2. the objective is to create a nonstop loop of puzzlement to the point where it's not possible to understand what Trump's policy is and what direction the federal government is going. All the while attacking the news media in order to create confusion about the facts.
3. For Kremlin watchers what Trump is doing looks familiar—using Putin playbook. observers in Moscow call "fog of unknowability." i.e. "Specious narratives, conspiracy theories, and indeed fake news have been part of Russia’s geopolitical playbook for more than half a century”
