Welcome to Game Theory. I'm Sean Morgan, and I am the host of Making Sense of the Madness on American Media Parascope.com. I'm here with Burning Bright. This is the second episode of Game Theory. And it's an interesting day. We had the announcement of an announcement yesterday. Supposedly something big was going to happen. We had Michael Flynn talking about, hey, wouldn't be a great

thing if Trump was Speaker of the House. Many people getting their expectations up thinking,

hey, could this be the announcement? However, Burning Bright, we just found out the real announcement.

Did you get a good laugh when that happened? Yep. And I think a lot of us that are kind of veterans of whatever

the last time he did this made an announcement for an announcement, got everyone's hopes up. And then he just

had a regular press conference at Mar-a-Lago that he's going to be announcing his candidacy, which everyone

pretty much already knew. And people felt the same exact way as they feel now all let down because their expectations

were so high because Trump did pump it up.

He was like, oh, this is going to be historic and all this stuff.

And then interestingly, the deep state pulled a major move.

I think he baited them because that's when Ukraine, you know, sent a missile into Poland.

And Poland, you know, rallied their security councils, like, ready to go under World War III.

And everyone, including the mainstream media, jumped on it and blamed Russia hastily, all perhaps because Trump said that he's going to make
