42 I've noticed that Trump operates under an Uncertainty Principle-- he seems to understand that if you're too predictable, your enemies have an advantage.

Cultivating the image of being a little crazy or out-of-control makes predicting you impossible, thus the media's gullibility for stories like this becomes a liability for them instead.

But illegal insider trading requires that you not only trade on the basis of important nonpublic information but that you also have some sort of duty to keep the information confidential. Former football coach Barry Switzer was sued for insider trading following a similar scenario in 1981, but he won the case because he had no duty to ignore a conversation he overheard in a public place.

The problem isn't the AF vs the Army. It's the Key West Agreement. That can be changed by the President easily. Give close air support back to the Army. My understanding is that arming helicopters was a much fought battle in the 60s too even though the AF refused to get involved.

My ex-BIL's cousin, a retired NYC cop, met him that way too - she was a Trump tower right before he announced and, not being at all shy, asked if he would pose for a picture with her. He said, "You're a retired cop? One of NY's Finest? Certainly!"

She had the picture printed out and framed it and took it to a Trump rally in Wisconsin this year. She handed it to him when she was standing in line to shake his hand and asked him to sign it. He did.

She had copies of the signed pic made and sent them out with her Christmas cards - which caused instant heartburn among her liberal relatives.

They will want to believe ANYTHING that feeds confirmation bias into that narrative. ANYTHING. If you want to damage their credibility, feed the easily refuted Bullshit that matches that narrative. The can't help themselves. It's like the Australian beetles that can't tell the difference between their own females and beer bottles so they almost went extinct.

Trump knows this, and he plays it like a fiddle.

Remember the Obama birther announcement he did? Where he got them to cover an infomercial for his campaign?

Until small pockets of the left start to crack, decide that we actually live in a dictatorship (probably when Trump rescinds an Executive Order made by Obama, because obviously), and they start making bombs.

Let's throw this out there: There is a history of political violence from some of the intelligentsia on the left like Bill Ayers. The fact that he never got meaningfully punished is going to act as an exemplar to some of the craziest elements of the left, and there's a non-zero chance that someone will bomb something within the next two years.

Because Trump is already planning on how to win the popular vote as well in 2020. That's why.

He won PA for the first time since the 80's--something they all said he couldn't do--he wants NY next; it's personal.
