and what will he say and do when congress doesn't go along with him or when foreign leaders question him on views and opinions? I am finding it hard to believe so many can't seem to understand this.

Sounds very politician like to me.... Tell the people exactly what they want to hear until the position is secured.
Then do I as I really please, despite said promises...... Obama did the same thing didn't he?

Basically saying that he's putting on an act to garner support.

Seems artificial/superficial.

He's a salesman. He's used to doing this to make a sale.

We talk freely with family and friends, more guarded in a professional atmosphere.. I am sure most people are aware of what the situation is when acting a certain way..

I am not so candid when in a professional atmosphere.. it is all business and we wear many hats in different situations.

Sounds quite honest to me. Quite unlike the politicians we are used to that make promise after promise and follow through on none of them and act like they still deserve your support.

Did Obama end the wars? No. Did Obama go after the Wall Street criminals? No. Did Obama stop the influence of lobbyists? No. Did Obama do health care reform out in the open like he promised? No. I could go on.

It's better to just make promises and then ignore that you ever made them?

Trump said the other day that he would do and say things to win the nomination and then do things differently as president. While I still won't vote for him I appreciated his honesty.

He's not talking candidly like you do with family and friends when he's standing at rallies in front to TV cameras. He has the eyes of the world on him then and claims he'll act differently if elected? And you're buying into that hogwash? The first time a world leader calls him a ding he'll be in a Twitter war or worse because once a thin-skinned egoist, always a thin-skinned egoist.
