I think he sped up gay marriage by 2 years because he just said what he was thinking instead of following Obama's carefully constructed script.
But notice that Trump never says anything substantive ever. It is just bragging and pissing contest. "So and so is a bad thing." "I'm the best." Nothing more.
Definitely fair criticism. I think, unfortunately, the reason, is that he has no in depth answers for any of these problems. He's just got a bunch of things he wants to do and maybe a very high level outline of how he thinks he might do it.
But in general, not many people are giving in depth answers off the cuff. Bill Clinton was amazing at it. Chris Christie is really good at it. But you've got to have a persona that can get you out of trouble if you screw up while doing it on top of just being able to do it to begin with.
