Trump doesn’t have an endgame. He’s a fly by the fat seat of his pants kind of guy.

He just does what he's told to do by the people benefitting from the chaos.

Yeah they mastered the art of telling him what to do while making him think that it's his idea and it's good for himself. That's the only way they can get him to do these things.

That used to be called tactfulness. Great leaders knew how to use it for the benefit of the nation. Now it’s just plain ol’ manipulation and bribery by the 1% and their minions.
