Maybe-Maybe-Not Policy

To be fair to Donald Trump, let's pretend that he is a legitimate President. He ran on the promise to change what he believed are errant policies. Some are domestic, and others are foreign.

In dealing with everyone, his approach begins with verbal confrontation and assault followed by contradictions that he would have one believe it is a purposeful tactic.

  1. Pick a fight
  2. Sew confusion
  3. Stimulate chaos
  4. Make definite statements
  5. Change your mind
  6. Offer caveats such as 'Maybe or maybe not.'

You select the issue and policy; Trump will give you 'Maybe-or-maybe-not' policy.

Here is confirmation from the GOP that has a penchant for stepping on its member.
"Breaking News From GOP Insider Brief 
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow warns that the United States might be forced to impose President Donald Trump's threatened trade tariffs on China before actual talks with Beijing occur. 
"I think what's going to happen is we are going to have negotiations at some point. There may be tariffs before, maybe not. We shouldn't panic," Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, said on CNBC."
