Edit: Are there people on HN who'll downvote anything with the string "Trump" in it? Not that I care about downvotes (it's just an int in some volatile memory on some server), but I'm surprised people would downvote without even reading.
The same Trump who's been back-tracking and 'reconsidering' all his campaign promises before he's even spent one day in office?
The same people who think that a billionaire placing other billionaires in his cabinet is somehow an "outsider" to the elites and going to help them?
As far as trolls go, I'm not the one here labeling 60 million people I don't know "dump as bread".
But now we have someone who says ridiculous things, does other ridiculous things, and none of them seem to line up. We just don't know what we're going to get.
Luckily, he's old, hasn't worked an 8 hour day in his life, and will likely be letting Pence run the show from behind the scenes, whom while I disagree with vehemently, he's at least predictable.
Because they where so dumb to believe the rubbish Trump said?
I suspect that a large part of why Trump got as much support as he did is that people thought "this guy is a loose canon, maybe stuff will actually happen"
There's a very real base of voters who will always vote for "change" until they see whatever they're looking for. They voted for Obama, who even used "hope and change" as a campaign slogan. Then they voted for Trump, because he was the candidate promising change while Clinton was going to be more of the same.

1) Fanatical follower that believes he will do everything he says
2) A vote against the "system" though understands he says one thing and does another
3) "Just don't like Hillary"
4) etc.
Exactly what I meant, but apparently there are some on HN who'll downvote anything appearing to be complimentary of Trump, even if it is not.
I voted for Hillary, BTW.
Oh, stuff will actually happen. Very extremely bad stuff, judging by the behavior and personnel appointments we're seeing out of this Administration so far.
