They are not mutually exclusive in effect, but they are mutually exclusive in intent and success/failure is measured by intent. If you set out this morning to go to Walmart but got disoriented and ended up at Burger King, you failed in your navigation to Walmart; you didn't successfully navigate to Burger King. In effect, you did, but in intent, from your perspective, you certainly did not succeed. Can you understand that?The two aren't mutually exclusive you know.
I doubt it; I made my definition according to his actions against China. He set out to make the US dominate China and every one of his actions agrees; what he had to do to save face after he failed is another story. What do you think his definition is, a 2 parter starting with being an American hero and if not that, then a successful conman with either being considered a success?Besides, Trump's definition of a legacy is probably different from yours.
I remind you, it's about what he intended to and set out to do in the beginning, NOT what it devolved into for a deranged old man who could never publically admit defeat or mistake no matter what happens. When he screws up reading a person's name on stage, he pretends that what he said is a nickname, for cryin' out loud! Can you say that's a win and he intended to do that, or are you able to understand that he made a mistake and tried his best to cover it up, so his gaff is actually a failure instead of a real win?From all we've seen, Trump's definition of "win" is whatever he says it is. So as long as he's got a sizeable amount of followers agreeing with him, his goal is achieved regardless of what the actual state of the nation is.
