This is Trump& #39;s idea of how to governhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigender Pfeil mit Krümmung nach unten">

That, and create chaos and spectacle, making sure he keeps his opponents riled and his supporters stoked.

It& #39;s the Trump Reality Show, each day.
