Ah, 89D chess!
I think President Trump is an amazingly successful president who takes the occasional misstep.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Perhaps.
But past results suggest there is a method to the madness. We have seen it play out over and over. POTUS draws out his critics by a seemingly inaccurate statement and lo & behold in the next few days not only was he correct but deep state machinations have been exposed. If we are lucky a few enemies have retired in disgrace.
POTUS is a world class troll and his opponents have the scars to prove it.
