In fact, Trump did shake the foundation of old boy politics right from the get go. He made American interests first again and got out of deals that were detrimental to us. For the majority of his presidency the economy was in its best shape in years. Yes for all the years the Democratic machine has been in power, he showed himself to be a better President that Obama was in four years.
Regarding having an extended ego, I don’t think you can aspire to be the President of the United States without a huge ego. You have to believe in yourself, that you are special and the country NEEDS you.
