““Take Trump seriously but not literally.”
That’s a really good point, because he says something like that, he probably won’t do it, but if conditions continue to go in the direction they are, he might. He might be forced to. And why not. Elections have consequences.
Libs (and many others) still dont understand this aspect of Trump even after being in office for over two years. I love how his verbal grenades set people into spittle-sputtering rage. . .even when Trump will never follow through on it. His fondness for these types of statements is why the Leftist media think he is unfit to govern:
If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected. The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.
