I’ve seen a lot of people view Trump as being motivated by petty personal grievances, like being mad at not getting a Nobel peace prize. Sometimes it’s ironic, sometimes not.
I think that’s an incorrect analysis. Yes, Trump is arrogant, self-absorbed, and petty, and he acts that way. But he works with a lot of advisors, and his policies are coherent attempts to achieve political goals. The political goals are evil, and the strategy is terrible, but they’re internally coherent.
@janef0421 no, his policies are not coherent. If they were coherent he would have more success, but we have seen that his policies are incoherent.
Day after day he shifts policies to undermine the policy the day before.
And that's the key, from there you would realize that his whole presidency unwinds. He doesn't know what he's doing, he's just getting in headlines.
To find strategy in Trump's BS is to give him more credit than he deserves because, well, if nothing else remember he is a convicted felon because he could not put up a coherent defense in court.
