Trump is laying down the tracks as the train is speeding down them. The strategy is survival and, in the broadest sense, winning. But the idea that Trump has some sort of long-game strategy on where the track is heading and how to get there is disproved with each passing day.
Or, to borrow a phrase from my friend Philip Bump, its more likely that Trump is playing zero-dimensional chess than it is that he is playing the three-dimensional version.
