Exactly. Huge part of the problem with Trump support. He simply promises people the world, grand statements about putting "American Steel into the spine of the US", "Making America Great Again" and people just lap it up.

They are words. Nothing more. He tells people what they want to hear and is like "Yeah we'll do this, and this, and yep we'll totally do that too!" with very little idea of how any of it is actually going to happen or be vaguely possible (because most of it isn't).

"Speech that would convince most people on here to support him"? Anyone who finds themselves swayed or convinced by any contrived slice of oratory, in any situation, is an idiot. The same people who are swayed into buying any product because the advertising was good. That's all it is. Advertising. And the product very rarely lives up to the hype.

...He's the "No Man's Sky" of candidates.
