Trump brilliantly figured out the best ways to get votes, and it worked. He has no reason to do anything he promised because either he just stops democracy (I don't think so) or goes away in 4 years and is not allowed to run again -- either way, he doesn't need to care that much about popularity. The number one reason he wanted to become president was to get immunity from the numerous crimes he had done.

That's why I think the tariffs are not going to happen. It would directly hurt the richest corporations. Why would they do it? Because they promised to? Okay
