Oh man, does power have the luxury of patience, or what? Trump is like the grand master chess player taking on a hundred other players, moving from chessboard to chessboard, like a magician. I'm sorry but you have to admire it. The other players, so out of their league.
First Player-The Danish/ Greenland leaders saying they want to address the us security concerns around their country, something about a 1951 agreement allowing the us to establish military bases, you know, for the Cold War. It's obvious though these leaders are hamstrung over their own misconceptions. Little Denmark colonizing Big Icy Greenland a couple of centuries, regardless of the 1951 agreement, and the population of Greenland that wants total independence from both US and Denmark. It doesn't bode well for anyone in this day and age to want independence, even citizens of America.
Second Player-Venezuela waits on the long term sanctions to take effect once again.
Third Player- Cuba which has sustained a life long penalty for trying and succeeding to assassinate the POTUS in retaliation for the CIA multiple attempts to assassinate Fidel, plus in trying to counter the US by having a non sexual relationship with Russia, currently tries to answer the question, Can a little socialist island ninety miles from colonial Florida survive the hatred of the Secretary of State?
Fourth Player- The Epstein files sit somewhere like Humpty Dumpty, unreachable by even all the Anti-kings men, who themselves are the masters of self-deceit and questionable scrambling loyalties, a breakfast made in hells own kitchen.
Player Five- Trump has announced that the next phase of the Gaza Rehabilitation Plan will begin soon, now that Israel has established military outposts in Gaza and seems not only to have disquieted their own population, which favors not a two state solution just like its leaders but also has forgotten its own leaders corruption.
Player Six- Corruption Itself one of the first grandmasters predicted to fall is the very deciduous nature of the systems supposedly designed to keep America and everyone else stabilized. Trump loves to play this piece, the Kings gambit, by not limiting himself to the games restrictions of his favorite piece, allowing complete freedom of direction and movement. This is done with assurances of money, security, safety, and threats. ( By the way, the constitution never addressed the possibility of a leader that doesn't want to play by the rules, an actual dictator)
Player Seven-Iran has been in the game for awhile, playing , like many of the boards, on threats it can't back up, a legitimacy it can't maintain, except for its one moveable piece that has become more and more irrelevant. Like Cuba, Iran has the distinction of having thrown out a leader which the US favored by trying to colonize these countries and having failed, thus creating a decades long revenge on the part of the US. Unfortunately for both Cuba and Iran, the world's nations are weary, possibly bored, with claims that the US is to blame for just about everything bad that happens, whether it's true or not, because their own truth and tell is also as skewed as the USA.
Player Eight-The Constitution- see above. Like Player Seven, who relies on a liberal reading of the Constitution to sustain its game skills, the claim that the US is on the edge of a constitutional crisis isn't scary anymore because it's a simpleton's denial that the constitutional crisis already arrived and is now in full effect, and it appears it's not too bad after all, kind of like a small 'a' apocalypse. No citizen nor politician rises to point out the emperors rules are naked as all get out.
Player Nine- The Apocalypse is Here or Coming board brings prediction, promise, religion into it all, and though it sometimes appears that our current situation is driven by the return of a supernatural evil, this player doesn't want to undermine his game by proofs or the truth. Until Trump says it's here, it remains a possibility, especially if Trump himself is the Beast.
Player Ten-If Trump fears any player, which he doesn't, it is the national election board where several small borderlying, so to speak, issues dominate and sometimes frustrate his ability to maneuver. Immigration, sleepyness, congress, democrats, domestic terrorists, housewives all throw up smokescreens, deceptions, feisty press conferences, stupid questions ( by women, especially).
Player Eleven- I mentioned at the beginning of this essay that there were a hundred players and I'm not going to mention any more for two reasons. First, Trump can always pull a rabbit out of a hat, because he is a master at sleight of hand and mind, so the other eighty nine players could be anything, and, for that reason alone, I'm already exhausted like many are, trying to maintain compassion, empathy, hope, and a belief in a god or revolutionary justice prevailing.
I do wonder if any belief in god, hope, revolution, or equal justice for all philosophies is merely an AI twitter account or book I read once.
I also don't know if Trumps defeat in the game of life vs death will resolve the situation. I like to believe and fear that it's bigger than him because we, those of us who wish for actual change, need to learn how to experience our own revolution rather than just go back to same o, same o.
