Much has been made about Trump making uninformed decisions. He often does not listen even to those he has chosen to make decisions in their field of expertise. He refuses to read intelligence reports and often he makes decisions by gut or perhaps following someone's opinion that he heard on TV, often from Fox News.

Is this the best way to make decisions for the country? Can his decisions be trusted? Have all options been considered? Is there ever a plan B?

Here is an article from Forbes that talks about decision making in general. There is no reference to Trump or to anyone else but it does give tips on what is needed to make good decisions and as such you can decide for yourself if Trump is making good decisions.

The first key in understanding how to make great decisions is learning how to synthesize the overwhelming amount incoming information leaders must deal with on a daily basis, while making the best decisions possible in a timely fashion. The key to dealing with the voluminous amounts of information is as simple as becoming discerning surrounding the filtering of various inputs.

Here is another article that also gives tips:

A Systematic Approach for Making Decisions

In real-life business situations, decisions can often fail because the best alternatives are not clear at the outset, or key factors are not considered as part of the process. To stop this happening, you need to bring problem-solving and decision-making strategies together to clarify your understanding.

A logical and ordered process can help you to do this by making sure that you address all of the critical elements needed for a successful outcome.

Working through this process systematically will reduce the likelihood of overlooking important factors. Our seven-step approach takes this into account:

Create a constructive environment.
Investigate the situation in detail.
Generate good alternatives.
Explore your options.
Select the best solution.
Evaluate your plan.
Communicate your decision, and take action
.

Here is the question for you. After reading these 2 unbiased articles, do you think that Trump is following guidelines for making right decisions?

He's an idiot with a short attention span. His focus is always on himself. How he looks, how he dresses, how his hair is, how he looks on TV, what he sounds like. He can't get enough of himself. Paul Ryan was at the big conference table explaining his ideas for the tax plan or something like that, when suddenly Trump got up, walked out of the room and into the next room. Everyone could hear that he turned on the television, to see news of himself no doubt. Mike Pence had to leave the conference and go into the room where Trump was, and talk him into coming back to the meeting.

I believe the event to which you refer is the one described in "President Trump ditched Paul Ryan mid-Oval Office meeting to watch television, ex-White House aide says."

Trump has never cared about anyone who's last name isn't Trump. Once this fact is understood, everything Trump does makes sense.

When your offering a reality show, image and perception is what counts!

He's not following a damn thing. He's a know nothing and a care about nothing but his name in front of the lights, and his face on magazines and headlines, kind of guy.
