As well as Trump has done in politics considering this is his first time in elected office, we sometimes forget that he still occasionaly has to learn a few things along the way in real-time. But luckily Trump adjusts very quickly in politics the same way he has done throughout his life. Whether it be transitioning into the budding world of reality TV in the 90’s or adapting to social media by becoming a huge Twitter star, Trump has always adapted.

Earlier this year Trump launched a blistering attack on Elizabeth Warren, one that was devastating to her. He trolled her with the now famous “Pocahontus” moniker, one that still sticks to this day. Not only that, his attacks forced her to make a huge blunder by releasing genetic testing showing she was only 1/1064th Native American. She was quickly attacked and lampooned by those on both sides of the political spectrum. It was a perfect example of how quickly Trump can dispatch his enemies.

However, there was one problem and Trump later even admitted it was a problem. He attacked Warren too early. She was able to recover and maintain her Presidential bid where she is currently one of the front runners.







At a campaign rally Trump openly discussed the mistake with his supporters, admitting that he “went too early” and she had time to recover as the scandal blew over. Although he did also state he would be able to bring it back and renew the attacks on Warren and her lies about her heritage, he admitted the timing was wrong.

This is a key point because it shows how Trump was learning the nuance of timing when it comes to politics and the news cycles. He quickly made note of a small error and now was even more prepared when he had to take on other challengers and political enemies.

All of this brings me to the current situation with Attorney General Bill Barr’s inquiry into the FBI spying scandal. Trump understands that this is his most damaging weapon in his arsenal against the deep state plot against him. And based on what he learned about timing, he doesn’t want this to unfold too early or it will give his enemies time to counter the attacks and spin a new narrative.

This may very well be why he had no issue waiting for the IG report to come out first. The perfect time for Barr’s and Durham’s investigation to wrap up and be released is the summer of 2020. This will provide the most devastating damage as well as not give the story time to be washed away by the daily news cycles before November.

If Barr and Durham were to rush the outcome of the investigation, there would be plenty of time for the allegations and truths to be forgotten as the 2020 campaign season heats up. But dropping it later in 2020 will allow Trump and his surrogates to use the findings as talking points straight through to the election.







I know Trump supporters are running out of patience when it comes to holding those responsible for the Russia hoax accountable. Believe me, I’m one of them. But I see a strategy at play here and I believe it is a sound one and one that has been informed by Trump’s own experiences. Don’t waste all your bullets too early or your enemies can recover and mount another offensive. I believe this is exactly what Trump has learned from the Warren interaction and why he’s in no hurry to see the results of Durham’s investigation until at least the spring of 2020 at the earliest.

Of course Trump has no direct control over when Barr and Durham finish their investigation, but I also believe he is in no rush either based on what I’ve outlined above. Supporters may be growing a bit impatient, but I believe the longer it takes the better the chances of the revelations having the most impact during the crucial 2020 election.
