The playbook

Here's the playbook. 

Step 1. Announce some horrific policy attacking vulnerable populations, like that Transgender have to give their sex of birth, not their identity. Then try to implement it--he and his regime are wildly inept at how government works and they see that as a strength. 

Step 2: Get blocked by judges. He fights the block, a few steps perhaps or quits and gives up with the PR victory of terrorizing and imaging he's powerful. 

Step 3: Move onto more successful gifts and terrorizing. The terrorizing proves he's powerful and scary and if there's a money tree to shake, he'll shake it. TV channels and government give him money for considerations and to be left alone in his protection rackets. 

He's a sheep in wolves clothing, he's the emperor in no clothes, he's the little boy who can't persuade the military to like him.
