ABSTRACT

Really, what we’re looking for is a game changer. What we’ve found are the conditions under which all games are possible: the powers through which individuals form associations and judge their powers to be more or less the same when it comes down to being stripped naked – after all, what is Trump without his wealth, his Towers and their golden elevators and his body guards? Just another ageing man with a combover. It is the contemporary arrangement of powers that placed him in his Presidency. There is nothing essentially natural about this. Trump alone is not smart enough nor strong enough to do it all himself. There have to be others, combining their powers in a project that enabled him to stand where he stands. In principle, then, powers can always be recombined to produce alternatives. If that is true, then literally, it is a game changer.
