1. In the world of Multiplayer Online RPGs (role playing games), there is a key trinity of player roles: Tank, Healer, and Damage Dealer.
President Trump's greatest asset is his ability to play the role of the Tank.
President Trump's greatest asset is his ability to play the role of the Tank.
2. The role of the Healer in the group is to keep the party alive, the Damage Dealers are the ones who actually attack the enemies, and the Tank is the heavily armored player who forces the enemies to attack him so that the others in the group can do their jobs.
3. Trump's ability to "tank" has helped him to accomplish so much in so little time that it boggles the mind.
4. A great tank not only maintains the focus and attention of the enemies at all times, but also positions them so that the rest of the group of players can take them down with maximum speed and efficiency.
5. We see this play out daily in the political sphere. Trump is a master of drawing the attention of his enemies to whatever he decides to focus them on. His platform and his tweets are outrageously effective to distract from what's really happening.
6. He takes the slings and arrows with ease because he knows that behind the scenes his enemies are being undermined and destroyed. And they are so focused on him that they don't even notice it happening.
7. As @ThomasWictor has pointed out, many times Trump will spark controversy or act in order to cover for our allies elsewhere who are executing on a plan, such as the activities of the GCC.
8. We can also see this starting to happen with the DOJ. Trump's commentary in the public space is letting the media argue back and forth about whether or not he will fire Rosenstein/Mueller, all the while Huber and Horowitz are building up to unleash the storm.
9. Perhaps Mueller's probe is Tanking in a different way - creating hype for the media to bluster about while really accomplishing nothing. Marginalizing all of the "Democrat Hillarybot lawyers" that Mueller assembled so that they don't have time to work on other things.
10. Then, once the existence of the Mueller investigation has successfully protected the IG and Huber investigations from harm/undermining, The rug will be swept away.
11. Just a thought. End.
