Yeah but you weren't supposed to take him seriously! Or you were supposed to take him seriously but not literally, or something.
(Note that if you express concern about the stuff he talks about doing now, like invading Greenland or Panama or having a third term or cancelling elections, people will still dismiss you as hysterical and say you shouldn't take it seriously.)
I was surprised just how many people voted for him with the full confidence that "politicians never do what they say during the campaign." A sad state on so many levels.
"politicians never do what they say during the campaign," which means there's no difference between voting for someone promising to do bad things and someone promising good things! /s
My FIL, genuinely believed this. He kept going on and on about how Trump never does what he says, and how really, he was going to govern as a moderate republican.
