This one works every frickin’ time:

Chapter 2 - Laying Plans

22. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.

[Wang Tzu, quoted by Tu Yu, says that the good tactician plays with his adversary as a cat plays with a mouse, first feigning weakness and immobility, and then suddenly pouncing upon him.]

Does what Wang Tzu describes sound a lot like the lion and the hyenas story that Trump likes so much?
