Their need to understand is “Trumped” by the President’s need to be effective.

The naivete’ displayed by many politicians, the biased mainstream media, and many of these supposed experts is remarkable.

They accuse President Trump of “sending mixed messages,” “confusing signals,” and of being “inconsistent,” and even “incoherent.”

They obviously have not played poker before, or negotiated a deal before, and if they have they haven’t been very successful at it.

You don’t “show your cards,” then attempt to play your hand…, it’s foolish, although this is how our leadership had been conducting business for quite some time.  When politics and words matter more than actions and results, you tend to operate like that.  When you really want to do what’s right for our country, that mode of operation is unacceptable.

 

“You got to know when to hold ‘em,

Know when to fold ‘em,

Know when to walk away and know when to run,

You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table,

There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealing’s done.

 

Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin’

Is knowin’ what to throw away and knowing what to keep,

Cause every hand’s a winner and every hand’s a loser…”

 

From Kenny Rogers’ “The Gambler”

 

From what I can see, President Trump has turned most of the hands he has been dealt into winners, even though he has been left with some pretty shabby hands to play.
