You don’t understand Trump any better than the MSM does.
Make it easy on yourself - don’t pay attention to what he says. Words are negotiating tools, they are used and tossed aside as needed. Pay attention to what he DOES.
Has he done anything that supports all your pearl-clutching? No. He’s accomplished an amazing 60%+ of his agenda in one year.
People who know Trump take him seriously but not literally. People who don’t know Trump take him literally but not seriously. Trust Trump.
That's how I treat liars like Joe Manchin. Are you saying that Donald Trump is a liar?
