Julian Zelizer : Donald Trump's campaign strategy was to play to people’s fantasies.

He says voters were drawn to him based on perceptions of his second -term plans that had little to no basis in reality.

Zelizer says the chimerical allure that helped propel Trump to the White House has an expiration date.

Julian Zelizer : It's not unreasonable to expect that his crowing about his “powerful mandate” will be exposed as arrant hyperbole.

Trump ’s hyperbolic promises as a candidate could also undermine his presidency, Zelizer says.

Trump has, as a recent Times headline put it, promised the moon with “no word on the rocket”.
