EXCERPT:
DICKERSON: "In 2016, he said he didn’t think he would be elected and he also said, 'Gee, this is a lot harder than I thought it would be.' And that's not -- he is not new in that. Almost all presidents have said, 'It’s much harder than I thought,' because you get this great big job and, you know, I've done this before, but LBJ said the presidency is like the boy who went to the 'Hoochie Coochie' Show and he finds out it’s not exactly as advertised. You get in there and you’re just — you're much more constrained. But he comes in, and we have seen it with the pace of this presidency already, he comes in with a plan and without a lot of the people who, in his first term, there were a lot of people who admitted they were trying to hold him back. There’s nobody holding him back this time."
