Is Trump Using Rules for Radicals

The Citizens Handbook ^ | 2/8/2025 | EQAndyBuzz

Every year I read "Rules for Radicals" and the Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963. I do this to remind myself that America is always in danger from the left and as an American, it is my sworn duty to god and country to help defend it from enemies both foreign and domestic.

After Trump won the Whitehouse back for the people, I read Rules for Radicals again, but from the perspective of a conservative. I believe that Trump in the four years he was out of office, picked up a copy and came up with the idea to use Alinsky against the Democrats. And it seems to be working...........

[Tell It Right]

At the very least, Trump employs rule 11 a lot. It’s sometimes called “rope-a-dope”.

[Fido969]

Trump is using “Trump’s Rules for Radicals”.

[EvilCapitalist]

If he is, I approve.

the most effective point is to use humor. The democrats today are literally a punchline. No straight people want to be democrats now. They are the party that wants to cut your son’s $&@& off. The party that can’t tell you what a man or woman is. The party of unfettered illegal immigration. The spiraling economy out of control. The jokes literally write themselves. The blue-haired angry lesbians and the man-bun beta soy bois.

"Rule 5: Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It's hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage."

Man, this is so Trumpian. Genius.

[MayflowerMadam]

My favorite is Rule #5.

Karoline Leavitt is pretty good using it, too.

[AndyJackson]

It’s like using one of those long spray insecticides on a hornet’s nest. They that mad.

[AndyJackson]

I think Alinsky stole the rules from Trump.

At this point the Democrats are a caricature of a caricature. It’s hard to make fun of that, but somehow Trump manages.

[jmaroneps37]

Yup.

[paudio]

Both Muslims and Jews also want to cut your son’s d**k ... LOL

[Strict9]

not the whole thing though!

[paudio]

That’s true... It still can function well...

[SisterK]

I think he is using General JEB Stuart’s playbook

[logi_cal869]

Did Patton read Infanterie Greift?

C'mon, man. The answer to both is likely undeniably in the affirmative.

[Harpotoo]

And add RFR to the Art of War;-)

I can see how Trump would be playing by his own rules and how it could look like they mirror Alinsky's. I'm sure he's aware of R4R but he's definitely putting his own stamp on the MAGA plan.

[Vaduz]

Agree not only use Alinsky against the democrats but inform the public of what they are doing.

The liberal media has a lot of lost lambs looking for work and the democrat party is like the snake seeing the eagle dropping down.

The left has nothing left to hide behind fate ensues.
