This is brilliant. I believe there is a lot of military planning and agree with people who think Trump is to some extent a needed figurehead. But so much of this is him IMO. Seems to me he has watched and understood people and what makes them do what they do for his entire life. When he thinks someone is a bad person he sets them up using their own devices, so to speak. He can be ruthless but I think it's only when he really thinks the person has it coming. Does anyone here remember how mad at Trump people were when he "screwed over" Merv Grifffin? I always remembered that and before more recent events I thought "Wow, he can be a real dick." In retrospect and looking at the way he goes about things I wonder if Merv's public perrsona was a big lie. Maybe that's just me wanted to believe Trump wouldn't do that to someone who didn't have it coming. EDIT: I also think he went after Megyn Kelly the way he did because she softball interviewed Jimmy Comet Ping Pong and fed the big lie about him being just a poor Pizza guy.
