RattlerGator Report: April 4, 2025 – Gator Glory, Dunbar’s Mask & Trump’s Sun Tzu Strategy

J.B. White checks in from Nashville with a special Friday edition of the RattlerGator Report, packed with SEC pride, poetic reflections, and deep geopolitical insight. He opens with a tribute to Jon Herold and the Badlands team, shares tales from the meetup, and declares it “Mighty Gator Weekend” as Florida heads into the Final Four.

The episode features a powerful double reading of Paul Laurence Dunbar’s We Wear the Mask by J.B., as a lens to explore the psychological and strategic battle facing America. J.B. draws a vivid line from Dunbar’s words to Donald Trump’s mastery of perception, camouflage, and narrative warfare, invoking Sun Tzu and Proverbs to explain 45’s global power moves.

From dollar dominance and the new tariff structure to mask metaphors and cultural reflection, this is classic RattlerGator: wise, witty, and unapologetically American.
