timeletsProf Kotkin:
Well, now it looks like Trump's whole grand strategy for the presidency, both inside and outside the country, is just to do the opposite of either what Biden actually did or whatever his entourage gets him to believe what Biden did.
So I asked HR [McMaster], I said, what is it about Trump? Tell me, I mean, you were there in the room with him all the time. What's the deal with Trump? And so HR said to me, contrarian. Yeah, contrarian. You tell him that Obama did this, Trump says, "All right, we're doing the opposite," even if Obama didn't do it.
