The only experience Trump has is in big business. Where he was the boss. Zyphlin said it best. And this is a TERRIBLE paraphrase, believe me. He said something like...
There are bosses who lead through example and inspiration and bosses who lead by bossing. Trump, unfortunately is the latter. (I hope Zyphlin doesn't see this. )
I think many of his supporters hope against hope he can learn the former skills because that is surely one way Washington works.
When he says everything is the biggest and best? He used to that in business. The legal term for it is puffery. That doesn't work well when things can be quantified, like the number of people at his inauguration, as an example. On a brochure for Trump Tower? No problem.
He is a narcissist. So he has great difficulty admitting he is wrong. And, as important, he has trouble taking others' advice. That is quite obvious. I'm sure his staff tries to guide him, and sometimes he listens, but not nearly often enough.
These are some of the things Inthought of when Inread this post Imgrabbed. Your last sentence brought these things to mind.
Thanks for continuing...that last sentence...yeah that.
I think that's part of the problem many have...his puffery as you called it.
Honestly, I've studied a bit about him from time to time and the only time I've ever seen him show any sign of admitting he was wrong was the other night when he addressed his change in stance on Afghanistan...somewhat Presidential...reading a script.
