Trump flips on four policies in one day

NATO

“I said it was obsolete. It is no longer obsolete," the president said Wednesday.

Labeling China a currency manipulator

Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that China is not artificially deflating the value of its currency, a big change after he repeatedly pledged during his campaign to label the country a currency manipulator.

"They’re not currency manipulators," the president said, adding that China hasn’t been manipulating its currency for months, and that he feared derailing U.S.-China talks to crack down on North Korea.

Trump routinely criticized President Obama for not labeling China a currency manipulator, and promised during the campaign to do so on day one of his administration.

Еще два пункта -- Janet Yellen's future и Export-Import Bank -- я опустил.

Еще из интересного -- Trump on North Korea: “After listening for 10 minutes, I realized it’s not so easy”.

Слушал Трамп китайского лидера. Это он ему объяснил за 10 минут, что "it's not so easy".

И вот еще отрывок из другого интервью Трампа rsokolov привел:

TRUMP: I was sitting at the table. We had finished dinner. We're now having dessert. And we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen, and President Xi was enjoying it. And I was given the message from the generals that the ships are locked and loaded, what do you do? And we made a determination to do it, so the missiles were on the way. And I said, Mr. President, let me explain something to you — this was during dessert — we've just fired 59 missiles, all of which hit, by the way, unbelievable, from, you know, hundreds of miles away, all of which hit, amazing. […] It's so incredible. It's brilliant. It's genius. Our technology, our equipment, is better than anybody by a factor of five. I mean look, we have, in terms of technology, nobody can even come close to competing. … So what happens is, I said we've just launched 59 missiles heading to Iraq and I wanted you to know this. And he was eating his cake. And he was silent.

BARTIROMO: Heading to Syria?

TRUMP: Yes. Heading toward Syria. In other words, we've just launched 59 missiles heading toward Syria.

rsokolov верно замечает:

Если бы он не вспомнил посреди своей восторженной тирады об американской военной мощи о том, что ему полагается говорить, что американская армия находится в состоянии полного упадка после очередной провальной войны в Ираке, он в следующей фразе не перепутал бы Ирак и Сирию.
