"Has the president convinced himself that he doesn't need to sell his policies and actions? It appears that he believes he can will people into agreeing with him by claiming his achievements are the biggest, best and most amazing in American history. He's gone way too far by slapping his name on buildings (the Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts) and government programs (the Navy's Trump-class battleship)."
"His pace is unrelenting. He throws at reporters so much fluffpersonal asides, fulminations about adversaries real and imagined, commentary on culture and self-congratulationthat the press and public often ignore important things. This pace is also unsustainable. There are signs that the public is tiring of his hyperbole and insatiable desire for retribution. Increasingly, they may hear only the offensive or cruel things he says."
The economy, the southern border, and the Middle East are presented as areas of notable achievement. No American president has dominated the news cycle like Donald Trump, fueled by round-the-clock Truth Social posts. The president's relentless pace of personal asides, attacks on adversaries, cultural commentary, and self-congratulation causes the press and public to overlook important matters. That pace is unsustainable, with signs the public is tiring of hyperbole and a desire for retribution. The president's habit of affixing his name to buildings and government programs is viewed as excessive and off-putting to average Americans.
