I agree with the '4d chess' analogy. I read through Obama in 08 when he was talking about rhetoric on closing gitmo and pulling out of afghanistan (newsflash: we haven't)
Politicians lie and Trump is doing it, this I foresaw. I also foresee him boxing the DNC in. He has no issue with the left, but he an issue with the DNC and even the RNC, but he is pretty much responsible for maintaining control of the house/senate via down ballot voters, so he has them boxed in as it stands now.
His meeting with Gabbard is very indicative of it, as I believe he is trying to pull the populist left wingers (anti-establishment Bernie sentiment) into his corner to garner an absolute majority of 'drain the swamp' mentality. I disagreed with a lot of Bernie (also agreed with a lot, it was very 50/50 firm agreeing/disagreeing), but him and Trump tapped into the populist mentality surging forward and namely wants to be with people who aren't establishment. Either that or trying to placate the only possible counter to him in 2/4 years as I firmly believe Sanders would have beat Trump if the DNC weren't corrupt and didn't squeeze him out.
Gabbard's military record and anti-immigration stance will be something he probably tries to use to mold the populist left into a voter bloc that will be agreeable to what he's about to do. In 2/4 years, the DNC will be in overdrive make no mistake about it. If corruption reform and the like can be spun against him, which is fairly easy since he's a billionaire, he has no desire to sink himself and send the system back into established hands (Bush/Clinton).
His acceptance speech said it very well. He will work with those who want to work with him, and that includes moving his own positions to include as many as possible - that's what a leader does. He wants talent on his side, and that means gays, blacks, women (who are actually the majority lol), whoever. If your only talent is to be an operative and great at playing political chess, then you've missed the chance for you to join his side as those slots are few, and that he's going to be in full lockdown mode, which I see by him putting his family very close to him, D.C. is about to have a fire sale on the housing market.
In the end, if he only plans for the immediate future he will get nothing done as forces are already be moved against the projected plan, which is evershifting causing difficulty on his opponents in gathering a sight picture. He needs to put people in long term binds that will cause them to bail on stopping him, that's politics and he knows it. He knows he doesn't control the narrative, and if the masses are fed lies that will cause people to ignore reality and think he's going to wall illegals into ghettos - he will lose. He also knows he has the power and that the media goes to him to maintain solvency, he will play everything he has, just like him saying nuclear weapons were on the table. Don't shift even an iota of power back the other way unless you get something back yours.
of course the clintons or perhaps just those that are below them (yah right lol) are trafficking kids so I'm guessing his current statement he's about to double-back on once Obama can't pardon Clinton. As I've been reading more into JA being MIA, perhaps everyone is waiting until the changing of the guard for the next movements.
