BHO sold a lot of crap too ... and even got re-elected.I think Trump has realized he is going to be President from a campaign which was run in fantasy.
He now discovers that sold a lot of crap and there is now way it can be delivered and to try would make him the worst President in History.
So to not be the worst in history he is going to play it as safe as he can and give decisions to someone else who knows what they are doing. i.e Establisment
Same as W Bush.
Do comparisons... Obama sold his ambitions which were realistic and achievable... GOP did everything to stop him...
Remember Trump said he was going to negotiate the debt to be lower...
Start there....
