I will admit: there were many times throughout his presidency that I felt frustration at the lack of "counterpunching" I knew and saw he was capable of hitting.
However, he appeared "weak" so that the enemies of America would get emboldened.
There's a scene at the end of the Odyssey, where Odysseus conceals his true identity while infiltrating this new gang of "suitors" in his home. As a child I hated the idea of him hiding, why didn't he just fight them immediately? As an adult I realize the amount of willpower, discipline, and focus it takes in biting your tongue, appearing weak, and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
This is Trump/Q. You endure the insults, the losses, the attacks, and sadly, the deaths, to ensure a wider victory. Years of pain to be freed from a millennium of slavery.
