‘Trump has spent weeks rollicking from message to message on energy, false and otherwise. Those include exaggerating his own efforts to block construction of a Russian natural gas pipeline in Europe, as well as offering what analysts call a massively inflated claim about how much his policies could have boosted the United States’ already world-leading oil production.
Trump’s constant ping-ponging has shown up in his rallies, his speech on economic policy last week in New York, and Tuesday’s prime-time debate with Harris. At the debate, his flurry of messages took time away from what should have been his main focus on energy, said longtime Republican campaign strategist David Kochel, who is not advising the Trump campaign.
“It’s almost incoherent,” Kochel said. “In the debate, he was clearly flustered. It’s very difficult for him to actually prosecute a single strategy. He was just all over the place.”
An oil industry lawyer agreed, saying Trump’s discussion of energy was “meme level.”’
This is what happens when you have a presidential candidate with only ‘concepts’ of policy; someone lacking the mental acumen to articulate the most basic policy positions and stay on that message.
