This I have said and written many times since late 2016. Those who have not studied Sun Tzu’s The Art of War can never fully understand Trump and his way. Richard Feynman said, “What I cannot create, I do not understand.” Trump’s understanding of (military) strategy is on the level of its original creator. That is the reason that Trump has consistently outwitted the Chinese elite in the art of (political and trade) war. All of them studied and are adept at and The Thirty-Six Stratagem but Trump has been consistently more creative and innovative in the application of the art.
“Warfare is one thing. It is a Philosophy/Tao of Deception.” Trump characterizes himself as “wartime president”, and he applies the “Philosophy/Tao of Deception” extremely skillfully and effectively. This means that nothing is what it appears to be. He reveals neither his strategy beforehand nor his strategic execution while a strategy is executed. The only people who really know are those who are actually involved in the execution of his strategy. Even then, they only know the part in which they are directly involved.
Virtually everyone looks at the surface appearances and criticizes him for this or that, not knowing or forgetting that Trump is strategically far smarter than they and that he has the intelligence/information which they do not and cannot have due to its classified nature. I am a member of an informal group of Conservative/Libertarian intellectuals (where I have met some of the most brilliant and knowledgeable people). In the last four years, sometimes we question or disagree with what Trump seems to be doing. Thus far, every time we disagreed with Trump, he turned out to be correct at the end!
Trump’s war is against the globalist elite cabal that has run the world for a long time. He has made no secret about his intention. What remains secret is his strategy. At his inaugural…cont.
“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”
.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
.
“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
.
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
.
“Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.”
.
“Treat your men as you would your own beloved sons. And they will follow you into the deepest valley.” (WWG1WGA!)
Faith in God, and a belief that the President is doing His will. That is what will carry us forward, as one, a mighty beacon of light and truth.
I am not American, but I know greatness when I see it. I am honored to have been granted the grace to witness what is about to occur first hand. God bless you, Children of Light.
