I can't believe anybody makes this claim anymore. He plays political games constantly. He dabbled heavily in political influence as a businessman. But even assuming you're right, he's more full of shit than any politician I can remember in my lifetime.
As I said, federal politicians have proven their hatred for America/Americans for 50 years now. We finally got fed up with it. Trump is the result of that.
I generally have contempt for all politicians, so I always remain wary to ever sort of "love them" or slobber over them. Every one of them have been liars in my life time - no human is perfect, but politicians are lower than scum to me. Trump isn't a choirboy. I'm sort of agnostic on Trump - though I admit I did vote for him and will vote for him again in a heart beat.
One thing that I DO love about him is he HATES the "media" and has rightly labeled them "Fake News" and enemies of the People. That in itself is enough to make me support him.
