    I’m still hoping that eventually the trump card in a hand will be the worst card you can get. So far it just helps you win for being lucky, except I guess that sort of fits for him too. Just shouldn’t be a positive thing since he’s a well of grievances, like festivus year round.

      I wonder if this will be seen as being something like the “race card”. Oh, there he goes, pulling the “Trump card”.

          Especially if it’s “playing the victim in a way that you win”. In card games, a “trump card” does sort-of feel like winning by cheating. You have a card that normally wouldn’t win a hand, but somehow magically has a special value that allows you to win. That does feel a lot like a guy who keeps on “winning” or at least avoiding the consequences anybody else would have to face just because of who he is.
