Theodore Roosevelt used the phrase “bully pulpit. He meant that the Presidency gave him a good venue to promote his agenda, an agenda that he believed would make the country better.
With Trump, he is the bully in the pulpit lashing out at anybody who contradicts him in any way. Trump believes his bullying will “Make America Great Again”, but he is only dragging it down, making the world and America grate again.
