Online Public Relations Thoughts

President Biden often wanders off-script and gets himself into trouble.  The latest departure from the official line was his comment about the US coming to the aid of Taiwan should it be attacked by China.  The Chinese were angered but as one US analyst says, it is the President's prerogative to make that call and it isn't far removed from stated policy.  So was it a gaffe?  Hard to say.  It depends how the President's domestic opponents decide to respond.  We'll know soon enough.  Biden can be a communicator's nightmare.
