However, he should also hire somebody who is an expert at linguistics, as well in order to effectively counter Trump's well honed, manipulative style.

Remember, as much of a clown as you think he is, look how far he has gone with that, and it hasn't stopped. I am only just now seeing a little too much repetition in his confidence man shtick and he is not keeping it fresh. On a national level, the repetition will wear thin with some people at least and they will get it.

Trump needs to wrest more power to make up for that, because the power and control is what he is going for, and has been all along. We know it is not about "serving" as the President. That's part of the big joke. He is using the office for his own interests and that is where it gets very dark for us all.

It doesn't take a master manipulator to manipulate racist assholes into acting like racist assholes, and that sums up about 100% of Trump's presidency.

The whole "he's a skilled manipulator" is a smokescreen thrown up by journalists so that they can pretend that they were deceived by a transcendent supervillian, rather than admitting that they bought into the unmistakable bullshit offered by an unmistakable piece of shit.

I think Bloomberg is getting under his skin even more because he is so much more successful with money. This has now become a battle on a level of cavemen. Alpha male BS! When will the human race ever get past this shit? But I agree, Bloomberg must get into the dirt and play this stupid little fucking childish game with little orange child Trump to rattle him and get him off his game and possibly to get his narcissistic brain to short circuit.

drive Trump nuts. He's probably pacing the darkened halls of the WH living quarters even now, sleepless, dwelling on Bloomberg's taunts.

Which is just in a karmic sense, since we have often lost sleep because of his horrible actions.

The Republicans and their allies the Russians have used some sophisticated psy-ops techniques to cheat Trump into office, and then demoralize us with his disgusting antics while covering for the Republican Senate to rubber stamp hundreds of federal judges.

I'd say turnabout on Trump with these techniques is right on.
