If there’s one thing we know about Donald Trump – the businessman – it’s that he never operates in a vacuum: it’s a big dog-eat-dog world, and he plays that game very well. In Mr. Trump’s extreme business world, you don’t win playing one-dimensional strategies.

You go into EVERY situation knowing there are multiple levels of players, and multiple agendas being played, and game every one of them out with multiple alternatives.

So, when revelations come to light that, surprise!!, Obama’s DoJ DID in fact have taps in place on the Trumpster’s campaign director, we wonder just who was playing who?

Trump-the-businessman/campaigner knew he wasn’t just up against Hillary, but up against a complete array of interests, political and business, that included the Executive branch headed by a man who never hesitated to use his powers of public office…

…legally – or otherwise.

Does anyone with a dash of common sense believe Donald Trump would ‘unwittingly’ choose as his campaign team anyone who had ties to foreign governments, without understanding the consequences such a choice would make, given Obama’s propensity to abuse powers of office…INCLUDING surveillance powers of the FBI, CIA, and NSA?

Not to mention that Mr. Trump had to know there were politically-appointed ‘enemies in the midst’ of these various awesomely powerful agencies who would use whatever they could against him – without being asked to do so – given ANY opportunity.

Which leads us to the premise of this post: given he is a crafty, sublime businessman and strategist…the real question is how he used the enemy’s weaknesses to advantage during – and after – a campaign that resulted in Mr. Trump capturing the ultimate prize.

Now…knowing all this, who was playing who?

If the truth ever came out, there wouldn’t be enough egg for the faces of those played.

And for any who wonder why there aren’t more Dept of Justice investigation activities against the array of corrupt Democrat politicians and political players who deservedly could be frog-marched to federal prisons, we suggest you remember the old saying…

…the ‘Potomac 2-step’…

…where knowledge is ultimate power – and a full dance-card makes you king.

When accumulating powerful chips in ‘the game’, you don’t waste ’em on a quick dance, when a SLOW waltz can be much, much more gratifying…and advantageous.

We believe the KING is playing 3-dimensional chess…while others think ‘checkers’.

Hail to the Trump.
