Ex-Clinton Adviser Reveals Exactly How Trump Fell Into A 'Trap' In First 100 Days
HuffPost
Doug Sosnik spotted a trend in past presidencies that indicates the "worst is yet to come" for Trump in his second term.
Doug Sosnik, a senior adviser to former President Bill Clinton, explained how the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s second term could be a “prelude to a historically unpopular presidency.”
“Mr. Trump has fallen into the trap — common for newly elected presidents — of not understanding the difference between the spectacle of campaigning and the work of successful governing,” Sosnik wrote in an op-ed published Monday in The New York Times.
Sosnik described round two of Trump’s first 100 days — which end next week — as the “most consequential” of any president in modern history following his dismantling of the federal government, undoing of post-World War II alliances and his approach to trade.
“But a consequential start does not in any way equate to long-term success,” Sosnik wrote.
“Mr. Trump’s approval ratings are already falling, and if past presidencies are any guide, the worst is yet to come.”
