Trump doesn’t play chess.
He plays checkers.
Against pigeons.
Pigeons that can only shit all over the board.
He still loses. Because he is in fact, that dumb.

I’d compare it to a pigeon playing chess, but that would insult the pigeons.
A rabid, STI ridden lab chimp with a fragile ego playing chess might be a better comparison.
Yeah but who would Trump be playing against?
I don't think anyone, anywhere (except for the paid lackeys/courtiers on Bullshit Mountain) was ever going to make the claim that donnie dumbass has ever played 5 dimensional chess in any context whatsoever.
I expect Gary Kasparov, who wrote the article, to have tried
is flipping the table a strong first move? Debatable.
He didn't flip the table, he grabbed the King and ran off to try to throw it in the trash can
The board hasn't actually changed much
Won't matter. The media is lining up to sick his duck.
5d chess? Trump couldn't play chess on a straight line.
On a straight line? Like 1d chess?
That would only work for like 2-3 pieces
Why are we inflating dimensions? 3D chess was already challenging for the smartest Federation citizens, so 4D chess is already well beyond that of future sci-fi. Do we really need a fifth D? When will it end!?
Can't capture the pieces if they are eaten
