So, I'm on a another platform with some very smart people that apparently got Jack's goat over the years, and late last night, I got a crazy idea.
The idiot shitlibs have been, with varying degrees of effectiveness, using a basic rulebook since the early 1970s.
Until @realDonaldTrump came into politics, every time a Republican was confronted by one of these rules, they rolled over and showed their soft bellies as they waved the white flag.
Here in the next tweets, I'm going to go over the "rules" and how Trump has broken, subverted, or appropriated their rules to beat them at their own game.
Trump's answer: This is straight out of the "Art of War": Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.
Interesting dichotomy, isn't it?
By refusing to acknowledge Trump's power, the Democrats think that they are winning when really, they set themselves up for pain.
Trump takes this rule and lives it.
If you wonder why there is so much turnover in his administration, it's because he hires people for specific missions.
If you finish the job or can't, then you leave.
Do you notice how he talks about some of them?
“If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant”
That last point falls right into this one.
Trump is a businessman FIRST and foremost.
Most politicians, especially those on the left, couldn't run a Dairy Queen during the lunch rush.
So, for this rule, the Democrats actually ignores their own rule, and Trump embraces it.
Trump's answer?
Make EVERYONE live up to the rule of law.
No separate books, no double standards.
Every time the left has tried to make him "guilty" in the GOP's book, his response?
"You wrote the laws this way."
We covered this earlier, because this goes perfectly with "The Art of War":
This is where Alinsky proves that a blind squirrel can find a nut every once in a while, and Trump uses this to his advantage with mean tweets.
Trump rallies with chants of "Lock Her Up!"
Enough said, and another rule that Trump has appropriated from the enemy.
Trump knows this as well as anyone, hence why, under normal circumstances, his administration often has multiple irons in the fire at any given time.
Even with many balls in the air, Trump will still focus in on a problem, issue, or person.
He doesn't forget or forgive, he gets even.
This rule only works with an enemy who is showing their hand and trying to look powerful.
Trump always understates the threat.
By feigning weakness, he leads the enemy straight to the trap.
Again, Trump works best when his enemies lead themselves into a honey trap.
So many times during this administration...
Oops...
This is why the left tries to pin what BLM and Antifa do on the Proud Boys and Trump supporters.
This is why the left screams that Trump doesn't have a plan whenever he says he is about to do something.
They want THEIR plan to be implemented.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
