TRUMP'S GAME

Having assembled a cabinet of blind loyalists he is eager to leave a lasting impact in American history as the man who waded into conflict zones and brokered several ceasefires as he claims with an eye on the Nobel Peace Prize

What would be the game like of a real estate dealer turned power broker turned part time actor who grew up on the mean streets of New York in the nasty and brutish sixties and seventies, I had always wondered, until I saw the man in a docu movie of his early days some time back and understood how pompous and arrogant his mindset has been from his excessive dalliance with wealth.

He has carried that to his mature days when even rolling in luxury, he has mastered that mean and vindictive mindset. This he perfected by jumping on to the political bandwagon, buying off a Republican nomination and manipulating his way into the highest seat of the land in 2016. Surrounded by a battery of lawyers and moving between the costliest law offices of America, he has hired attorneys quick to take up his cases on financial embezzlement, sedition and sexual exploitation with felicity for which he has kept aside enormous funds. How then does one account for a man, twice impeached and held up for multiple cases of embezzlement and battery, incited mass violence in the highest seat of legislation, make a spectacular comeback to the same office four years later.
