The thing about Trump is that it’s difficult, maybe next to impossible, to believe that he comes up with much of what he says. Some of the off-the-cuff stuff is most likely his—the stuff containing his basic twelve-word vocabulary—but speeches at podiums or rallies at least start out as screeds written by Stephen Miller or some other Beltway operative with a skewed view of the world.
It might make one wonder if Trump could ever take a stand or even believes the shit he says.
He’s putty in somebody’s hands. He’ll take care of coming across as a bully and tough talker, but the meat and potatoes policy stuff is the brainchild of the masterminds at the Heritage Foundation and elsewhere. They just keep propping him up and pulling the string.
