Visual Politik always falls for Trump's bluffs hook, line, and sinker. His strategy is to play both sides. He tells allies to meet their defense agreements, or he might cut them off, and then he turns around and tells his enemies that he might just start an open war with them. It's the fact that everybody thinks he is volatile enough to do either that makes allies feel unsafe and enemies feel unsure. He might be a paper tiger, but nobody is willing to call his bluff. It certainly works better than letting your enemies think you won't do anything and your allies think you will, and then waiting till conflict has already broken out to provide military aid.
