Donald Trump is known for his often outlandish rhetoric. The president-elect of the United States regularly makes public statements that are exaggerations, or vows to take action but fails to do so, which is not necessarily bad.
Consider an example of when he’s backed up his rhetoric with action. In April 2017, Trump said that other nations were “dumping vast amounts of steel all over the United States, which essentially is killing our steelworkers and steel companies.”
While this statement — and several others Trump made when president the first time — appeared to be an exaggeration, it wasn’t empty rhetoric.
