Trump often displays emotional swings and perfidious decisions/actions. That tendency creates chaotic environments under the Trump leadership. Some may believe that sowing chaos may be a deliberate Trump strategy designed to keep others off balance and more tentative in their postures.
An example is The Donald’s volatile threats to fire Federal Reserve Board chairman Jerome Powell. Trump appointed Powell during his first term as president. Powell has done a competent job to keep both the U.S. economy and its finances on an even keel and, concurrently, helped to maintain international financial stability.
Trump raised media stress levels and alarms by insisting that Powell aid him to stimulate the economy by lowering interest rates. Powell has resisted those Trump demands out of concern that it might cause inflation to increase. Trump is livid. Two conservative Trump-supporting media giants each have expressed concern over the threat and reasoned against Trump firing Powell. U.S. and world monetary and economic chaos might ensue. I agree.
