Presidential public policy making: Florida man discusses Congress Redistricting

Contemporary presidents are especially prone to mistaking spin for reality for several reasons. If they misrepresent what they are intenting as far as policy making, it is deceptive. Presidents are nominated not by other elected officials who have some sense of what it takes to govern, but by activists and party electorates who value inspiration and solicit entertaining provocation. The importance of mass communication leads presidents to believe that the words and activities that got them into office can work once they are in office: more rallies, more speeches, more tweets, and more television advertising.  This can often be wrong.  Sometimes negotiation needs to be done internally with governing bodies not through public appeal.
