Do what you can, with what you've got, where you are. Variants: "Do what you can where you are with what you've got." "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." Roosevelt in turn labels it as "a bit of homely philosophy, quoted by Squire Bill Widener,…
There remains, world-wide in journalism, those pundits who are compelled (if not wedded) to clinging to the idea that #Trump is somehow a god-tier, twelve-dimensional chess player whose strategies are simply unknowable for mere mortals
Here we go again
"...are better understood as strategic bargaining moves where markets both constrain and serve as tools to enhance his leverage"
No
Trump is a profoundly disturbed narcissist and a demonstrated, serial, pathological liar
Trump has the attention span and knowledge depth of a goldfish
He's simply been lucky, mostly because he's never suffered any substantive, real-world consequences for any of his conduct

A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt
We […] hold the just balance and set ourselves as resolutely against improper corporate influence on the one hand as against demagogy and mob rule on the other. I understand perfectly that such an attitude of moderation is apt to be misunderstood when passions are greatly excited and when victory is apt to rest with the extremists on one side or the other; yet I think it is in the long run the only wise attitude.Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Letter (1899, Spring) to Senator Thomas Platt (R-NY)

A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt
I abhor unjust war. I abhor injustice and bullying by the strong at the expense of the weak, whether among nations or individuals. I abhor violence and bloodshed. I believe that war should never be resorted to when, or so long as, it is honorably possible to avoid it. I respect all men and women who from high motives and with sanity and self-respect do all they can to avert war. I advocate preparation for war in order to avert war; and I should never advocate war unless it were the only alternative to dishonor.Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Autobiography, ch. 7 “The War of America the Unready” (1913)

Better to dare Mighty Things and fail, than to live in a gray twilight where there is neither victory nor defeat.

There were all kinds of things of which I was afraid at first, from grizzly bears to “mean” horses and gunfighters, but by acting as if I was not afraid, I gradually ceased to be afraid.Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
