CNN: Trump's Conflicting Messages

Just now on Erin Burnett. She is pointing out that trump said the war is "very complete" and then saying the US will not relent until the enemy is "totally defeated". She is pointing out that he is trying to calm the waters after stock prices plunged and oil prices rose on one hand, and then saying something else. Also covering the attack on the girls' school and how CNN's own analysis shows that the US was most likely responsible.

I think even CNN is figuring out that he just says things. And the things he says have nothing to do with what he DOES. A little late to the party, but better late than never?

My dad, the narcissist, was an impossible monster, my older sibling and I were commiserating about it one day and we came up with this cliche for him,

"I'm ALWAYS RIGHT and I NEVER lie. If you disagree, look out"
