48. Dumbasses who supported Trump for his pledges...

...without realizing that he breaks every promise are the classic low-information voters. He says whatever he thinks he'd like to be heard saying at a given moment, and then he says other things. It's always been the job of underlings/handlers to try to guess what will please him.

The word "promise" doesn't have much meaning in his world. He's full of wild stories about things he's always about to do, but never does. The trouble is, we've elevated him to a position from which he can appoint people who do have some sort of work ethic, and who will use his license to accomplish what they were going to do anyway.
