Trump’s political opponents have seized upon any opportunity to challenge the acuity of his decisions, policies and statements. This has led to a near-constant chorus of criticism from experts, the media, and even some of those within the Republican party. Trump has been accused of not always recognizing the nuances of policy or the long-term impact of his decisions, and failing to recognize or acknowledge the potential negative consequences of his government actions. His critics have also pointed to Trump’s tendency to react impulsively and without consideration of all the facts, which they argue has caused unnecessary distractions and has hampered his ability to score meaningful legislative wins.
