I could assassinate DJT in any number of ways, and never be blamed for it. Each of my assassination plots would be designed to weaken and confuse the MAGA folk and steer the political narrative in exactly the direction I set for it.

But I would NOT assassinate DJT. I would exploit his fame and influence for my agenda.

My first step would be to wear him down mercilessly with unjust lawfare. Countless harassment lawsuits. Countless run-ins with lawless judges who would bully him into exhaustion. The frivolous cases would carry the very real threat of taking away his financial empire and forcing him into prison until he was 89 years old. Yes, we would make provision for a Secret Service detail to operate near his cell, but prison is prison. It’s lonely. No more Trump rallies. No more flatterers in the executive suite.

Yes, he has been characteristically defiant of all the injustice. He has punched a few bullies in the nose. For now, the lawsuits and mugshots strengthen his base support, even with Blacks and Hispanics and Zoomers. All the better for my overall plan.

But today, finally, the endless subpoenas are wearing him down. It’s almost time to act.

At his weakest point I would step in for the art of the deal. A very simple deal: I would throw all my influence behind him to give him a landslide victory mandate in the November election. Guaranteed. I would also tell the unjust courts to back off.

What does he give me in return? Two very simple things. My choice for (a Deep State) VP, and my choice for (a Deep State) Chief of Staff, who will guide him in personnel and daily policy decisions.

In this way all my policies would be championed by a popular, aggressive personality, who will not be suspected of being a compromised, “insider,” puppet politician. MAGA folks would be on my side and never suspect it.

Conclusion:
If you see DJT choosing a deeply establishment someone like Tim Scott for VP, or Susan Wiles for Chief of Staff, you might well wonder if he accepted my offer to make his life easier, and my promises to support him as the next president. And support him I would. With all the assets of the Deep State. Until, of course, as president, he breached the terms of the deal. Then the VP is my instantaneous remedy. My convenient insurance policy.
