      Or is it just another example of Trumps “business experience”? Anyone who has worked long enough has experienced “management through terror” where the starting point is being angry on the idea that a terrorized person will scramble to get it done and will do anything to avoid being the target of that anger. Usually you’d have to switch jobs to find a less toxic environment but that may well be a secondary goal here

      An additional “tactic” we’ve seen from Trump repeatedly, is to establish a scapegoat first. Then anytime you change your mind you have a ready target to blame

      Yet another habit we’ve seen from Trump is to set a goal or targets without any regard for reality. Whatever his target, if he has one, was it ever realistic? Has he allocated resources to make it possible?
