"Mr. Trump’s words repeatedly repudiate what is supposed to be official policy, it sows confusion and undermines trust in officials like Mr. Pompeo who try to defend the president. During the 2016 campaign, Mr. Trump made clear that, above all, he consults himself on foreign policy. As Rex Tillerson, his first secretary of state, remarked after Mr. Trump spoke sympathetically of neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottesville, Va.:“The president speaks for himself.” Mr. Pompeo finally conceded to the senators that “the president calls the ball” and that “his statements are, in fact, policy.” And that is why so many people cringe when Mr. Trump steps up to a microphone or reaches for his smartphone."
