(51,202 posts)1. Go two better than that
1. Blast memes on social media. More effective than a toady press who won't use a funny meme in reporting.
2. Use "Vice President Trump" because it names him and directly demotes him. Could even stir them up more by illustrating "Vice President Trump and Princeling Vance".

Here's the next sentence:
"If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant."
I think Democrats are already employing that first suggestion. As far as pretending to be weak, not many people want that in the current context. Trump has already maxed out on arrogance. But as far as Musk and other wannabe oligarchs, maybe there's something there..

Has a very tough time connecting with it's dark side.
The "Dark Brandon" meme actually poked fun at that fact.
To quote a video I watched, "there is a time to be like water, and a time to be like rock."
