would turn on their birthplace or their adopted country in a heartbeat. And not care about the collateral damage.
