I agree, it makes a lot more sense because the strategy is dynamic and borne from operational realities. In other words, there isn't a need to believe Trump had an ultimate strategy from the start and that the mistakes made were actually initial moves in a larger scheme, but rather it is apparent that Trump grabbed hold of the levers and began pulling us out of the dive using his experience and savvy. That is a lot more believable and accounts for the "bumbling" period of time to the eventual "mastery" of controls we seem to be seeing now.
Well said.
