“He's in a trap” and “over-reading his mission”
Donald Trump “overreads his mission” and may hold a course for “an unpopular president in history,” said senior adviser to former President Bill Clinton.
The president has fallen into the trap of “not understanding the differences between campaigns and the work of successful directors”, and he advised Clinton from 1994 to 2000.
This is the second time that Trump has approached a 100-day milestone. During this time, the president has issued many executive orders to fulfill his campaign commitments.
However, in the New York Times op-ed, Sosnick wrote: “The corresponding start does not equal long-term success.” He noted that Trump's approval rating has dropped. “If the guidance from the past was any guidance, the worst is yet to come,” he said.

“As more and more Americans begin to feel the pain of his policies, we will likely look back on his first 100 days as a prelude to an unwelcome presidency in history.”

“Mr. Trump may be subject to the same law of political gravity, but due to the combination of multiple factors, he may get steeper job approval in early September, some of which are shared with his predecessor, some of which are unique to his presidency,” he said.
“Like his ex, Mr. Trump has over-read the tasks given to him by voters… Mr. Trump has fallen into a trap (which is common for newly elected presidents) because they don’t understand the difference between the spectacle of the campaign and the successful management of the job.”
Sosnik added that Trump’s “failure to plan and execute policies correctly” defined his second term so far and illustrated by a “rude” introduction of immigration and tariff policies – the latter that has thrown global markets into chaos.
“The uncertainty created by Mr. Trump's chaotic directorial style also makes it impossible for companies to make investment decisions,” Sosnick wrote.
