I mean, if you really believe that, then no politician would ever be able say something like "I'll work to get you free health care".
- Cancel student loans
- Reduce federal tax rates
- Increase unemployment/pension/etc payouts
There is always a state of "this policy upside is contingent on voting for me" - though in Trumps case he is making it contingent Not on his own electoral outcome in some sense. Just messy.
