But, I do not know that it was "meant" to do that, from Trump's rancid point of view. Rather, I think, it was simply meant to make him KING OF THE HILL, FOREVER. He does not have the capacity to think in the manner you suggest. Bannon's aim, imho, was to sew doubt, perhaps undermine faith, for personal gain, to just to fuck with the system for shits and giggles. Trump, who probably never expected to win, in 2016, and was just milking the system for all the money he could suck in, had no more sophisticated agenda. Remember how he was silent for the first few hours after he was declared the winner? He was probably of in his "counting house" counting all his gold, and caught completely by surprise that the fools,with help from Putin, elected him.

@nogod4me “The person who thinks he has found the ultimate truth is wrong. There is an often quoted verse, in Sanskrit which appears in the Chinese Tao-te Ching as well ’He who thinks he knows doesn’t know. He who knows he doesn’t know, knows. For in this context, to know is not to know. And not to know is to know.” Joseph Campbell "Extreme claims require extreme proof." Carl Sagan I do not see DD's posts, here, but it maybe worth mentioning that different people have different definitions of "proof," some of which are utterly vacuous. A "proof" needs to be based on empirical evidence, which can be found in repeated tests thereof, by a variety of legitimate researchers. And, it must be capable of being falsified. If it can not be tested in this manner, it is unverifiable, and hence, no proof. This is, directly, why the existence, or lack thereof, of a god, can not be proved. This is why physicists continue to test Einstein's claims, as scientific technology advances. Gravity waves have been found; black holes have been found; the bending of light by massive objects has been verified, and on, and on. The same is true of Evolution.

Yeah, since they initially chose to be on his team, they can't be all that brilliant, unless...they somehow, and still blindly, thought the publicity would be good for their future careers.

Nice catch. A red headed woodpecker doesn’t have a crest. That looks like a Piliated Woodpecker. Big and flys like you would think a pterodactyl would fly. So much fun to see!
