Not a forecast (claim audit 2026-09-26, operator-approved): in the 2026-04-02 lecture Jiang described something already true or under way. The quote uses present-tense framing ('right now the elite are... Trump has two sets of friends') describing an existing alignment rather than forecasting a future displacement.
