It's amazing how people believe that what Trump said to *get* elected, is
what he will do now he is, and in the same breath say that he is a born
liar... :-)

 
Absolutely amazing! I cannot believe that people are still falling for it,
and also, how they can be so upset about Trump, yet, fail to notice that
every politician on the planet said and promised things before the
election, that were not delivered after the election.
 
Either peoples memories with respect to Trump are very selective, or most,
if not all people, except perhaps the ones reading this group, voted for
the first time in their lives this election. very mysterioues!

The explanation is simpler than that.

The average voters attention span (and memory depth) is about 1 hour. 
Anything a politician said (assuming it was reported accurately by the
press in the first place) older than 1 hour is all but forgotten.

And for a huge set of "average voters", the only thing they are upset
about at the moment is the "thing" their favorite news source told them
to be upset about at the moment.  The instant their news source stops
telling them to be upset about item X and starts telling them to be
upset about item Y, they flip to being all upset about Y and X is
forgotten.
