I mean, I suppose they are making sense to the grifters who run the Republican party, but they don't match up in the least with Trump's so-called message. And it's only been a couple of weeks since the election.

But of course Trump is a sociopath so he never actually had any real ideals or plans of his own that he cared about. All he has ever cared about is his own personal brand name.
