Agree!
I think you are quite right. Trump’s success I believe is in large part due to his ability to think faster than his opponents.
Establishment politicians and the media are not used to being proactive. Both entities are slow, reactive institutions who continually navel-gaze to figure out how to frame events.
By the time they have developed some way to react to something Trump has done, he has already moved on to the next thing.
I agree with you.
I find it easy to ignore the pundits and critics (on both sides); I do not perceive what he says and does as chaotic.
You are part of a growing group here on FR that recognize the effect of expedited decision-making as being key to success because opposition cannot form fast enough to get ahead of events. The thing is that this recognition is limited because it requires a certain type of mindset and experience. Your screen name gives yours away: engineer. Others with similar skills are military (especially pilots), people with process and systems management skills, market innovators, etc. Trump is in the last group and has shown it in countless ways but the plodders in conventional politics and media don’t understand how it works. I pray it remains so for at least the next 4 years and that Pence is taking copious notes.
