Trump conned his supporters into believing he was a populist for the working man.

And everything he has done, everything, has been to give more and more to the wealthy. After all, it is only a game. He who dies with the most toys wins.

But people are going to suffer for his policies. It might be the repeal of "Obamacare"? It might be mine owners polluting our drinking water? It might be our young soldiers dying for something given little thought?

All of his appointees for his Cabinet were not put in place to help education, labor, environment, or any other priority. They were put in place to destroy the mission of those Departments.

Those poor suckers that fell for it are in for a rude awakening.

which softened them up for the big lie. The RW propaganda machine has been hard at work for years and years selling the lies that made Trump possible.

we can expect to find a con man. He says whatever gets him what he wants.

All he ever wanted was to win.

He had no idea what he was "winning," except more money and branding? What else is there?

We don't know what trump wants out of the presidency. There is something and it involves money for sure. He never does anything that doesn't make him money, this is no different.

We will at some point know, since he has so many conflicts but the press that he keeps trashing will find out. Then we will find out what rebooblicons do about it.

They wanted someone to believe in so much and they wanted to WIN the election so badly they simply believed about Trump what they wanted to believe. I imagine this magic aura will last until the bill start coming due for his lack of policies...
