Heh. Yes, Trump has an interesting "skill" of saying things, and sometimes you aren't sure whether he's right or whether he's blowing snow to hide where the administration is going. He seems to do both, depending on the needs of the moment. 

I would prefer he do the first (tell the truth when it plays into the US' hands) and NOT do the latter so often. I can understand there is a need to protect information and answer questions without looking like we're hiding stuff, but I think the back and forth makes it very hard to people to realize that he's not just changing his mind every five minutes. Maybe that's useful with our enemies, but for our allies (or purported allies) it's very disconcerting.
