And think how utterly miserable "they" must be with every passing day: "We know hw's got something up his sleeve. Will he launch it today?" The next day comes, and they ask themselves the very same question. And the next. And the next. And the next. They're going to be driven insane by anxiety before 2024 even starts. (Well, more insane than they already are anyway).
That scenario gives this old curmudgeon great amusement.
I’m going to get some good Sun Tzu quotes for my files. They will always come in handy.
