This elementary Trump tactic of misdirection is so simple that it confuses most everyone. It is also so simple that it becomes comical to a point. Let's take a look:
Trump has ZERO legislative victories to date. In fact, outside of the Gorsuch SCOTUS confirmation (which was largely McConnell's doing) is the only accomplishment that Trump can lay claim to. Because of his incompetence as a political leader, he has to do something to keep his base ginned up. How does he do this? Simple. He knows that his 35% base of support wanted him to be "anti DC establishment", so that is what he is doing. Trump understands full well that the "nose holding" Trump voters will not rally behind him on every issue. He also knows that the 35% will blindly support him regardless. As such, he is simply a showman giving his "fans" what they want.
His recent comments and actions also have the dual purpose of diverting the conversation away from the seriousness of the Russian investigation (which has Trump terrified) and on to something different. That said, this isn't very hard to figure out as long as you are not blinded by the Trump hype or swimming in the Trump cesspool.
