    It’s so fucking obvious. There’s absolutely no other plausible explanation for this shit. Even if you think (correctly) that Trump is dumb as fuck and incapable of planning, people close to him are absolutely nudging him back and forth on this and cleaning up on every move. It’s completely transparent.

      There’s absolutely no other plausible explanation for this shit.

      Declare an attack on everyone, see who is coward enough to bend the knee, “reward” your loyal subjects by hitting them less hard and then “make an example” of anyone who stands defiant.

      There’s pump and dump going on, but this is also basic psychological abuse strategy. That’s another reason for it.
