FILE - In this March 10, 2017, file photo, President Donald Trump speaks in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, during a meeting on healthcare.

Then the rest of his administration scrambles to catch up _ and to figure out when his statements signal new presidential policies and when theyre offhand remarks that mean little.(AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File)
