1) Seems like every couple of months I have to write a new thread saying what I've said now through two Trump terms: some of you STILL don't understand Trump's modus operandi. Let's look at a couple of issues.

2) First, the H1B fines. In the past, until really even 2025, all presidents followed the standard template in how you roll out a policy or program:
*They float the idea in a "white paper" or in meetings . . .

2) contd . . . with leading Senators or Congressmen. (Given their age, I mean that in all senses of the word).
*Said congresspoogies then contact their corporate donors, or, in the case of Democrats, put in a fast call to Satan.
*"What should we do?"
*Donors: OPPOSE/WATER DOWN

2) contd. . . The policy is neutered, neutralized, or killed before a President can even announce it publicly.

3) Today's Trump Reality: That's GONE.

4) Trump announces a policy already formulated on Truth.

5) BTW, same as how he does diplomacy. He tells furriners on TRUTH.

6) Now here's the kicker that apparently, after all these years, people still don't understand.
*This is NOT "the" policy. This is Trump's opening move.
*Read "Art of the Deal." He always sets the most extreme position out of the gate PRECISELY in order to fall back to . . .

6) contd . . . the policy (or price, or deal) that he REALLY wants and really expects to get.

7) Meanwhile, DemoKKKrats are scrambling. They are already behind the curve. "He did WHAT?"

8) They start making their calls, preparing a defense of STARTING POINT X.

9) Except Trump is already gone from STARTING POINT X. He is now closer to REAL OBJECTIVE Y.

10) But again, this means the RINOs and DemoKKKrats are always behind the curve because they based everything on STARTING POINT X.

11) So, for example, "We'll deport every illegal." DemoKKKrats freak out about gardeners & landscapers. Meanwhile, Trump has already started deporting the most violent criminals.

The public sees this and goes, "That's not too bad. In fact, that's pretty good."

12) Trump now has done two things. He has gotten tacit approval from the public to keep going toward deporting every illegal, while ONLY (so far) deporting the most violent criminals. The public loves this.

13) The other thing he has done is to paint the DemoKKKrats . . .

13) contd . . .into the position of opposing ALL deportations, but since the only ones being deported are illegal snotwagon killers, DemoKKKrats now fly to El Salvador to have tea with quasi-terrorist gangbangers.

14) In this process, Trump delays the more painful policy (deporting all illegals) while building support for a more mitigated policy (getting rid of the worst). If he wants to keep going, he now has much broader support while forcing DemoKKKrats to the most extreme position.

15) So let's look at a couple of these very recent issues with this in mind.

16) The H1B supposed STARTING POINT is massive fines (and they are big---between $100,000 to $150,000 per person per year) on all H1B holders, now or future. But that's never been Trump's objective.

17) Following a Truth post, DemoKKKrats, RINOs, & the cheap labor lobby freak out. They write editorials, hose down "X" like water sprinklers with stupid posts, run to the terrorist-friendly talk shows.

18) Too late.

18) Karoline Leavitt has now "clarified" (i.e., begun to let the real policy objective out of the bag). All the stuff DemoKKKrats and their venomous allies are squealing about aren't even part of the real policy. They look like idiots & wasted more valuable political capital.

19) It's akin to building these phony "fortifications" for the enemy to shell for a week, only to find the real lines are 500 yards away.

20) Moreover (and this is both good and bad) it muddies the waters for everyone. But that's Trump's STYLE AND GOAL. He thrives on chaos.

21) He and only he knows what his REAL POLICY is, and when he will spring it. He doesn't care how it "makes him look." He only cares about the final result.

22) Again, use the analogy of building a big hotel in a major city. He doesn't care about the handshake deals . . .

22) contd . . . the winks and the nods, things he may have said (but not contractually) to suppliers, construction magnates, or whatever. All that matters is end the end you have a new hotel.

23) Meanwhile as the REAL POLICY kicks in, the benefits are good to great.

24) MAGA will still cry, "But I want . . . " while the public goes, "You know, this is an improvement."

25) The enemy never had a chance to stop, or even disrupt the policy.

26) Let me give you two examples of how this used to work---or, more appropriately, did NOT work. George W. Bush, coming right off a narrow reelection, announced plans to try to privatize a teeny tiny sliver of Social Security (2% of the "contributor's" 6%)

27) They rolled it out in the normal fashion, hitting all the talk shows, briefing the obstructionist congress.

28) Before Bush could even attempt this, the DemoKKKrats had old women in wheelchairs in front of cameras saying, "I'll die without my SS."

Game, set, match.

29) Or consider the "Gang of Eight" amnesty bill. Once again, word of this was everywhere. For the only time in his career, Rush Limbaugh urged his army of 20 million listeners go call or write Congress. The firestorm forced the "Gang of Eight" to withdraw it.

30) Trump avoids all of that by starting at the position he knows he'll never get, rolling it out as a fait d'accompli, then letting RINOs or DemoKKKrats think they won something when he moves to his REAL POLICY. They slap themselves on the back for doing exactly what he wanted.

31) So let's look at the whole Truthstorm involving Bondi. First Trump puts out a Truth post lambasting Bondi for not doing anything about the walking dead of Muh Russia hoaxsters & overall criminals.

32) What we NEXT see is a Truth post with him praising Bondie as a great AG.

33) Say what? Well, the intent was to force Bondi to put up or shut up. I can't prove this but I'd bet you a burger that right after that Truth post, Trump got a phone call from Bondi.

I'm guessing she laid out in great detail SEVERAL ongoing cases they have & where they are.

34) At that point, I'm guessing Trump says, "OK, that sounds really good." Trump Truth post #2.

35) What is critical is that people understand that Truth posts are NOT ANNOUNCEMENTS OF FINAL POLICIES OR FINAL JUDGMENTS. They are negotiating tactics & information exchanges.

36) Just as Muy Macho Marco at State (who is great) will not be the first to announce a new policy movement regarding Venezuela, so too other departments get their marching orders and/or policy concerns from Truth.

37) Finally, it's critical to understand that Trump has completely overturned the conventional methods of unveiling policies or conducting foreign affairs.

38) This has largely rendered the Hoax News Media and its pig-Latin allies helpless and irrelevant. Even foreign . . .

38) contd . . . governments now know that they will learn about the real policies on Truth faster than from their lapdogs in the U.S. media or in Congress. So now the Hoax News Media itself must constantly watch Truth for . . . News.

39) Postscript: "influencers" on X, seeing a policy refinement or change from the OPENING POSITION will think "We did that." No, you didn't. It was part of the procedure all along.
