Trump makes two different types of promises. The first group are things that are obviously impossible and meant only to get votes. Things like making Mexico pay for the wall, unrealistic promises of jobs, promises to end a war in a day. etc. He knows he is lying but doesn't care. It doesn't hurt his ego one bit to backtrack on those promises. The second group are the reprehensible things that he really wants to do. Some of those might not be feasible (the wall) but he will try and often accomplish those goals.The problem with all the people, including several posters here, who think Trump is a bad person but voted for him because they don't think he'll actually do what he kept promising to do is that a narcissist like Trump views this electoral win as a mandate to do exactly what he promised to do.
Don't underestimate the man or those around him. They're mostly fools but even a fool can accomplish a lot of bad things if given the power to do so.
