I've been reading some responses to this situation and it seems everyone is attempting to explain this as though there is some type of rational decision making that went into it. I'm going with the idea that the only reason this occurred is because Trump got mad. That's it.
May very well be [continued] coercion.
Coercion is getting somebody to do something against their will. I think Trump is pretty much all in with whatever he's doing at the time. But you're absolutely right he's being controlled and manipulated behind the scenes by people who absolutely know what they're doing. And Trump is probably about as easy to control and manipulate as you can get. Just tell him he's a smart and powerful leader then give him a piece of chocolate cake and tell him it was made with the finest chocolate in the world.
