Krauthammer: Trump honeymoon officially over [View all]
Source: The Hill
<snip>
"Normally, newly elected presidents enjoy a wave of goodwill that allows them to fly high at least through their first 100 days. Donald Trump has not been sworn in, and the honeymoon has already come and gone.”
<snip>
“(Trump’s) need to dominate every news cycle feeds an almost compulsive tweet habit,” he said. "It has placed him just about continuously at the center of the national conversation, and not always to his benefit.”
Krauthammer added Trump had not improved some of the flaws from his at times wild 2016 presidential bid.
“Nothing negative goes unanswered because, for Trump, an unanswered slight has the air of concession or surrender,” he said.
“Finally, it’s his chronic indiscipline, his jumping randomly from one subject to another without rhyme, reason or larger strategy.”
