I feel like his playbook is just blame the Dems and if that fails he does a line of coke and talks to the media/tweets
He can't handle any form of criticism so this strategy is moot. This is the quarterly "Trump toning down the rhetoric" angle that the media loves to eat up. Trump gives a somber yet mediocre speech and the CNN talking heads get to spend time discussing how presidential he came off.

Maybe in 20 years Acosta will be a History vocab word that means pestering a world leader into a temper tantrum
