Trump has the ability most great statesmen have had to develop.
He has the ability to be so vauge in his conversations that anyone he talks to walks away thinking Trump agrees with them while Trump just goes ahead and keeps being Trump.
Whatever works...
I have dealt with people like that.
You call it "great statesmanship".
I call it "being dishonest". It's one of the reasons I consider politicians the lowest form of human life. Whores and drug dealers are more honest and honorable.
