Donald Trump and the Art of War

[ClydeR]

Sun Tzu says you should not overestimate your opponents. He mainly says you should not underestimate your opponents, but he also says that overestimating them is bad too.

With the child internment policy, Trump made the error of overestimating Democrats. Trump thought for sure if put immigrant kids in tents in the desert, then Democrats would feel so bad about it that they would quickly relent and give Trump funding for the Wall. He overestimated the character of Democrats. Democrats are just fine having immigrant kids languish in the desert if they think it is good for them politically.

Shame! Shame on the Democrats! All they have to do is fund the Wall and change the law so that only people from Sweden can come to the USA. Then Trump will bus the kids back to Mexico.

It's a troll account.

Too easy to dismiss things this way. The ClydeR account has created many threads that get hundreds or thousands of posts.

ClydeR has been a troll account since it was created. He was originally playing a whole "I'm a Right Winger" thing and posting over-exaggerated shit, but he seems to have given up on that. Now he just posts stupid shit and gets bites sometimes.

He is basically you, but with less emotional attachment to the forums.

Does it matter? His threads get posts. What's the point of even typing out, "It's a troll account"? You will end up posting in his threads anyway. That's rhetorical by the way. I know what your point is. You're attempting to undermine the credibility of the content he's posting by calling him a troll from the get go. It's stupid and reactionary; especially because you will continue to post in his threads, but you still feel it's necessary to call him a troll. Makes no sense.

Lots of troll threads get posts. That is the point of trolling.

Necro's threads got a lot of posts too. Just because you agree with what a troll says, doesn't mean he isn't a troll.

Lol I was responding to you, not the thread. I bet you're a fucking riot at parties.
