Moon of Alabama \u2013 Oct 22, 2019<\/h1>\n

Since Donald Trump became president many of his subordinates have tried to subvert his policies. Instead of implementing Trump’s idea and preferences they have tried to implement their own. Some Have done so because they believed that it is the “right thing to do” while others have ignored Trump’s wishes to play their own game.<\/span><\/p>\n

A recent example can be found in a Washington Post<\/em> Ukrainegate story<\/a><\/strong><\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s conversations with Putin, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and others reinforced his perception of Ukraine as a hopelessly corrupt country \u2014 one that Trump now also appears to believe sought to undermine him in the 2016 U.S. election, the officials said.<\/span>
\n…<\/span>
\nThe efforts to poison Trump\u2019s views toward Zelensky were anticipated by national security officials at the White House, officials said. But the voices of Putin and Orban took on added significance this year because of the departure or declining influence of those who had sought to blunt the influence of Putin and other authoritarian leaders over Trump.<\/span>
\n…<\/span>
\nAmerican policy has for years been \u201cbuilt around containing malign Russian influence\u201d in Eastern Europe<\/strong>, a U.S. official said. Trump\u2019s apparent susceptibility to the arguments he hears from Putin and Orban is \u201can example of the president himself under malign influence \u2014 being steered by it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The president does not like how the ‘American policy’ on Russia was built. He rightly believes that he was elected to change it. He had stated his opinion on Russia during his campaign and won the election. It is not ‘malign influence’ that makes him try to have good relations with Russia. It is his own conviction and legitimized the voters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump’s policies look chaotic. But one big reason for that is that some of his staff, like the ‘U.S. official’ above, are trying to subvert them. They have tried and still try to cage him in on nearly every issue. When Trump then wields his Twitter<\/em> sword and cuts through the subversion by publicly restating his original policies the look from the outside is indeed chaotic. But it is the president who sets the policies. The drones around him who serve “at his pleasure” are there to implement them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead they have tried (and try) to make their own ones:<\/span><\/p>\n
