    FOR US President Donald Trump, 2018 has been a year of perpetual motion. He has presided over near-constant turmoil as he has increasingly relied on his own instincts. In just the past week, the flurry of activity has rocked the government, the military and the markets.

    Here's a look at the major events - some high, some low - that have undoubtedly shaped Mr Trump's thinking heading into 2019.
