there ain't any doubt about trump as he has been a carnival side show act for years;
In his 1987 book The Art of the Deal, Donald Trump describes a stunt he pulled a few years earlier that involved deceiving Holiday Inn executives into partnering with him on the construction of a casino. Trump, who owned a strip of land along the Atlantic City boardwalk, lied when he told the hotel chain’s top brass that construction was already underway and that encouraging progress was being made. In reality ground had barely been broken at Trump’s site which, at that time, was little more than a plot of empty land. On the day the executives were scheduled to appear on-site, Trump “directed his construction manager to hire dozens of pieces of heavy equipment to move dirt around the site, digging holes and filling them back up if necessary.” “What the bulldozers and dump trucks did wasn’t important…so long as they did a lot of it,” Trump said.

The hoodwink worked just as Trump expected, for he knew that the mere appearance of activity would be enough to persuade the hotel executives to invest in his project.
A similar trick is being played on the American people today.
So far the Trump administration’s oft-touted “mass deportations” scheduled to begin on “day one” have yet to materialize. The daily totals through the first few weeks are nowhere near high enough to make even a slight dent in the number of illegals who have entered the US over the last eight years alone. At the current rate it would take 28 years to deport the 11 million people officially claimed to be in the country illegally, and Trump’s daily deportation total would have to hit at least 2,700 to reach even one million per year. In spite of his fervid campaign rhetoric, the highest single day arrest total since Trump took office is just over 1,100 and even that fell to a paltry 300 per day by late last week.
