The president will not publicly commit to measureable goals.
If he put goals down in writing, he can be held to task for not achieving positive outcomes. And if he publicly stated his intentions and motivations, they become open to debate. Who needs to have their leadership questioned?
It’s much better for the president to hide his motivations, and claim “mission accomplished” if indeed any positive outcome should happen to arise.
