I don't think you can take Trump's word for anything because his word changes with his mood. Having a president who allows his emotions override his reasoning and decision making could be a dangerous situation.

I thought I heard a quote yesterday from Kellyanne Conway that said something to the effect of, "Don't listen to what Donald Trump says, but know what's in his heart."

I'm not sure what the heck that means, since I can't know what is in his heart, because I don't get to hang out with the guy.

So know, I don't take Trump at his word. But to be fair, I don't take any politician at their word. I promise you that if Hillary would have signed off on the TPP. Not saying that's a bad thing, per se, but rather plainly that she would have signed it.

I truly don't know what we're going to get from Trump. We could see a renewal of American economics and power, or within the next four years we could all die in a fiery nuclear hellscape. 

The biggest reason I couldn't bring myself to vote for Trump was because throughout his campaign he never laid out what could be called concrete, believable policies that made any sense to me. Nothing has changed in that regard since he was elected. 

 

The man is a proverbial liar, racist, misogynist, bully and worse.  Why would anyone believe a word he says?

The thing is, even the people closest to him must know some of the stuff he says is off-the-wall or they wouldn't feel the need to 'clarify' or explain the stuff he says.  It happens almost immediately.  Why not let the guy speak and tweet and let us decide what he means?

One of the most interesting questions of the past year or so;
If Trump says what he means, and means what he says,,,, why do his handlers have to spend so much time telling us what he really meant?

I suspect the number of people in this world whose word is good could be counted on one hand.
