If someone seems weird I take that as a sign they may be playing a higher level game.
Just a reminder that “higher level”, despite being a local applause light, doesn’t necessarily imply “good”.
For example, having BLM people interrupt Sanders’ meetings was a higher level game by Clinton. Doesn’t mean it was good for the voters, and it even failed to be good for her own victory (although the last part may not apply to some parallel Everett branches, maybe even the majority of them).
Similarly, Trump may also be playing a higher level game which will backfire; except that it will happen after the election. (The hypothetised WW3 scenario would be a most dramatic example; it will probably be something less dramatic.)
Going back meta: playing the game on a higher level doesn’t imply you are not making mistakes, such as getting short-term gains along with greater long-term losses; it just means that you are doing it on a different level.

Indeed. But that was not my point. I was arguing that Trump does not seem to be stupid.
