http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017- ... n-as-trumpTrump has been in office for just over six months, which I think is long enough to work out some ground rules for his leadership. First of all: be impulsive. It's very, very important to act on every fleeting appetite and sense of slight. Secondly: nothing matters as much as reputation. If someone offends you, double down and keep on doubling until you've folded that flimsy little offense up as thick as the observable universe. Thirdly: do not worry about your outgoings. Donald Trump might be rich, but he isn't exactly a money-maker. Spend, spend, spend. Fourthly: don't be too interested in the game. Maybe play a round of golf between turns, or even during. Fifthly: keep the research interests in character. Yes to construction and guns. No to reading and travel.

Whenever I think of Trump's tribe, I can't help but think of the First Family from The Amtrak Wars - scary!And there's the glamour of monarchy: inherited wealth, and a court full of family members.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Tilley's first novel - Fade-Out - is also a good read.

From what I remember of Civ, Trump couldn't be a bigger @$$#0¦€ than Gandhi. The iconic non-violent resistor throwing nukes around like confetti.
