Let me say I think Trump is very smart!
But I think most politicians are very very very dumb!
(There are three “verys” because I am including Rats & the MSM!)
So his opposition are not the challenge they think the are!
They’re like manipulating moths to flames. Their behavior is very predictable!
And Trump knows that!
Batman Gambit:
A plan that revolves entirely around people doing exactly what you'd expect them to do. This trope relies heavily on Flaw Exploitation manipulating, although it can work with virtues instead of "flaws" just as easily. Sometimes the flaw is that the villains are so predictable that they'll take the first chance they have to do something mean and underhanded. Other times, the flaw is that the heroes are so heroic that they'll act for the greater good without even thinking about it.
