The election wasn't even a week ago and he's already changed the script.
I think it's a good thing of course, but I'd be getting a little antsy if I was a supporter.

I think a lot of what he was saying was to gather a following. I said it after noting that his victory speech contained none of his previous hate rhetoric he was spewing before. Campaigning Trump is different from President Trump. A lot of it was a means to winning the election. In reality his main concern by far is economy, as that is the only area he actually knows his way around in. I think he realized he's not going to #### with the rest, because he wouldn't know how to actually go about carrying out those things in reality. Then again I'm not sure if Trump actually believed he would get to where he is, so it was easier to promise outlandish things when it felt like a long shot. Now that he's actually made it, he probably realizes a number of those things were a bit too ambitious. If he lets the controversial parts of his policy be, then it's good for everyone.
