The fact that he is going to jack crap of the extreme stuff he spoke about is going to be a big political gamble, imo. I mean, he either thinks that the dems will run out another horrible candidate next time, that he can change voter base by what he does/accomplishes during the next few years, or that he can ignore his current base and win them back quickly with more hate and fear for the next election.
The whole drain the swamp thing is the worst, imo. I mean, I am seeing a lot of articles about how he had zero understanding of the job of the presidency and will be handing over huge amts of power/influence to his advisors so that those advisors can basically partially do his job for him and partially teach him how to do the job. The swamp is being restocked as we speak with ppl that have been there before so that they can do the above. It is probably going to have the exact opposite effect that most of the drain-the-swampers actually expected. More influence in governing by those who want to create, expand, and take advantage of loop holes and power.
If this is in fact how he plans to proceed, he is in effect making himself Hillary for the next election.
