It's actually quite fun to watch when you understand what Trump is doing.

The truth is so much simpler, he's an adult acting like a petulant 6 year old brat.

The media is always going to put out fake news about Trump, his team is the one's controlling what fake news the media is now putting out.

The media gets all geared up to push their narrative about a given issue, spend time, money, and resources, just to have the rug pulled out from under them as Trump announces the prior report wasn't correct.

It's a brilliant strategy, and has been working very well.

To what purpose and why would he be "keeping the media off balance"?

Why would he risk destabilizing the stock market?

Why would he change direction so often?

Why would he want to earn the disrespect and distrust of most of the world?

These are all points made in this article. What is the benefit to the American people and the county as a whole?

What is the benefit of having the world (cats) going crazy and in turmoil?

Why be so disruptive?

What is the positive?

Why is this smart?

Whatever one may think of him he is one of the most consummate con artists in American political history with a following of diehard lemmings who will support him irregardless of what he does. Welcome to the American political circus. And the show isn’t over yet.

Breeding of course is one of those thinly veiled racial slurs that excites some of Trump’s meanest most despicable base into orgasms of white supremacy outrage. And it’s working.

The world learns to ignore Trump
Syria didn't ignore him.
They cleared out the buildings in question.

Libs can't ignore him. But that's the problem with Libs.

Americans can't be bothered to find out what is going on in other countries and even when it comes to our own country, all too many get their "info" from strongly partisan sources such as Fox and InfoWars.

Since I am half Swiss, I follow the news in that neutral country's major news sources which are pretty much non-partisan as far as the US is concerned. You wanna know what Europe and Switzerland thinks about Trump? (yawn)

Trump's statements are given little to no credence and Europe makes its most important decisions without any regard for Trump's latest Tweet de jour. Every now and then he's good for a few laughs, but that's about it.

Trump is a liar who changes his mind more often than he changes hookers.

The US has become an international laughing stock. It will take a very long time to undo the diplomatic damage Trump has wrecked upon our connections with our allies and every other country on the planet.

He isn't changing direction, he has been consistently saying for the last 30 years that he was going to be doing all these things if he were president.

There are those that can read Trump, and those that can't. The people that can read him are never stressed, no matter what the media is reporting.

Disregard what the media is telling you Trump is doing, and look at what Trump is actually doing, and it becomes much easier to read him.

Or, just continue chasing the laser, it's no skin off my nose.
