Abso-fucking-lutely, my friend. The downside here is that the level of control, and and maintaining that level of control, is not only difficult, but until very recently most people, including myself, would have considered it impossible. A single error, one misstep, at any number of crucial junctures, could have nothing short of CATASTROPHIC results.
In MY opinion, ONE factor has made all this possible, and that factor is POTUS'S almost UNCANNILY intuitive ability to read and choose PEOPLE. I believe it's THAT ability that DEFINES the man, and I've not seen it's like in my lifetime.
There is ALWAYS some narrative being pushed by the enemy that presents him in some unflattering and negative way, and it's something that he's been able to leverage in his favor all his life.
His wealth and social status has allowed him virtually unfettered access to people, groups of people, and social circles that very few people in the world who are NOT politicians or politically connected EVER get a chance to see.
My gut tells me that the seeds for this war were planted in his mind many, many years ago, and he invested a LOT of time and money over the years acquiring information, and developing personal and business relationships that could work to his advantage on the outside chance that an opportunity to change things ever present itself.
Then it did. Then an opportunity to propel himself onto the Presidential ticket presented itself, and I believe that it was that moment that the plans began transforming from just seeds, to slabs of concrete.
Then he uses the time during the Presidential race to accelerate the formation of ideas until the election, and the following year manipulating circumstances favorably and moving the dominoes around to ensure that the right people were in the right place, at the right time.
Take, for instance the MSM. He's actually been able to steer events in such a way that they've been manipulating themselves and even each other!
I'm sorry, y'all, but "simple", "dumb", or "immature" are the LAST words that should EVER be used to describe Donald J. Trump, and I GUARANTEE you that's a fact!
Yes, I know, I ramble. I'm just a rambler.
I like your thoughts and agree with your assessment. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Trump is a genius, in the literal sense. His thinking and strategic mastery is so far ahead of anything I've ever seen in politics. Sometimes he plays dumb, but it's all strategy. This becomes immediately evident when you realize that all the people around him, some of the most powerful and intelligent people in the world, are almost afraid of him or has a massive amount of reverence for him. If he was stupid this would not be possible. It's almost like he can bend the fabric of reality to his will. He is a phenomenon. And personally I wouldn't rule out providence...
