Well, Trump has been doing 180 turns on foreign policy so often it’s given me whiplash. Tomorrow he may say something entirely different. I hope he will this time, actually.
Let me suggest something to address your whiplash.
There's a) Policy, b) Strategy, and c) Tactics.
I think Trump's policy has been constant: "We win, they lose".
His strategy is his approach to that policy, and it's been pretty consistent: "Get them to do what we want them to do".
His tactics are how he implements his strategy. Those tactics can change, even daily -- that's how "tactics" are categorically different from "strategy" or "policy". So if the tactics seem somewhat chaotic, well, that's sometimes necessary. They need to adapt to changing circumstances.
I hope that helps.
