ThreadTrump planned his presidency for fifty years, as we see from this article.In 1969, he began thinking about changing the world.Therefore, what did Trump begin doing from the start?https://www.nytimes.com/1984/04/08/magazine/the-expanding-empire-of-donald-trump.html

Trump began working on how to win in OTHER COUNTRIES.In 1998, he told Roseanne that he took his eye off of his real-estate holdings, and as a result, they lost value.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaILj90OnpU

Why would Trump take his eye off of his holdings?To golf?No.He was working on influencing the politics of every other country on earth.Trump knew that it wasn't enough to change the US alone.The WORLD had to change.

Sudan and Libya are good examples.The Sudanese army overthrew dictator Omar al-Bashir and announced that the country would be under military rule for two years.Protestors rejected that, and so the army has been negotiating. Each side is making compromises.https://www.foxnews.com/world/no-deal-but-sudanese-army-protesters-will-keep-talking

Outside forces have fired on both the protestors and the military in an effort to force a violent crackdown, but the army has not fallen into the trap.Sudan was a disaster. I thought it was hopeless.As of this moment, things are going extremely well. If a deal is struck between the army and the protestors, it means that the danger has passed.Did you see the word I used?DEAL.Who is the best deal maker on earth?

Now Libya.Obama overthrew Gaddafi and left Libya in chaos. It now has two governments.The UN recognizes the Government of National Accord in Tripoli, while the Libyan House of Representatives in Tobruk is ALSO seen as a legitimate body.Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar--an American citizen--commands the Tobruk armed forces, the Libyan National Army.

Currently Haftar is engaged in an offensive on Tripoli.Trump recently spoke to him by phone, that made the world angry.Why?Clearly Trump is trying to make a deal to stop the current Libyan civil war.The UN is useless, and the press is dishonest. All the old ways of doing things are obsolete.ALL THAT MATTERS IS THE DEAL.

Trump can make a deal with ANYBODY.He spent fifty years preparing.The hardest lesson for me to learn was that the world is addicted to what the historian Barbara Tuchman called folly.Tuchman defined folly as making decisions that you KNOW ARE STUPID, but going ahead and making them anyway.History is full of folly.Only Trump and his allies have broken the cycle of folly-failure-folly-failure.

@ThomasWic Gaddafi was in shock the U.S. attacked him. It now occurs to me from your post that Obama did it to expand Iran's footprint. That Valerie Jarrett or a similar ilk came up with the policy for Iran's benefit?

There's an analog to the expanding Spygate conspiracy.We're seeing that Spygate is much bigger than we thought.But so is Trump's operation to change the world.Trump created networks that dwarf those of the American Intelligence Community.The IC isn't talking to Khalifa Haftar, for example.Trump is.

The IC never contacted Kim Jong-un.Trump did.When he was head of the CIA, Mike Pompeo secretly went to Pyongyang and installed some form of video communication that allows Trump and Kim to speak directly.And Trump learned Korean so that he could address the ruler of North Korea, whomever that person would be.I'm positive that Trump had contacted Kim when Kim was in Switzerland.

So Trump's preparations in the US were actually the LEAST of the work he did to become president.He made preparations all over the world.THAT IS A FACT.By himself, Trump outwitted all his opponents, foreign and domestic.He practiced for fifty years, and then he hired himself as president.And that means all is well.END

@Joycevor @ThomasWic David McCullough is also good, he won Pultizers for writing about John Adams (became a miniseries) and Harry Truman. Also wrote one on Theodore Roosevelt. It feels like you are right there at the time.

@Lisa22 Yup it was great. I have visited Monticello, Mt. Vernon, and Monroe's estate, Highland. I'm an 18th century fan. Love Charleston and Winterthur in Delaware. Winterthur is the bomb. An homage to the American decorative arts starting with the colonists & Dutch settlers. The private tours are the best. Conducted by the ladies of the historical society with flashlights. Best Grandma's attic ever. Each item is catalogued. Boston is on my bucket list.

@Lisa22 I also want to visit the Octagon in DC. Dolley and James lived there when they burned the White House. Supposedly haunted by the Tayloes who owned the home. There is an HGTV series about their current descendants and restoration of Mt. Airy, their estate in VA. Oh and put Williamsburg on your list too.

@ThomasWic I agree. Further to that what I have observed about Trump is that he is a master of leverage. Because of that it often seems that he underreacts to attacks or opposition, but the principle he follows is to hold on to his high cards. A high card loses its value once it is played, but an unplayed trump provides ongoing leverage.
