This is probably something that is common with all presidents, but Trump has a hard time with relationships. He ends up burning bridges with most people he has a relationship with. You don't run a government like that.

This is undoubtedly true to a great extent. Trump is a bombastic narcissist.

However, there are different types of narcissists.

Some just push right over you (Trump),

Others tell you what you want to hear, with shades of truthiness sprinkled in with the lies, and then they stab you in the back if necessary and proceed in clandestine ways to do what they what to do, any way possible (Obama, Hillary).

But Boehner said the problem was having to go back and sell it to everyone else and then have to say things in public that he didn't really believe, etc, etc.

See, this is exactly right, and that type of lying had gotten completely out of control in politics. That’s part of the reason voters chose Trump.

He may exaggerate and bend the truth but you never get the sense that he’s a scheming snake in the grass type of liar. He doesn’t scheme. What’s on his mind is too quickly on his lips. He’s so narcissistic that he doesn’t really care if people don’t like what he thinks or says.
