The French diplomat Talleyrand, who served Napoleon, as well as the Kings of France before and after Napoleon, was considered a wily fellow who always had more going on than it seemed.
When Talleyrand died, the Austrian statesman Metternich said, “I wonder what he meant by that?”
The US Media never stops and asks itself what President Trump is really up to. They just assume he’s an idiot.
Correct. And, Donald Trump has used that stereotype of him by the “elites” his entire career. If you read his book, The Art of the Deal, he outlines numerous occasions of how he has played this to his advantage for many many years.
In fact, during the primaries, he addressed this and gave examples at several of his rallies. And, still, after all these decades the “elites” still haven’t learned.
Their arrogance is so great they are incapable of learning anything at all counter to their preconceptions. And, Donald Trump is well aware of this and continues to play them like the fools they are.
and make of themselves idiots.
It's always a good tactic to get your enemies to underestimate you. They think his 2016 win was a fluke.
He really does play 5th dimensional chess.
