It drives the media, Democrats and more than half of America mad, but President Trump's unorthodox, jam-your-opponent style can be effective.
What he's done: He erased NAFTA, as a word, and replaced the trade pact with a different name (the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA) and better terms for America. Sure, he infuriated Canada and Justin Trudeau, but he delivered the goods. (And helped some farm-state candidates just before midterms.)
Show less His tax cut, jammed through last year, continues to juice a red hot economy that has consumers confident, stocks soaring, joblessness sinking. His wild, improvisational press conferences and rallies still grab massive audiences — and drive the media conversation. And his no retreat, no surrender approach has helped Brett Kavanaugh survive brutal hearings, and put the conservative judge on the cusp of a lifetime Supreme Court seat. The White House says it's as simple as Trump sticking to, and delivering, what he promised — defying low expectations amid chaos and distractions.
A veteran Democratic presidential adviser said that the Trump formula is taking a clear position and driving toward it — making sure everyone knows where he stands, and only focusing on one or two policy goals at a time.
The adviser pointed to the cap on deductibility of state and local taxes — included in Trump's tax-reform plan — as an enviable achievement. "Presidents going back to Ronald Reagan have tried to do this," the Democrat said. "He had the determination and skill to get it done. Clinton didn't. Obama didn't."

I hope the dems don’t take this article seriously.
Cacking my up the way he’s calling out the democrats, one by one for being the losers they are. He was brutal last night...
But there’s a method here. He’s drawing them out. He’s been doing that since day one, not allowing them to hide.
He’s exposing them all to the point now they are proud to air out that they’re flaming socialists.
So, eventually, these people, Schumer, Booker, Tester, Donnelly, Feinstein, etc etc. they will hit back...and then Trump hits back harder because he’s in the right.
On the other hand, they might NOT hit back, then they look like cowards.
The new term USMCA, allows each country to maintain it’s own identity. NAFTA implied a new global enitity called North America.
It also wasn’t as accurate, as the nations below Mexico and above South America (e.g. Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, etc.) are also part of “North America”.
God Bless President Donald trump!!! I have a serious bromance going with this man.

Clearly presented facts? Wow! Axios appears to be bailing on the rest of the Partisan Media Shills, but don't you believe it.
“jam-your-opponent style”
He’s jamming what the Leftists dish out to him back in their faces. If anything, what he does is positively mild compared to what they do. What’s worse: calling someone “low energy” or calling someone a deplorable, irredeemable, racist, sexist Nazi?
