But I believe he would be more effective if he paused before speaking.
suggests you do not understand POTUS operating style.
There is no off the cuff going on. The statements which seem a little over the top are meant to, for many reasons: to get people talking about the topic, to get people thinking and to break up the frozen, socially acceptable consensus so that problems can be defined and solutions found. In short President Trump is using spelling mistakes, exaggerations for effect, and shock value to get the public dialog going and going where he wants it to go.
President Trump is in many ways a practitioner of the Art of the Deal. He has no reluctance to look a little stupid if that puts the other side off guard and gets him leverage. He is using the whole schtik to get the deep state & MSM tied up & exposed, to educate the public, to distract so that he can get legislation & judges in place. Don't be fooled into thinking that he is brash and slapdash. He has been planning how to win this battle against a crowded field of America's enemies (internal & external) for 30 years.
“Don’t be fooled into thinking that he is brash and slapdash. He has been planning how to win this battle against a crowded field of America’s enemies (internal & external) for 30 years.”
Very true.
President Trump reminds me of General George Patton.
While most men were training to be officers Patton was training to be a warrior. He would often offer thoughts that others thought flippant or brash. Truth was Patton has studied war all his life. The books in his home library, all about war, battles and leaders, were liberally sprinkled with handwritten notes on the margins.
He didn’t have to think or study once battle was joined, he knew the answers from his study of the history of war.
Donald Trump didn’t just study business, he learned the ins and outs of business. The macro and micro and what effects policies have downstream.
He also knows how to handle people, how to get them off their game.
He has been around enough politicians to know what venal and shallow people most of them are.
His entire life has led him to this point.
Ah, 89D chess!
I think President Trump is an amazingly successful president who takes the occasional misstep.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
