Or, his random chaotic approach may accidentally do the right thing sometimes out of shear probability. A broken clock is right at least twice a day, a random clock is right randomly.

No rational person actually believe that POTUS really is 'random' and 'chaotic'.

This type of comment has no purpose except as a cheap shot at a disliked president. It simply lowers the S/N ratio and brings HN closer to reddit.

Also, correct spelling is 'sheer'.

Speak for yourself. Trump acts almost entirely on impulse which is close enough to random.

In fact, he described his own thought processes perfectly in the quote: "I don't stand by anything." [1]
