briefings very visibly. are you saying he is accepting new truths? becoming different as a manager, his twitter behavior and the like? well, we haven t seen as many tweets with the president this week. i m hesitant to draw any conclusions and say anything definitively, because as we said during the campaign, as a joke, there is no pivot with donald trump. but he has been chastened by the experience of the first 100 days. the chaos theory that worked during the campaign, i don t know that the chaos theory has worked to the president s benefit. that is one thing that somebody said who is very close to the president outside the administration, they say he is looking to realize that and calm within the administration, whether it s the in-fighting or out-reach with capitol hill. he wants to notch some wins. at the end of the day they say
