T. Henderson : Trump is a SALESMAN. He's up front on what he's selling, and he'll blow all kinds of smoke to sell it. "This truck has the power of 10 locomotives." And I can't tell you how many times I've seen the opposition in media make concessions they wouldn't, otherwise, without Trump FAR over-stating his case. As long as they can CORRECT what he said, they're more likely to let slip a fact or two on his side. It goes like this:
Trump makes wild claim.
"That's TOTALLY unreadonable. Now, if he'd said 'x' or 'y', then that would be reasonable."
Trump was just trying to get 'x' but he knew if he asked for it, that it would be only 'y'.
If you're not too caught up in the day-to-day, you see the method behind the apparent madness. The fact is that Trump is a better marketer than all who oppose him.
If you're not too caught up in the day-to-day, you also see that under all the smoke and fire, he's been more restrained and stuck to the law and the process, where other recent presidents have been like kids at Christmas, running wild with executive orders that took things beyond what Congress would do. Trump's fired off a kazillion executive orders, but a sizable fraction of them simply reversed previous presidents' end-runs around the legislature. And he's gotten criticized and even sued for doing it, by people who are pissed-off at how easy it was to dismantle so much of Obama's executive-order kingdom.
