What does ...玩得转 mean? In an opinion piece about recent criticism towards China, Hu Xijin wrote:

再有就是特朗普公开针对中国撒弥天大谎，向中国推卸他们抗疫失败的责任，居然在美国能够玩得转。是什么把美国公众搞得这么好骗，一眼就能看穿的甩锅把戏却有声有色地一集一集表演着，在美国也太容易带节奏了。

It means something like:

Next, we have Trump's public focus on China, saying a pack of lies, shifting to China their epidemic-response failed responsibility, unexpectedly in the USA ... 玩得转 (?).  What caused the USA public to be deceived?  One glimpse and you can see that this pass-the-buck trick is but one dazzling performance after another.  In the USA it's too easy to follow the rhythm.

I don't understand 玩得转, and there's other examples on YouDao, e.g.:

他不一定能在NBA玩得转。
Not sure he can play.
你看，各种黑客我都玩得转。
Because, you see, I do all the hacker stuff.

It might be some kind of Internet slang; there's other such terms in this article.  If I were to guess, I'd say it means &quot;do the rounds&quot;, e.g., in English we might say &quot;this meme is doing the rounds&quot; meaning it is being popularized on the Internet.
Question: What does ...玩得转 mean?
In your example, "玩得转" means "Trump's method is widely accepted in the United States, so his plan was very successful ". 

"玩转" often means "do sth. well" or "understand sth. well"

Example: How to take photographs well(如何玩转摄影)

Let you understand all things about Shanghai well with me(带你玩转上海)

And it is a Internet slang!
