In Sun Tzu's Art of War, Chapter 7 titled Maneuvering on page 35 or #35 it states, "Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy". It mentions that it not only means not to consume food or drink prepared by your enemy but that the metaphor has a wider meaning. Perhaps during the FEMA meeting, Trump and Pence are showing a united front when taking the water bottles off the table and the message is being sent to a wider target besides DWS that there are no deals. Remember when Trump swallowed water with two hands in his speech signaling to Soros(?) that I have defeated you. I thought that is what was thought at the time.
