Art of smoke

My last post was on the odd business where prominent democrats claim a deal was made with Trump on Daca and to not build the Mexican-American wall - something mr T immediately denied, or did he really?
Mr Trumps words are an oddity never before seen on this level, at least in 30 odd years.
It seems they are either blunt lies underlined and repeated and thus clad in truth looking attributes. A little like the father that explains why he can eat candy on a Monday when the six year old can't. We somehow accept not the lie as truth but as something we can't change.
Or his words are carefully selected and put out in a way that can easily be Interpreted in several ways. This might just be his genius: he will say things that to me sound biased but for somebody else, i.e. his supporters sounds like mere facts.

Look at the North Korea showdown where it seems Trump is upping the stakes and increasing his level of threats but is he really? What concrete evidence is there that he is prepared to actually intervene militarily?
Compare to mr Kim's acutual named targets of Guam and now Japan Trumps threat are very vague and possibly just another smoke screen ment to show him as an action packed guy with guns he's not afraid to use. But actually he isn't at all ready to use guns at all. Rest assured the situation will be unloaded in a quite undramatic way, via China and possibly Russia. What Trump wants to say is: Hey I wanted to 'kill the Kim' but those other guys wanted to negotiate and after all it's their back yard.

Carefully study the words and timing of mr Trump. He will make exceptions (possibly after a couple of double scotches, late at night) but his art is almost saying what we want to hear him say, no matter if we are liberal or conservatives.
