I've been saying this for years. In some cases I'd say supprters are worse because they continue to believe, support, and vote for him and his fearful, hateful, and ignorant actions, policies, and words.

It’s true, he’s a salesmen and is great at manipulation and he’s doing one of the best sell jobs of all time to tens of millions of people.
Still the biggest piece of 💩 to ever occupy the WH his supporters are not to far behind!

I believe the terms you meant to use were either conman or grifter rather than salesman.

I refuse to believe he's a master manipulator. He's a moron who has enough hate to tap into the hate in others. He's Nelson Muntz x 1000.
Inlaws were just here to "celebrate" the holiday . MIL was blaming all her problems on trans athletes. After ignoring her for about thirty mins my wife and I lost it on her...HAVE YOU EVER EVEN MET A TRANS PERSON?
A few years ago she'd blame everything on immigrants.
So yeah, he is a master at manipulation. (Or him and his echo chamber). They know exactly what they are doing and that's why they won.

Trump Disavowed Project 2025 During the Campaign. Not Anymore.
President-elect Donald J. Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing manifesto.
During the campaign, President-elect Donald J. Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” a right-wing policy blueprint
known as Project 2025 that would overhaul the federal government, even
though many of those involved in developing the plans were his allies.
Mr.
Trump even described many of the policy goals as “absolutely
ridiculous.” And during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, he
said he was “not going to read it.”
Now, as he plans his agenda for his
return to the White House, Mr. Trump has recruited at least a half dozen
architects and supporters of the plan to oversee key issues, including
the federal budget, intelligence gathering and his promised plans for
mass deportations.
The shift, his critics say, is not exactly a surprise. Mr. Trump disavowed the 900-page manifesto when polls showed it was extremely unpopular with voters. Now that he has won a second term, they say, he appears to be brushing those concerns aside.
“President-elect Trump has dropped all pretense and is charging ahead
hand in hand with the right-wing industry players shaping an agenda he
denied for the whole campaign,” said Tony Carrk, the executive director
of Accountable.US, a watchdog group that has been tracking Mr. Trump’s
cabinet picks with ties to the project.
Mr. Trump’s cabinet picks and other
appointments have reaffirmed the fears of many Democrats and government
watchdogs who say Mr. Trump will use Project 2025 as a road map to
expand his executive power, replace civil servants with political
loyalists and gut government agencies like the Department of Education.
Mr. Trump has picked Russell T. Vought, one of the authors of Project 2025,
to lead the powerful Office of Management and Budget. In choosing Mr.
Vought, Mr. Trump will have someone who views the position as far more
expansive than just overseeing the budget.
Mr.
Vought wrote in Project 2025 that the person picked for the job should
view themselves as an “approximation of the president’s mind,” while
establishing a reputation of the keeper of “commander’s intent.”
In
the report, Mr. Vought wrote that the incoming administration should
overhaul executive branch institutions, such as the National Security
Council and National Economic Council to align with Mr. Trump’s agenda,
while abolishing White House offices for domestic climate policy and
gender policy.
Earlier this year, Mr. Trump tried to distance
himself from his former staffers like Mr. Vought, who also served as
budget chief during his first term. Democrats were ramping up attacks
that tied Mr. Trump to Project 2025 as voters grew unsettled by its
promises to amass power in the executive branch.
“I have no idea who is behind it,” Mr. Trump said on social media in July, despite his ties to former staffers like Mr. Vought.
In
a statement this week, Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for the Trump
campaign, argued Mr. Trump “never had anything to do” with Project 2025.
“All
of President Trump’s cabinet nominees and appointments are
wholeheartedly committed to President Trump’s agenda, not the agenda of
outside groups,” Ms. Leavitt said.
Mr. Trump has also tapped Stephen Miller to be his deputy chief of staff for policy and Thomas Homan
to be a “border czar,” positions that do not require Senate
confirmation. Mr. Homan is listed as a contributor to Project 2025. The
legal organization Mr. Miller founded during Mr. Trump’s time out of
office, America First Legal, was listed at one point as an adviser group
to Project 2025.
Both officials
will be responsible for elements of Mr. Trump’s goals of establishing
detention camps and carrying out mass deportations. The Project 2025
blueprint also recommends rescinding restrictions that prevented
immigration agents from carrying out arrests in schools and churches.
Mr.
Trump’s pick to lead the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan
Carr, wrote a chapter in Project 2025 that called for reining in “Big
Tech,” eliminating immunity protections for social media companies and
imposing transparency rules on companies like Google, Facebook and
YouTube.
“It is hard to imagine another industry in which a greater gap exists between power and accountability,” he wrote.
Other
contributors to Project 2025 include Pete Hoekstra, Mr. Trump’s former
ambassador to the Netherlands and his current pick to be ambassador to
Canada, as well as John Ratcliffe, Mr. Trump’s pick to lead the C.I.A.
A former director of national intelligence, Mr. Ratcliffe was cited
repeatedly in the document, including in a chapter on the intelligence
community written by Dustin Carmack. Mr. Carmack was Mr. Ratcliffe’s
chief of staff when he served as Mr. Trump’s director of National
Intelligence in his first administration.
Mr.
Carmack made the case in Project 2025 for empowering the director of
national intelligence, as the leader of the intelligence community. He
also said the leader needed to “address the widely promoted ‘woke’
culture that has spread throughout the federal government with identity
politics and ‘social justice’ advocacy replacing such traditional
American values as patriotism, colorblindness, and even workplace
competence.”
Alex
Floyd, the rapid response director of the Democratic National Committee
said that “after months of lies to the American people, Donald Trump is
taking off the mask.”
“He’s plotting a Project 2025 Cabinet to enact his dangerous vision starting on day one,” Mr. Floyd said.
