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

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.
