Dither

The one thing you can say about Donald Trump is his opinions, ideas, and plans will be reversed within minutes. Although sometimes it might be days. These changes apply to both domestic and foreign affairs.

It’s called dithering or indecisive behavior.

The latest is his decision to end the coronavirus task force. Yesterday his plan was to ‘wind down’ the force by May 30. Today Trump, reverses course and says coronavirus task force will continue ‘indefinitely.’

As recently as the end of March Trump praised Chinese leader Xi Jinping on his handling of the growing coronavirus outbreak. On March 3 Trump said “He’s now president for life, president for life. And he’s great,” “And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot someday,” Trump said to cheers and applause from supporters. Now Trump says China’s handling of the coronavirus is part of a plot to make him lose re-election.

At the end of June 2019 Trump announced that Chinese manufacturer Huawei will be able to once again purchase goods from U.S. technology companies.

After a public backlash, President Donald Trump has changed his mind on US immigration after signing a new order ending the controversial family separations at the US border.

Jun 20, 2019 – President Trump reportedly gave the order to bomb Iran in response to its alleged downing of a US drone before eventually changing his mind.
