Excellent article he Nails it.

That is some tremendous thinking by Greenfield. Thanks for posting.

HOORAY President Donald J. Trump. Thank you, sir.

Trump however thrives on chaos. Instead of trying to control chaos, he generates it, causing uncertainty and then offering a sense of security in exchange for a good deal.

plus he is not afraid of a fight or competition, and thrives on them.

Trump loves to whack the Gordian Knots he comes across (or has long been mentally stymied by) with a sharp edge to see if he can cut through.

Brilliant analysis by Greenfield! Best insights I’ve ever read anywhere, anytime about President Trump’s way of thinking and operating. It’s all about TEMPO and taking the INITIATIVE, keeping your opponents off guard and unbalanced.

Fantastic article and a great summary of why we all admire President Trump.

[JayGalt]

Great article, Lou. Made my day.

Trump hates reacting, he loves taking the initiative and forcing others, rivals, competitors, media syndicates or foreign dictators, to react to him. That’s the essence of strategy and he nails it the way few have.

This is part of the Fundamental theory of poker. Make your opponent react and have to be the one making a decision.

Trump reminds me more of Teddy Roosevelt. I like it. He portrays a more mature but still brash, exhuberent, confident United States that has earned its place and needs, no deserves, to take advantage of that and not merely maintain that let alone apologise for it.

He cant break what is already broken so the only way is up and better. Bravo Mr. Trump.

Thanks for the ping Lou. Great article by Daniel. He nails it pretty good.

Excellent. Great explanation of how Trump befuddles the hypersensitive lefties. He’s the adult in a crowd of emotional juvenile delinquents, but isn’t beyond playing thier games just enough to drive them crazy. He’s crazy like a fox.

He doesn’t get locked into predetermined goals. Instead he lets the kinetic confrontation create opportunities by exploiting his opponent’s reactions.

If Americans have a fatal flaw, a weakness that undermines our domestic and international politics, it’s a need to be liked. Most other countries don’t wonder whether the rest of the world likes them.

Blame Hollywood, dime novels or comic books, but as Americans we see ourselves as the heroes. And our enemies, foreign and domestic, know that they can break us by making us question our goodness.

It’s how they did it in Vietnam, in Iraq and too many foreign policy debates to count.

One of Trump’s great strengths is that he’s not afraid to be the bully, the heavy and the jerk. He can flatter Kim Jong-un, Trudeau and any other leader. Or call them names.

Once again, Greenfield 'gets it'...

[Albion Wilde]

By acting, Trump takes control of each encounter. What happens next may not be ideal, but Trump cares more about maintaining the initiative than about forcing a specific outcome. He doesn’t see politics as a chess match, but as a boxing match. He doesn’t get locked into predetermined goals. Instead he lets the kinetic confrontation create opportunities by exploiting his opponent’s reactions.

This is a very astute observation, an insight that had eluded me so far. He is not afraid to roll his sleeves up and wade in. What a blessing -- he is truly in the pioneer spirit of the colonies and early U.S.
