ANALYSIS — Donald Trump is capping off another week in which he had to qualify many of his bold statements, while keeping his actual policy intentions masked or vague over a tidal wave of presidential words.
The former reality television host has become something of a narrator for his own second term — think a tough-talking, barb-throwing, denial-uttering New York City version of country music star Waylon Jennings’ folksy voiceover work on “The Dukes of Hazzard.”
Even more than his turbulent first term, this one is a made-for-television drama that is heavy on one thing: words. Take this week alone.
