How can the disliked-by-the-press Trump succeed against a celebrity president with a personal hagiographic press following like Obama? TD
American Thinker . . . "Charles Blow at nytimes.com expands on Axelrod's theme, contending that "Trump's consuming obsession with undoing everything Obama did" is because it is "cold and miserable standing in the shadow of someone greater and smarter, more loved and more admired."
While I regard this petulant, vindictive - I won't say "narcissist" because that word, though unarguably accurate - has been overworked as much as Obama's use of personal pronouns (I. me, my, mine). I still see Obama gloating at his State of the Union, saying, "I won both of them!"

"Blow adds: "There is a thing present in Obama and absent from Trump that no amount of money or power can alter: a sense of elegant intellectualism and taste."

He loved to say, "my military" as we all watched Iranian vessels swooping in on US Navy ships with neither fear nor respect, adversary Russian planes roaring just feet away from "Obama's warships" and that humiliating video of Iranians forcing Obama's sailors to their knees with hands on their heads, one weeping.

. . . "Howard Fineman at huffingtonpost.com says the "conventional wisdom about President Donald Trump is clear enough: He's an infantile, ignorant moron," adding that "Democrats hope against hope that he will be impeached over Russia."
Hanson replies: "Thinking (or hoping) that President Trump will implode, quit, be jailed, sicken, die, or be impeached is not an agenda."
Fineman further observes that "if Trump is a moron, he is a moron on a mission – and with more method to his madness than his enemies understand or want to
consider." "The tweets are a useful distraction – a kind of air cover for his carpet bombing of federal policy and programs." . . .

"Buckley adds that the Iran deal "was a treaty that should never have been adopted without two-thirds approval in the Senate, as required by the Constitution":
From 2013 to 2017 we experienced a period of monarchical government under good King Obama and his executive diktats. Under Trump we're seeing a return to constitutional government. Sometimes that means that things don't happen, and don't get passed. But if so, it's as the Framers intended.
"Roger Kimball, writing at amgreatness.com, concludes that "on the ground, in the real world, Trump is methodically pushing ahead with the agenda he campaigned on." "In all of these areas, Trump is proceeding not as a wrecking ball but as a deliberate, if often voluble and sometimes exasperating, agent of change."
" 'Either way," Hanson adds, "the Trump presidency is moving at a speed likely unmatched by his predecessors, and he is getting somewhere fast.' ".
