      He was very open in interviews during/after his first term about how he didn’t actually care about his campaign promises, but went with whatever got the best response from the crowds. IIRC he directly stated this about the whole “lock her up” movement he spearheaded. Somehow those confessions never made headlines.

      I don’t know why the Democrats didn’t simply run ads showing all the times he crapped on his own movement and supporters. There’s easily enough content for an entire series of ads and it’d be way more effective than anything they actually ran (aside from Waltz pointing out how weird they are, which the party made him stop doing despite it being the single most effective part of the 2024 Democratic campaign).
