There was a very corrupt conservative leader of Queensland in the second half of the 20th century named Joh Bielke-Peterson who stayed in power for nearly 30 years. When he would be getting ready to talk with the press he would tell his staff, "time to feed the chooks." Trump reminds me of him very much.
LOL, weboflife, in the case of Mr. Trump, he's overfeeding them chickens, feeding them so much that maybe they are going to explode! Every day a conference at the Oval Office, explaining things and facts and the evolution of government, that's called transparency!!
My view is that Mr. Trump is playing the part of a benevolent king, in his eyes he has been saved by death, by the hands of God, so he feels a duty to give it back to the nation. He feels invested, feels he has a mission, and is surely going to do his best, in his own weird way.
Of course, benevolence does not mean competence, hopefully, he's going to listen to the right competent people and not merely to yesmen. Again, and I share your worries, the tariffs issue seems tricky, a global commercial war may damage everyone, America included.
But this is what's good in the cosmic film, you don't know where the plot will lead, we can make hypotheses but no one can predict exactly the outcome.
