The best quote to take away from the article is from that true American patriot, Mike Tyson, “ “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
President Trump is not playing Obama games, not now, never. Obama thinks he is running a shadow government. He is wrong. The President will pull him out into the sunlight and challenge him and beat him for the next 8 years. In front of America he will beat him at every quarter, there will be no shadow to hid in.
It's in his nature and always has been, as near as I can tell.
Otoh, obama was uniquely prepared from his earliest childhood by forces far beyond his control to become a sort of chameleon who had to quickly adapt and fit into each new place, family and culture he found himself.
My guess is, that in every situation obama is always an actor playing a character on reality TV.
But Trump is Trump no matter what he's doing, and no matter what he's doing, Trump is top of his class.
I think and believe that we and the world are beyond lucky that Donald J. Trump is the POTUS.
It's been in the works for a while.
