No wonder all his enterprises go belly up.When a frustrated adviser once tried to convince President Trump to consider a strategic plan, the president launched into a story about his friend Mike Tyson, the former world heavyweight boxing champion.
What he's saying: "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth," Trump said, echoing a famous Tyson quote.
[...]
"He gets frustrated when there is a plan," the adviser said. "He’s not a guy who likes a plan. ... There’s an animosity towards planning, and there’s a desire to pick fights that have nothing to do with us."
[...]
"We’ve just gotta fight every day and that’s how we win. We can plan all this stuff out but it’ll change," the president continued. "So let’s just not go through the effort."
[...]
A second source, a senior administration official, confirmed Trump has used that Tyson quote to make his point about the pointlessness of planning.
[...]
Other officials insist he prefers to wing it, keeping loose and flexible and avoiding locking himself into even the vaguest plans.
For Trump’s part, he often claims there is a plan, he just won’t reveal it.
