I believe, and I may be wrong, that Trump was elected on the virtue of
his stated intentions. Many registered Republicans, and some Democrats
don't like the man, but like what he said he was going to do, and
believed that he was going to do what he advocated.

I believe, and I'm never wrong, that Donald Trump was selected by the
Republican party because he was the only available candidate who had
any chance of winning the election.  He was also the only candidate
who actually wanted the job of president.  One has only to look at the
before and after photos of previous presidents to see what the office
can do to them.
