Agreed. And there is also Sun Tzu's advice: "If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt."
The thing is, I think Trump knows himself and the enemy. I don't think the enemy knows him, or us, very well at all. They find it unfathomable that there is anyone who won't bow down to them, that there is anyone they can't bully or con into submission. That is one of their weaknesses, that and their overconfidence. Heh. Makes me think of Return of the Jedi when Luke told Palpatine his overconfidence was his weakness and Palpatine responded that Luke's faith in his friends is his--only it wasn't.
All warfare is based on deception.

The enemy has no concept of the life of an average every day person, they're detached physically, socially, spiritually and conceptually.
This is the greatest weakness of evil, they're so blind and arrogant that they under estimate our retaliation at every turn.
