No. The man has communicated almost exclusively in hyperbole since the minute he got off the escalator.This is a question for everyone, that needs to be answered HONESTLY. Regardless of your political ideology or who you voted for.
His supporters know this, and this is where the phrase "take him seriously but not literally" comes from. They gave up trying to defend him.
All you can do is look for clues within the hyperbole as to his opinions and intentions.
Not a good situation when dealing with the most powerful person on the planet, but it is what it is.
.
Describing it as simple hyperbole is being generous. It's not as innocuous as you make it sound. This behavior undermines the confidence in, creates dysfunction and damages the effectiveness of our govt.
Ultimately, this crap will become untenable for the admin as Congress will be forced to act. That would be an epic and historic failure for no good reason other than humoring a lunatic.
Trump has destroyed his relationship with his own staff. Even they are getting tired of surrendering their own credibility
Trump has destroyed his relationship with Congress...They are hanging him out to dry on this one
Trump has destroyed our relationship with our allies....They do not trust what he says and do not accept his leadership
Trump has destroyed his relationship with the American public....Do not take what I say literally
