Not too long ago, being "flexible" was called flip flopping.
What Trump is actually doing is making it up as he goes simply because he doesn't know what he's doing.
So, Trump is going with his "feelings", huh? Gee, then women are faulted for being too emotional!
What a load of crap.
Trump has great instincts, so why would he lock himself into a singular ideology long-term?
Obama does that (tunnel vision) because Obama isn't a natural leader.
Obama led from behind.
Trump is leading from the front, and when you lead from the front you are the game-changer.
Hold it right there ... it takes more than just instinct on key issues, and without good instincts is even worse. Trump run his campaign on marking China as a currency manipulator. How much does he know about currency? Obviously not much: he called his then advisor General Flynn three o'clock in the morning on dollar value:
Quote:
President Donald Trump once called National Security Adviser Mike Flynn at 3 a.m. to ask about the economic impact of a strong US dollar
He is not flexible--simply has no principles or ideology or moral compass, so is easily influenced and manipulated.
He does not listen as he he cannot focus on anything for more than 5 minutes.
His instincts appear to suck. At the time he descended on the golden escalator, he had gone through four bankruptcies and no US banks would loan him money as he is a bad risk and has stiffed so many of his debts.
Before he was President, Trump was asked what his best qualities are, and he said he's a great listener and he's flexible.
So he's living up to that, by listening to his military, listening to his law enforcement, and being flexible with policy.
People trying to pigeonhole him (first claiming he was a puppet of Putin, now claiming he's a Bush-style warmonger) are going to be proven wrong repeatedly, as he makes decisions based on what he feels at the time. Because he's got great instincts (as he's also said before).

Obama has a history of being a person who has integrity and morals. He works within an ethical framework.
He thought of the potential consequences of actions. He lead from intelligence and the best interests of America based on available information. He wasn't perfect, but he was sane, stable, forward looking and knew where he was headed. He wasn't a flip-flopper or a flim-flammer by nature or behavior as is Trump. I, and many others, had a sense that he was making well-thought out, reasoned decisions and that he could be trusted to care what happened to those he was charged to protect and wouldn't carelessly throw us into a volatile or unsound situation. I felt safe on Obama's watch. There is nothing about Trump that gives me a sense of trust or safety. I would be deluding myself to think otherwise.
Trump has a history as a con-artist and a scammer. Ask the majority of people who knew him or knew of him before he ran for prez. He isn't constrained by conscience or ethics. His ego is in charge, so he can ping pong all over the place, wherever his impaired concentration leads. No sweat as long as HE sees a path to look better in the moment. He has no awareness or insight as to whether he's setting landslides in motion to come down on us all. He has no clue how the dominoes will fall. He's a knee-jerker not a forward thinker. Whoever he talked to last with whatever seems like the best idea for HIM at the moment, that's where his limited focus is. He has an unstable temperament and a seriously dysfunctional personality in the assessment of trained mental health professionals. No such appraisal was made of Obama.
Trump ran his businesses into bankruptcy multiple times. And that was when he was supposed to have experience in and a concept of what he was doing. What is the governmental equivalent of that? Whatever it is, I don't want to find out. Can't be good. And Trump, who is up to his earlobes in alligators without a clue (nor does his cabinet beyond making private-sector money), is a risk-taker. Let us not go the way of the Trump Taj Mahal or worse.
You said he's a good listener, is flexible and has good instincts. Good con-artists have all those qualities, but they don't use them in the best interest of those around them. They are focused on themselves and whatever numbers they're running at the moment. And, my, does he ever have them in spades and works assiduously to keep most of them hidden.
Some people admire con-artists, celebrities or big personalities without good underpinnings or sound foundation. They like a cowboy who shoots first and only thinks about what happened based on how it affected HIM. I don't. No shifty leaders on shifting moral sand for me. If you do and you accept Trump's alarming deficiencies, that's what floats your boat. As long as it doesn't sink mine and that of the other American's who have insight. Who see and know better.
(This may be highly enjoyable for you now. DENIAL or simplicity of thought can be a powerful thing for some to avoid looking at reality. But, seasoned intelligence and maturity inform better choices. The things he's entering into now aren't fun and games. If you like fireworks and jarring, unpredictable roller-coaster rides, an amusement park is a wiser choice. You'll see.)

Best if the leader actually understands the game first.
No offense, but there were a bunch of threads saying the same lame compliments about Obama, virtually every one of them being utterly ridiculous. Please don't start sounding like that pro Obama cheerleader.
