That’s not what the quote means at all. It’s not a rationalization to justify anything, it’s a war strategy. Your interpretation serves your narrative, and that’s fine. But it doesn’t make you right about another person’s intent; it only makes you officially a snake in the grass.

He’s a billionaire. Nothing in this is even remotely true about the man. You simply don’t become that successful being that way. You’re acting like an emotional never trumper. How many times have you met Trump that you can make this assessment?

It's one of those sayings that only sounded cool. But in application it's a different story.

aka Machiavelli...

Art of War is where it's at.

Nah. Its a good business/competitive strategy. This characterization is over-contextualizing it in some sort of Shakespearean way. And who uses the male pronoun in language like this these days? C'mon, time to update.

I think your ego has grown and you think you can sway an election, so your testing that theory. The weak and impatient might listen to you but not the people who believe in Trump's agenda. He has only been in office 2 years. Besides what will they do vote Democrat?

People that believe in 4d chess will hang on this quote all day.

absolutely on point. but ya said for watchful and awareness reasons so as to not be backstabbed twice.

Also that of a sycophantic beta ...

False!

Yes!!

You've misconstrued what that saying really means. There is no rationalizing needed. He knows who is enemies are. The so called gifted that avoid him just have no guts

The pool of truly gifted people willing to work for Trump is enormous. Problem is Trump won't consider anybody outside the Establishment.
