Trump Strategy of Inaction Sparks Political Uncertainty

Trump strategy of nothing

Washington watches as the former president adopts a baffling policy of deliberate silence. Analysts warn that the impulsive, reactive leader may be buying time, but every day of inertia erodes his leverage. A Reuters poll shows his approval slipping ↓ 5% since the last rally.

Meanwhile, the administration’s pandemic response remains a reference point pandemic for measuring crisis management. The clock ticks; the question remains how long Trump can sustain restraint before the next outburst.
