The Book of Trump Chapter. 14: Maneuver Warfare, Trump’s Strategy, and the Future of Conflict

In The Book of Trump Chapter 14, Ghost welcomes retired Lt. Colonel Oakland McCulloch for a masterclass on maneuver warfare and how its principles apply to today's geopolitical battles. They explore the history and evolution of maneuver warfare from its roots in the Austro-Prussian War to modern applications on the psychological battlefield. Oak breaks down how decentralized command, mission intent, and rapid decision-making cycles, the famed OODA loop, revolutionized military strategy and why Donald Trump has mastered these tactics politically.

The conversation spans from tank warfare and battlefield deception to fifth-generation narrative warfare, with insights into how Trump’s strategic patience and unpredictability mirror classical military doctrine. They also discuss the economic and political restructuring underway in Africa, the collapse of old-world alliances like NATO, the obsolescence of aircraft carriers, and the revolutionary impact of drone and cyber warfare. This episode is an essential deep dive into understanding the modern battlefield, both kinetic and informational, and why maneuvering faster than the enemy is more critical than ever.
