From foreign policy initiatives to the choice of music at White House events, from the prevalence of “Merry Christmas” greetings to the title of the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal , Trump is happy to give himself a public pat on the back — repeatedly — for his great ideas. It was all a bit much for Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, a breast cancer survivor.
Story continuesKathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center, said there is a sound strategy to the president’s efforts. The official asserted that Egypt’s president lobbied Trump over the disputed dam project, leading to the U.S. taking a role in the discussions. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media on the matter.
“By taking credit for things that he obviously does not deserve credit for, such as the drop in the cancer death rate, you raise the possibility that the public will say, ‘What else is he taking credit for that he should not get credit for?’” Jamieson said.
