    Colonel Graff:

    Tell me why you kept on kicking him. You had already won.

    Ender Wiggin:

    Knocking him down won the first fight. I wanted to win all the next ones, too. So they’d leave me alone.

      This is Trump’s strategy too. Make a brutal enough example of a few universities, or law firms, or immigrants, or other countries’ economies, and the rest will comply in advance. Like Trump said in his West Point commencement speech recently: "As much as you wanna fight, I’d rather do it without having to fight. I just wanna look at them and have them fold.”

      Reminder: Ender Wiggin is not a fucking hero.
