Trump's power of chaos

Don Surber discovered Thomas Wictor and uses Wictor's explanation of Trump nominating General John Abizaid for Saudi ambassador. If there were proof that Mohammed bin Salman ordered Khashoggi murder then Abizaid would not have taken the job. Also Trump appointed Zalmay Khalilzad Special Representative to Afghanistan two months ago. Abizaid is Arab and Khalilzad is Afghan. They both know the cultures and can avoid the pitfalls. Along with the success of Ambassador Richard Grenell in Germany make for three great stories that nobody who reads the papers would know about and that is part of the plan.

After referencing Limbaugh's characterization of media as cats and Trump with a laser having our antithetic media chasing their tails (I wish he had written bashing into the walls) and citing Melania firing Mira Ricardel who then takes up elsewhere in the administration, and after discussing General Michael Flynn, Surber cites Sun Tzu and The Art of War.
Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline, simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness postulates strength. 
Hiding order beneath the cloak of disorder is simply a question of subdivision; concealing courage under a show of timidity presupposes a fund of latent energy; masking strength with weakness is to be effected by tactical dispositions.

Trump hits a clinker every once in a while, but, mostly, he knows what he's doing.
