I'm inclined to give the guy slightly more credit. I do think that he talks off the cuff more than most politicians we are used to. I also think that he works from strategy as opposed to pre-planning everything.
This is not that I agree with everything he does. I'm saying the guy is human, impulsive, narcissistic as well as capable of being charismatic and joking. The tariff bombs were likely about negotiation from strength from the beginning.
- duxup 1y agoI think most everything is from the perspective of negotiating, but it's leverage to benefit himself. I think that's the only constant. I'm not inclined to buy into the "he talks off the cuff" much anymore. Big tech bad, until it does his bidding and so on is the pattern. America first, unless he gets a real-estate deal somewhere. "Off the cuff" is just cover for dishonesty / not answering difficult to answer questions. Then when he is honest about taking a bribe, or sexually assaulting somebody, “oh he is just talking”.
