leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

this is disgraceful but itβs also notable that theyβre running the exact same playbook that completely failed to beat him in the election and itβs even less effective now that voters can contrast that with Mamdaniβs actual behavior as mayor
