Think mink
Thinking about the Salish prank on Chinese tycoons.
Most tribes have a set of Trickster stories. The Salish trickster is Mink, an arrogant fellow who thinks he can get away with breaking Natural Law. Nature tries to instruct him but he never learns.
In this case China is Mink, and the Salish arranged things so Mink would bump into his own limits.
We no longer tell trickster stories, just as we no longer have TV or radio shows depicting rackets and scammers. The racketeers are in charge, so we can't hear stories that might help us understand them.
Trump's secret is that he understands tricksters because he is one. He arranges things so the Minks of the media and the RNC are constantly bumping into Nature's limits, constantly showing their arrogance and stupidity for all to see.
