When he said he was going to "drain the swamp" and "build a wall" during the campaign I figured he wasn't going to be a conventional politician.
In some ways he has been less erratic and dangerous than I thought he might be. The US 'democracy' (read politicians on both sides that hate him) has served to stymie his more radical moves. All thats left is a frustrated cartoon figure.
Despite being unpupular with politicians there are still enough voters that like what they see so far (or prefer it over the alternative). He will be elected for another term.
I don't know that he will, that'll probably boil down to what the Democrats offer, which at the moment doesn't seem to be all that much.
What I reckon as far as his election goes is that the Democrats and the Republican establishment were offering more of the same, he offered something else, I don't know that people were conned in general, I think more so they just chose a promise of something different over the same shit that had been screwing them basically forever. It's not that hard of a choice when you look at it like that.
Now though they know what they're actually getting next time they vote, which for mine is pretty much the same as they always had, but with a big fat dose of batshit crazy and some really dumb shit to wash it down. His base are still buying into it though, so who knows.
