Interesting explanation coming from the HuffPo. From my business experience it does seem Trump is baiting these guys like a chess master.

It's funny how Trump uses a winning strategy while responding off the cuff. Surely he can't have thought all this through in advance.
Ping.

I see they still have Trump news in the entertainment section, while now admiring his acumen. Wonder how long that can continue.

It’s called thinking on your feet, something I am horrible at.

What makes the move even mor brilliant is the sure fact that Trump was aware Jeb had written that immigration contributed to 911, AND several of the hijackers got FLA ID while Jeb was Governor.
And, it makes you wonder if these folks are smart enough to know they are being outsmarted.

There is a YouTube Video with The Donald being Interviewed by two of his Children. Don’t have the link, saw it a few days ago. I’m sure it’s easy to locate.
You see a serious Guy talking about the Real Estate Recession / Depression in the early 90’s and explaining why his Company survived it while others didn’t.
I think it gives a look into his thought process when dealing with Business decisions.

I think he has thought all these things out. Trump is REALLY smart.

I’d say that Jeb shot himself in the foot on this, but that would overlook the fact that Trump maneuvered him into pulling the trigger. I don’t know if it was calculated on Trump’s part or just fortuitous. But I think Trump may be better at the game than he lets on.

Hadn’t thought of it in chess terms but it does describe Yeb’s position.
The low energy tortoise picked up the dynasty millstone and placed it firmly around his own neck.

Trump’s wheels are always turning. While other’s sleep, The Donallold thinks, and plots his next chess move.

Ya don't get to where Trump is (both in the financial world and in this presidential race) by being a feckless schlub. It's amazing that this far into it the GOPes STILL have no answer or alternative, and are just praying he'll somehow get out of the race. Every single one of the GOPe-approved candidates have outed themselves for the conniving little establishment hacks that they truly are.
Only exception to that is Ted Cruz, who has positioned himself to be the white knight poised at the edge of the battle, and who is fighting against the GOPes (in a sadly quixotic fashion) even while a member himself. Takes guts to call your party leadership cowards and partners in crime with the Dems.
Still, the fact that this presidential race is led by two complete outsiders this far in speaks volumes about the depth to which Americans are completely disgusted and finished with the GOPe.
Die, GOPe. Die.

Donald is playing off the foil of greater America. Jeb! is selling his ego. Donald is selling what he’s been hearing from America that it wants. Egos are going to lose in that game, guaranteed.

“Donallold” = gobbledygook; should be Donald, obviously, above.

I never figgered out chess.
I see it as a fella running a trot line and letting the silly fish bite whatever hook he runs into.
Jeb can’t even figure that one out.

Was it possible he learned this type of maneuver at NYMA ?
