Great work. Thanks for the dates. I do doubt the communication between Trump and anyone at JD, or FBI. If he were even perceived to have any “control”, he would be a liar, and since he is Republican, the Hill would happily lead an impeachment.
I only opine on what I see and hear, of course. If I hear Trump’s anger at Sessions, I believe it’s anger. (I was angry as well.)
“I only opine on what I see and hear, of course. If I hear Trump’s anger at Sessions, I believe it’s anger....”
I don’t think you should take everything Trump says at face value.
Look, I believe Trump is as honest as they come. I believe during the campaign he told the truth and made promises he plans to keep. At that time though, he was communicating directly with we the people, building a bond of trust with the people he sought to represent. That is a time for straightforward honesty, and I believe Trump lived up to that ideal.
Now Trump is communicating also with his adversaries. Globalists who do not put America first. Partisan Democrat and uniparty political hacks who simply want him to fail so they can take his place. Corrupt Deep state swamp creatures who use the government to sell out private citizens in order to line their own pockets. Foriegn enemies who want what we have.
When you are talking to adversaries, - whether you are playing poker, or negotiating a deal, or executing a political strategy to MAGA, or draining the swamp - you can’t win if you telegraph your true intentions. Deception and misdirection are your most powerful tools.
For that reason you simply cannot take Trump’s public statements at face value. You have to consider that his words, his tone and his expressions are being chosen for the effect the will have on his adversaries.
Please note that I’m not saying Trump is dishonest - far from it. I’m saying that there’s a time and a place for straight honest talk - and that’s when you’re at a campaign rally talking to the people or drawing up your campaign platform.
Then there’s a time and place for striking a negotiating position, a misdirection, a distraction, a bluff - that’s when your target audience includes your adversaries and you want to win. You win by baiting them into a trap, lowering their guard, triggering their emotions, exploiting their fears and weaknesses, hiding your own strengths, hiding your next move, maintaining the element of surprise.
Believe me, Donald Trump did not get to where he got without mastering the Art of the Deal - he even wrote the book!
