Trump is an amateur tactician, as is anyone who 'goes with their gut'. I've seen people use that term to conceal their claws...but if Trump had claws, I reckon we'd have seen them by now.

Wow. You really haven't been paying attention. Look at what he's already maneuvered out of. Multiple times he's been in positions where even I believed he was finished, because I couldn't see a way out — and then Trump makes it look easy. I've completely given up on the concept that I'm in the same tier of strategist as him — Trump is on a level I can't comprehend.

I assure you, every single time Trump (or Bush 43 for that matter) said he was "going with his gut," he was hiding his claws. It'd be a GOP cliché by now if Democrats didn't prefer thinking of their opposition as idiots — playing dumb is how the GOP elite get along with a horde of rednecks who hate to take advice from anyone, while simultaneously lulling Dems into a false sense of Rick and Morty intellectual superiority. 'Mericuh.

You are giving him too much credit. He is a survivor and a risk taker rather than a tactician.

You are correct. Trump is an absolute master at capturing and controlling the news cycle.

Trump never proposed that Mexico would just write a check.

Hmm. I'd need to search, but this point seems vulnerable.

He was as vague as possible on the details (as usual). I just used some common sense. Because actually believing that Mexico will be writing a check is too bold even for GEOTUS.

Look guys, you can pick one: either
1. Trump keeps surviving and controlling the news cycle because he has a high degree of some form of intelligence, and is therefore a genius, or
2. Trump keeps surviving and controlling the news cycle because he possesses magical powers derived from the secret truth that he's actually humanity's most powerful psyker.

I prefer to go with the more mundane, less magical explanation. But hey, if you want to go the God Emperor Trump route, I won't stop you.

Trump ruined the Republican Par-

I think we had already established Trump is intelligent for sure. How intelligent he is (I doubt anyone would call him a genius at anything considering the criminal's noose is tightening all around him and he couldn't even find a chief of staff for himself) is a matter of total speculation.

If he is pretending to sound like an idiot, he is doing a good job, all the time. He rarely if ever breaks cover, and sounds smart. If done solely to appease the rednecks, as you so put it, he risks losing everyone else, as has happened.

Trump might be intelligent, but apparently not smart enough to cover his corruption tracks very well.

He was very clever in copying nazi tactics (who themselves didn't invent the wheel in this regard) to FAKE NEWS media, effectively silencing critics, but this had the unfortunate effect of relying on the TRUE NEWS media like FOX, which is now starting to turn against him.

This situation really is unprecedentent. It's not a pornstar affair whilst his wive is pregnant, which incidentally didn't phase even a little bit evangelical christians, this is a matter of breaking the law and selling out your country.

I know the latter doesn't mean much anymore to so-called patriots, but it really should. Russia is not your friend, though it may pretend to be. Saudi Arabia actually is, but is like that one guy you know who is a laugh at parties but when everyone sobers up, they realise he is actually a loonie psychopathic murderer.

Well the mid-term elections went well, now didn't they?

Instead of a blue wave, you got a blue tsunami.

Probably due to that FAKE NEWS that is climate change...

Remember when the Democrats lost 63 seats in 2010? According to your logic, Obama ruined the Democrat Party. A similar thing happened with Bill Clinton btw.

You have this habit of putting words into especially my mouth.

I never claimed Trump ruined the Republican party, nor that the midterm elections were a good indicator of President A ruining his Party A.

I believe the Republican Party was already corrupt to the core, and the only people who could salvage it, all decided on early retirement since 2016, or unfortunately, passed away.

Midterm elections are at the very least a decent indicator of a party's current popularity and the success of their campaign strategy.

See how hard that was? Not once did I put words in your mouth and assumed you said something you didn't, and argued that strawman.

That's TRUMP-level genius, man.

Then why mention the midterms? Makes no sense. By the way, I don't care about the Republican party. Those neocons can fuck off. In a perfect world Trump would have his own party. And people like Bernie and Queen Cortex would make their own party instead of relying on the neolibs.
