Anything is possible with Donald Trump. He is constantly unpredictable. He is always going against the political grain. Marching to his own drummer. Making up his own rules as he goes along and then not following his own rules.
But underneath the bombast and blarney, Trump is a clear-eyed, cold-hearted, calculating realist.
He knows that his strengths are his acute political instincts. He has an innate ability to perceive “the big picture”, but “a big picture” that is usually a very different picture than is often portrayed by the mainstream media.
