He is very good at this and his bluster disguises a subtlety and mastery of the both direct and indirect approaches that leaves one in awe. He can out nuance the Obama clowns any day of the week but his true talent is cutting through subtle and nuanced problems like Alexander the Great cut through the Gordian Knot to solve long standing problems deemed insolvable by the self professed, so called experts
He is not subtle when it is time to stop being subtle . The same can be said about an American aircraft carrier or missile submarine.
Most importantly, President Trump has an instinct to realize at what level a problem needs to be solved at and he is capable of working problems at levels most people do not even realize exist
Best part is that part of his diplomacy involves driving leftards and the MSM nuts so they run around shrieking that he’s starting WW III, and the adversary, in this case Iran, tailors their message to appeal to the leftards, and Trump makes it clear he doesn’t care, it’s him they have to deal with, and he won’t be nice. It worked with Korea, China, Mexico and now Iran. Classic good cop/bad cop, with the additional benefit that “good cop” is unaware that he’s being played for a sucker. Benefit is ours, because it’s funny as hell to watch. Ilhan got PTSD:E) Priceless.
