‘Man in a hurry': Donald Trump ‘pushes the envelope' with executive orders
Former Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger says US President Donald Trump's style of governance is consistent with pushing the 'envelope' with the hope that he can reach a compromise.
This comes after a US court blocked Trump's Liberation Day tariffs.
'This is typical Donald Trump … the way to look at his presidency is he's a man in a hurry, he goes two steps forward knowing that in many cases he's going to go one step back,' Mr Kroger told Sky News host Gabriella Power.
'He pushes the envelope everywhere he can and then reaches some form of compromise.
'Of course, his decisions are going to be challenged, but he accepts that.'
