I'd like to see Trump win in 2020. Giving the Democrats ammunition to use against him isn't going to make that easy.
If it is your idea to make changes in the way President Trump conducts himself and the business of the country, I can tell you, as someone who did not vote for him in 2016, THAT YOU ARE WRONG.
Trump is not Bush, Nixon, JFK, Abraham Lincoln or ANYONE ELSE. As the book says, “Let Trump Be Trump.” He is a winner.
Now, you on the other hand, do not seem to support his behavior, which, I think is a mistake.
...ammunition to use against him ...

This is Trump. He _could_ play things cautious, but if he did, the progs would interpret it as fear and pile on deeper and harder.
POTUS always stays on offense. He has a reason for doing this. Could be to change the narrative du jour while other, more vital things, occur elsewhere. Could be to agitate them on the theory that an agitated enemy makes mistakes.
Seems Mulvaney was secure and confident, with a twinkle in his eye and short shrift to CNN. This is strategic. I’d bet on it.
