He flows with the wind

This was uttered by Congressman Max Rose (D-NY) on MSNBC’s Morning Joe show.  Rose was talking about efforts to pass gun legislation and he said, referring to Trump, “this President, I believe, has no inner core beliefs.  He flows with the wind.”  This is a congruent conflation of “goes with the flow” and “blows with the wind”, both meaning to act according to prevailing circumstances rather than a consistent plan.   “Blow” rhymes with “flow” which could have contributed to the mashup.  A shout out to Mike Kovacs for hearing this one and sending it in.  Picture suggested by Mike!
