“Trump knows everything there is to know, even WITHOUT declassification.
Trump is just going through the motions to hoodwink the Swamp.
Any attempt by the Swamp to flim-flam Trump will be met with fire and fury.”
I agree with everything except perhaps the fire & fury.
Trump seems to be more inclined to let the swamp creatures thrash about on the lines in order to sink the hooks in deeper - then feed the lines out a bit farther and just tire them out.
Fire and fury may not be necessary or desirable if the deep state can be disposed of in a more low profile manner.
To carry the fishing analogy to its logical conclusion - the spectacle of impressive trophy fish mounted on White House walls may not be the optics Trump is looking for.
I meant he'd do that behind closed doors.....not for public consumption.
“Fire and fury may not be necessary or desirable if the deep state can be disposed of in a more low profile manner.”
I realize that might seem ideal. But if all things being equal, I’d favor HIGH profile — if you drain the Swamp slowly, you give its creatures time — what is called in chess ‘initiative’.
Flood the zone — that’s what’s been working best so far.
Then again, if he can get the hooks even deeper and net more fish all at once, that’s good too. Or get the big fish.
But don’t forget — he can pardon the little fish later on if they cooperate.
