You haven’t listened to anything Trump has said at any point in this campaign? 

If you have been paying attention you should realize there is a big difference between what Trump says and what he does.

I thought a "promise made was a promise kept". What is it?

I’ve asked time and again here for any policies of Trump and it’s been crickets. 

Come Jan. 20th everyone will find out. Does anyone think that trump's promise to only be a dictator for a day will stand.That he will have discipline to control his baser instincts?

So that was some sort of ultra secret preamble for what happened yesterday? So that now he can begin mass deportations on Jan. 21?

It'll be okay for me, for sure. But it won't be for the people for whom I was willing to sacrifice.

It's the same for most politicians.  None should be judged by what they say, only what they do.

Apparently the big brains on Wall Street approve of Trump 2.0 with Dow futures up 1000+

America is very unhappy with current conditions. trump will be unable to address those concerns except for perhaps immigration. The trade wars he starts from tariff impositions will lead to inflation. His further pandering to christians will also cost him support. Obviously America will survive trump. But like his other endeavours like casinos, steaks, colleges, etc. He will make a big mess out of everything and leave unpaid debts in his wake.

We need to start counting how many laws, felony charges, he racks up in his second term.

No that would be the anticipation of trillions in more debt sloshing through America. Extended tax cuts and the elimination of the IRS.

Brent, lay off the champagne and bourbon. There is always a hangover after a big party.

Calling him racist and misogynistic is not going to win any races.  The public sees through the act and are sick of it.  Find a new tactic that persuades the public.

Octavian drug Antony through the mud about courting Egypt thousands of years ago and Cicero wrote about swaying the public in the same era.  Propaganda has been the defacto way to influence people for at least two thousand years.  There were even writings about it that survive to this day.  Bernays wrote "Propaganda" in 1920.  

The truth world never existed it's a phantom.

Quite a non-sequitur you’ve gone for there. 
Anyway, the people who might have needed that message are all his rally goers who love him because he tells it like it is and keeps his promises.

It’s not an act, he is those things.

Anyway, the answer seems to be no, you haven’t listened to anything he has said during this whole campaign. He attacks everyone on the left all the time. He attacks viciously, condescendingly and constantly. The lesson from this election is the tactic that works is to wallow in the mud. The mistake the dems made is being too polite, so the odd insults stand out too much.

No one believes you, it was obvious if you followed any of the discourse not controlled by the legacy media.  That's all I'm saying, whether he is or is not, or what I believe he is or is not.  People do not believe the attacks and are tired of being called racists/misogynist/whateverist.

GET BETTER MATERIAL IF YOU WANT TO WIN

You forgot about garbage, turns out folks don’t like to be called garbage. (Or deplorable)

Funny, though, how it's just fine to call liberals child abusers, communists, and idiots. Those moving goalposts.

With all the sources independently available to you, free of any spin I could put on them, would you really still want to ask me?  (as with yourself, I'm not even American). You'd be making the same mistake as nigel99.

His last policies added more debt than any other president ever.

 

Why is it that Republicans are not concerned about debt when it comes to R policies, but scream bloody murder when it comes to D policies?

There was a time when people were upset about politicians lying. Now it is applauded and rewarded.
