There is not a single example in American history of a president doing something like this: having a secret agenda that's incredibly, unbelievably unpopular, spending the entire campaign pretending it's fake, and then, upon winning, going "psyche!" and not just embracing it, but expanding on it.

It is the greatest political lie ever told in American history. Not just some busted campaign promise, but an entire campaign on false pretenses. Literal cartoon supervillain behavior: waiting until you get in office and implementing a comic-book plan to annihilate US government virtually overnight.

But somehow Trump not just breaking a promise but intentionally misrepresenting his entire extremist, revolutionary agenda to absolutely devastate and reconfigure US government is treated as, more or less, Trump Just Being Trump.
