So are you SERIOUSLY saying that Trump does not mean what he says?
Are you the great Sage who will interpret Trump for the rest of us?
If it’s in reference to things like labeling China a currency manipulator yes, he does not mean that no matter what happens he will label China a currency manipulator. Trump is results oriented. If he’s getting the result he wants, if he sees the change he wants to see, he will adapt to the new reality.
That is what successful strategic thinkers do. Not adjusting to results would be stupid. Trump is not stupid.
I watched Trump since 2011 when he was thinking about running. The way he works is so different from traditional status quo politicians, his strategic goal oriented approach is something we have never seen at the presidential level. That’s why so many don’t get it.
BTW he effectively labeled China a currency manipulator long ago. He meant what he said. He unquestionably got results.
What more, exactly, are people who are mad “Trump won’t label China a currency manipulator, he went back on a campaign promise” looking for??
This is why I’ve coined the label “absolutists”. They are people who, among other things, take Trump literally, i.e. expect him to “label China a Currency manipulator” no matter what happens. Like it’s an absolute set in stone that under no circumstances can be changed. That is foolish. Situations change, Trump adapts. Why would anyone want Trump to not adapt like so many other politicians do? Like Mitch McConnel on election night thinking the republicans were going to lose the presidency, the house and the senate. That’s an example of rigid non-strategic, non-adaptive thinking.
Seems to be a lot easier to assertain what the President said and means
than what beck said and means
very SERIOUSLY
