Washington has stopped taking Trump’s promises and boasts seriously because the action never follows the words. Trump is no longer living in the fantasy world of reality TV or his real estate business. Trump is Washington where he has to prove that he can get something done and that his words mean something.
Everyday Trump goes in front of television cameras and makes more crazy promises and empty boasts, but he lacks the knowledge, leadership, and capacity to govern that could turn those words into policy.
Trump has damaged and diminished the office of the presidency to the point where he is being ignored.
Imagine Trump watching his television, and seeing Chuck Todd trying not to laugh at his promise of Middle East peace. Trump has become a joke even to the serious people who spend their days covering him.
