We did not lie o them. Trump did and I am willing to bet they know this and don't give a fuck.

The I voted for trump because of the economy, and he is a bid'ness man, crowd are full of shit.

They know he has not paid his sub-contractors and they had to sue to even get 1/2 their due.

They know he has bankrupted casinos. With at least 4 or 5 more bankruptcies to his credit.

They know he offshores his merchandise.

They know he owes a lot more money than he is worth.

They know he owes TRUssia a lot of money.

They know several of his business endeavors were shams to fleece the middle class out of money.

They know all this and say they think he will be better for the economy? He'll bring jobs back, just not his own factories.

So what could possibly the real reason they voted for him?

I am going with build a wall, deport them all. Ban on Muslims entering the USA. Register Muslims with the government.
