And the fans cheered wildly.
He derided trade deals despite an Iowa economy that relies in part on exports.
He denounced the $6 trillion spent and the lives lost in the Middle East over the last 15 years, despite his administration’s decision to reauthorize troops in Afghanistan.
He Praised his economic advisor from Goldman sachs, even though he condmened his election opponent's ties to,,, well, Goldman sachs.
He repeated his frequent, untrue campaign refrain that the United States is one of the world’s highest-taxed nations.
The president dismissed the potency of wind-harnessed energy in a state filled with thousands of turbines.
He mentioned Hillary Clinton, and the crowd started chanting, "Lock her up", as if the election had never occurred.
When your base is as uninformed as you are, you can say anything. They just want a show,,,,,,,,,,.
Trumps suggests creating law that has been enacted since 1996
President Trump in a rally on Wednesday evening said immigrants who enter the United States should not be eligible for welfare benefits for five years, though such a law has already existed for 20 years.
“The time has come for new immigration rules which say that those seeking admission into our country must be able to support themselves financially and should not use welfare for a period of at least five years,” Trump told a crowd in Cedar Rapids, Iowa at the U.S. Cellular Center.
The president said his administration would be “putting in legislation to that effect very shortly.”
But such a law is already in effect and has been in place since 1996.
Known as the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), the legislation was passed during the administration of former President Bill Clinton and said that an immigrant is “not eligible for any Federal means-tested public benefit” for 5 years, which starts on the date the immigrant enters the country.

You can talk a good game as with the campaign rhetoric, but unless you deliver you will fail.
Sometimes it just takes a little while for people to catch on.

From Thomas Gray's Ode on a distant prospect of Elon College
To each his sufferings: all are men,
Condemned alike to groan;
The tender for another's pain,
The unfeeling for his own.
Yet ah! why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise.
This poem seems to me to express how people tend to wildly agree with and blindly follow "leaders" that spout lies and innuendo because their rhetoric kind of sounds like it matches their own point of view.
Ignorance truly is bliss.
