"But nearly a year into Trump's administration, it turns out that the truth is hidden in plain sight: Trump's actions appear angry and impulsive because Trump is angry and impulsive. Computer programmers use the term WYSIWYG — "what you see is what you get." The real secret of the Trump administration is that it is the WYSIWYG presidency. There is no grand plan or hidden purpose. There is no wizard behind the curtain — just an old, angry, obnoxiously ignorant man.
Some see strategy in the president's outbursts. To supporters, the president's brash actions and hateful speech are calculated to show that he "tells it like it is" — that the billionaire is a man of the people. (Or, rather, of the right people: White nationalists and other extremists view many of the president's actions as coded signals of support.) To others, Trump's command of the public conversation suggests he is either a master persuader bending public opinion to his will or a maestro of distraction drawing public attention away from where it could harm him most.
None of these explanations is convincing.”*
