Known Unknowns- The Trump Effect

As we move from winter to spring, we see more and more evidence that Donald Trump’s tweets and interview statements should indeed not be taken at face value, as he is more than willing to change his views quicker than other people change their shirts.

No wonder Mr Putin complained that he no longer knew where the US administration stands.
