By Don Aitkin, published 22/6/2018He is not a politician, and has never served in any elected role. So he didn't come to office with a well-developed sense of what you do and how you do it.

Listen Sunshine - you may live in a bubble. Most of
the rest of us do live in the real world.
Donald Trump's own former campaign strategist David
Urban tells CNN's Anderson Cooper that President Donald
Trump does not "purposely lie" to the American people.
But that he is prone to "hyperbole."
While his competitors gravely list how to fix the country's
problems Trump tells voters how fantastic everything is
going to be once he's President. He's pledged to be the
greatest jobs president God ever created. To be better on
women's health issues than anyone else. To seize Iran's oil
reserves, to beat up on China while making them "like us."
To get rid of ISIS, to force Mexico to pay for a new 2,000
mile wall along its border with the US, to round up and
deport 11 million undocumented immigrants.
The man has no problems promising voters more than he can
possibly deliver - over-hyping his abilities is what this
guy does. The sad part is that his over the top style with
no substance does have its admirers. Who believe that it's
enough to just say he'll "Make America Great Again." And
it will happen! Exaggeration is a hallmark of the cut-throat
New York real-estate world that Trump comes from. Lets hope
that he doesn't bankrupt the country like he did his own
businesses. And that the many Americans who did not vote for
him will turn up to vote at the next election.
He's not even a good salesman - let alone a President.
