What does/would he say if you picked out a specific example like going after Hillary. Obviously everyone heard him say he was going to prosecute her pre-election and then post-election he basically says it was just something that played well that he has no interest in doing.
If that's not a real promise, then how does he (and should you) know which ones are real and which ones aren't.
It's a "real" promise if it's what you care about on a higher priority and/or if he actually follows through
Obviously there's a big connection between what he follows through with and what retroactively becomes what was actually important for you
Eveything else is just bluster, is just "Trump being Trump"
My dad says "Trump isn't who I would draw up, but I care about jobs"
Although I think I'm conflating other people I've talked to with my dad. Maybe it's just all the wrong coincidences with my dad. Because anytime I've ever been at his house and read the newspaper, he's underlined in red various parts of any article that is ever about bringing jobs to his home state. Just thinks it's a perfect one to one relationship and not a scam, a lying stat, a ploy to get governments competing against each other to offer tax incentives
And this is a guy who has like 4 favorite sayings and one of them is "figures lie and liars figure
I mean it's horrible to paint the elclectorate as functionally illiterate or even just not having the most horsepower possible upstairs, but how is this not a result of people being unable to reason on a high enough level to tell that what they "like" or "feel in their gut" is right and anything otherwise is just an attack, just sour grapes, just trying to GET CLICKS
He, and millions of people, are fully on board with FAKE NEWS being major networks and they were before this week. As soon as the stories came out about the influence of fake news on social media, BOOM it can be used against the most mainstream of sources
Which obviously to an extent there is always bias but these people are just like IT'S BINARY BECAUSE EVEYTHING IS BINARY
IT'S FAKE OR ITS SOMETHING THAT AGREES WITH MY OPINION I FORMED BEFORE I HAD ANY EVIDENCE
