He’ll say whatever will get him closer to his goals with absolutely zero intent on keeping his word, and by the time even 20% of the country has caught on, he’s already several grifts and/or scandals downstream. If anybody does manage to confront him on it and demand an explanation, he just lies and changes the subject.
Promises made, promises delivered.
I truly don’t understand how he isn’t running out of rubes. He’s been very publicly exposed as the con man he is for over a decade now. His marks keep getting fucked over and are complaining about it. How are so many people still falling for his bullshit?

It’s easier to scam someone than convince them they’ve been scammed.

Trump: “I’m gonna do [blank].”
Me: “He’s gonna do [blank].”
Redcaps: “He’s not gonna do [blank], idiot!”
Trump: “We have done [blank] and are committed to accelerating the [blank] policy.”
Redcaps: "omg, we had no idea that he would actually do [blank]! This is horrible!
Me: “Okay, so are you gonna denounce that at all? Maybe think twice about whether you support a thing that he tells you he’s gonna do going forward?”
Redcaps: “What? Why? It’s actually good and smart that he did [blank], and you’re an idiot loser for still thinking about that. Also everything in my life is bad and getting worse, and it’s the fault of the party that currently wields no power. The party currently in power which is famous for staunchly opposing change will be the key to changing the trajectory of my life.”
How are these people not developing an ounce of critical thinking skill? I didn’t think you needed to be a genius to display basic pattern recognition. A dog can do that effortlessly.

Republicans are the biggest suckers there are. There’s a reason as soon as the jig is up grifters pivot to conservative talking points.
