On Trump and Constraints
(draft) He's been teaching a masterclass on shattering constraints.
Trump and Constraints:
- Shattering constraints, like the Overton Window
- Leveraging constraints, like mainstream media's inability to turn off cameras
- Trump as the least constrained politician in ages
- Nobody (and no law) has been able to constrain Trump
- Trump may have fashioned his own constraints
This is a companion piece to Trump Through the Trust Lens. It also pairs well with these videos about Trump and his strategies, which I posted in 2020.
This is part of a series on The Dark Side of Rethinking Constraints.
