Wonderful question. Like all effective oligarchs, Trump is a master of uncertainty. The strategies he employs are the same ones we documented in the book that Valentina Rodríguez Guerra and I wrote: The Oligarchs' Grip. Specifically, he is entrepreneurial, he employs a friends with benefits approach to alliances, he has waited for his main chances, and he is secretive and stealthy, hiding in plain sight. Despite all that has been written about Trump, we still don't fully grasp what he's all about and why his wealth and power have remained relatively robust since 2016 at least.
Anyone--oligarch or not--can apply these strategies to gain greater control over uncertainty.
Could you be more specific in terms of your final comment, "But, as we said in our book, Trump is a master oligarch. Put aside your feelings and learn from him."?

Hope that is useful!
