Why is Trump supporting Vivek?
"Game theory" acts as an analytical tool to decode the complexities of political maneuverings, offering an objective perspective to decision-making processes.
It could be compared to a chess game where players must strategize, balance their moves based on opponents' possible responses, and adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
The 2024 Presidential Primary puts Trump and Vivek on the same strategic chessboard.
The most intriguing move so far has been Trump's support of Vivek, his leading competition. Trump's positive comments about Vivek continues to raise eyebrows unless examined through a game theory lens.
Trump is currently battling several legal indictments, with a distinct possibility that more charges could be added that potentially invoke the 14th Amendment.
Invoking the 14th Amendment would prevent Trump from running for President if convicted for insurrection.
Therefore, despite Trump being the preferred candidate in almost every poll, Trump's support of Vivek should be viewed as an intelligent risk-mitigation strategy. Vivek offers Trump a lifeline, promising a pardon should he be convicted, thus providing insurance against Jack Smith's unconstitutional crusade.
Vivek, though gaining popularity, still lags behind Trump. However, his pledge to pardon Trump could eventually draw in Trump's endorsement if legal battles overwhelm Trump.
An unexpected alliance between Trump and Vivek may appear paradoxical at first glance, but it reveals a well-thought-out chesslike strategy upon closer inspection.
Both Trump's support of Vivek and Vivek's support of Trump demonstrate the two politician's leveraged game theory strategies for navigating the complex political primary.
As a fervent Trump supporter since 2015, I have stood firm in the face of political turbulence and persecution, aligning my support with Trump's vision and principles. Simultaneously, I have begun to openly support both Trump and his trump card - Vivek.
As staunch supporters of Trump, we should perceive this not as divided loyalty but as a tactical measure.
From a game theory perspective, Trump's support of Vivek is a skillfully calculated chess move, guaranteeing control of the game even amidst indictments, political persecution, and looming convictions.
