You are revealing the mechanics and potentials of what is going on right now.
I underscore and emphasize the logical consequences of this scenario.
In my mind Trump is largely and actor who plays a part that is conditioning the public for his end game. One side fawns over him and lauds him as a great, authoritarian leader, (no matter how erroneous that gross misrepresentation is). The other side gets a perfect representation of a packaged facade that fits perfectly in a mold where he is one or more of these: a liar, insane, demented, mean, uncaring, insincere, self-absorbed, imbecilic, physically ill, etc.
Do not get me wrong, he may be all of those in some way or another and to various degrees. I am pointing out that he is an actor, first and foremost and has had plenty of experience in what he does, (most of his life). He is portraying a dual manipulation that is working very well and that's what matters. It doesn't take long, when you research his past and observe him carefully, to see that we may very well NOT be seeing the real Donald Trump, but rather a crafted character with an ulterior motive and the OP is hitting the vein of what that is and so I won't reiterate it.
Before anyone says that what I am suggesting takes anything off his shoulders, it doesn't. To me it is a dual-edged sword. I see him much differently than I did and more things actually makes sense about what he does, on the other hand he then becomes far more dangerous and onerous than his facade would reveal. No, he is not knowledgeable about many things, but this one thing, expert manipulation is his expertise and ALL of us have been played like a fiddle.
Thanks for your post!
