Bill Clinton issues damning analysis on Trump's first 100 days: 'He's fallen into the trap' and 'overread his mandate'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump has “overread his mandate” and may be on course for a “historically unpopular presidency,” a senior advisor to former president Bill Clinton has said.

The president has fallen into the trap of “not understanding the difference between the spectacle of campaigning and the work of successful governing,” Doug Sosnik, who advised Clinton from 1994 to 2000 said.

It comes as Trump, for the second time, nears the milestone of 100 days in office. During this time the president has already issued scores of executive orders in an attempt to deliver on the promises of his campaign.

However, in a New York Times op-ed, Sosnik wrote that “a consequential start does not in any way equate to long-term success,” noting that Trump’s approval ratings are already falling. “If past presidencies are any guide, the worst is yet to come,” he said.

He never had a mandate. Trump won a plurality not a majority.

2. Bill Clinton's Special Advisor.

3. He is visually undoing all the good work by Joe Biden, who did have a mandate

4. His start isnt really consequential

He hasn't really created any new laws or pass the tax cut or deregulation his voters wanted.

He has essentially broke a lot of stuff, but the consequences of those actions will happen eventually and they will be spectacularly bad, over and over again.

And yew, the worst is yet to come.

5. Your headline is wrong

Bill Clinton did not say that.

7. It's somewhat of a mandate when the most beatable candidate in history wins, including popular vote.

Fortunately, he seems to be running into to serious backlash/opposition.

8. Bill Clinton was right on China- a "strategic partner"

11. Sosnik is falling into the trap of comparing this unique Krasnov situation to normal times

It’s a mistake to think the normal rules and principles apply here.

12. I guess my idea of damning and theirs is different...

13. There was never any mandate whatsoever.

Trump stole the election.

14. Apart from the headline being wrong, it is 91 eons. . ..days, not 100
