Trump's breaking promises to supporters and they're pissed
by Ben Reilly Tue Nov 22, 2016 9:41 pm
President-elect Donald Trump isn’t an ideologue. He’s a salesman who seeks approval from whoever he’s pitching. How can you tell? Well, to win the presidency, Trump energized a base of voters that felt ignored by Hillary Clinton. His supporters rallied behind the tentpole policies of his pledge to “Make America Great Again,” which included some ancillary promises, like putting Hillary Clinton in jail.
But today, he seemed to change his tune. He met with executives and editorial staff from the New York Times, which was live tweeted by several of the journalists present. But much of what he told the Times today as president-elect sounds dramatically different from what he’s been telling ordinary Americans for the past 18 months. For instance:
(Paraphrased): Jailing Clinton, pulling out of the Paris climate treaty, disavowing the white-nationalist "alt-right," *still* thinking we should get rid of the Electoral College even though it got him in, and making it easier to sue media outlets for libel (someone told him it would apply to him as well!).

He's already backed way off on deporting all illegal immigrants, banning Muslims and building a wall along the Mexican border.
Trumpies are not happy:

SO it turns out the reason that we on the left have been calling Trump supporters stupid is ... because Trump supporters are stupid.

I have to say I was very amused at him recommending Nigel Farage for US ambassador. In a tweet too, excellent

Incredibly presidential of him. I'd rather see Sarah Palin as the next POTUS.
