The Optical Trumplusion: How The Puppetmaster Attempts To Gaslight Others Into Thinking That He's the Puppet

Notice:

1. How the spotlight goes under the curtain and shines onto the purported puppetmaster. Wouldn't the spotlight usually be on the puppet, though? Notice, though, that the spotlight is on whomever or whatever the focus is, or at least not on whatever is being hidden.
2. How the strings go under the curtain and are wrapped around the purported puppetmaster and then come back out from behind the curtain.
3. How the spotlight is set to make the curtain transparent enough that the purported puppetmaster can be seen as he's purportedly controlling a puppet.

Trump (whose name I normally censor) has created what I call an optical Trumplusion for the willfully ignorant: he has put the spotlight on Putin to make him look like he's the puppetmaster when Putin is in fact the puppet. After all, as I've said before:

1. Trump has had a history of never playing puppet.
2. He has also had a history of throwing others—including the Clintons—under the bus once he sees them as useless. 
3. Putin needed a Trump Tower in Moscow more than Trump needed one, since the U.S.' economy was better than Russia's economy and the Trump brand was an international brand. Keep in mind that (according to the tape of the press conference that is circulating) this was in 2013 and the Trump brand is likely to not be even a New York brand once Special Counselor Mueller indicts Trump.
4. Trump is playing Putin like Ribbentrop played Molotov¹.

In conclusion, then, a history-informed careful observer will notice how Trump the purported puppet is using spotlights that he is shining under the curtain to take the focus off of himself and make Putin the puppet look like Putin the curiously-visible puppetmaster. 

¹ By the way, even though Stalin even had his own equivalent of the Nazis' Final Solution" plan, ****** was worse than Stalin merely by the fact that his Anti Semitism was the worst kind of Anti Semitism. Unfortunately, he was a self-hating Jew—as his father was the son of Leopold Frankenberger, as DNA testing confirmed. I understand the attempted backtracking of the researchers, by the way. Nonetheless, people have to acknowledge uncomfortable truths such as the fact one of the worst enemies of Israel arose from among Israel and was far worse than a run-of-the-mill gentile Anti Semite like Stalin. After all, self-targeting bigotry affects far more havoc to be wreaked than standard bigotry does. 

If one needs another example, look at someone else who could very much be compared to Trump and was part of another ethnic group that Trump hates: J. Edgar Hoover, whom was apparently an African American.
