The proposition that Trump was brilliantly playing 3-D chess every time he committed a gaffe was utterly preposterous-even absurd.

The 3D chess thing was always a little much. I think Trump cutting the Gordian knot would be a better analogy. People are so used to regular politicking that whenever he said something that appeared to be a gaffe, they thought he was playing a long, complicated game, when really he was just saying what he really thought and then STICKING TO IT unapologetically, and people were so baffled by the concept that not backing down could be successful they invented ideas of greater things at play. Truth is, a man with balls can flatten all of these gutless politicians. Trump making any attempt actually to play politics will fail. Trump simply saying and doing what he wants and not backing down will win. I think once he hit the office, he started trying to employ politics, and that strategy is failing. I also wish Ivanka would stay home and make sandwiches.

Trump plays 3D chess when it comes to persuading people, however the guy you’re replying to is just too stupid to get how that works so he regually posts up how stupid Trump is and so such.

Trump’s normal tactics in getting things done is owning the downside. If Trump loses on the wall now he’ll use it to win later or in another area. Already Trump’s loss on Obamacare is destroying Ryan’s approval ratings which Trump can use to his advantage in a verity of ways. That’s always been the secret of Trump’s success, he finds a way to gain either by winning or losing on something.
