ANALYSIS — A tidal wave of presidential words does not policy make.
That was the lesson this past week at the White House, the Capitol and on board Air Force Once, where President Donald Trump got out 35,615 words publicly between Sunday and Thursday, according to CQ Roll Call’s Factba.se. His remarks generated dramatic headlines, heartburn for other world leaders and countless social media posts. But how much did they change all the many things his administration is doing?
Not very much.
