[Who is the real Donald Trump? ---Bozo]

Less than two days after Donald Trump stunned the world and defeated Hillary Clinton in the presidential race, the new president-elect is proving that his entire campaign was a massive con job meant to rile up just enough voters to win a general election.
Prior to Tuesday’s vote, Trump promised that – if he won – he would immediately instruct his attorney general to “look into [Hillary Clinton’s email] situation,” adding that the former Secretary of State would “be in jail” if he were president.
He repeatedly implied that Clinton should be taken care of through violent means, whether it’s “Second Amendment people” rising up against her or her bodyguards disarming so we could “see what happens to her.”
Once the results of Tuesday’s election came in, though, Trump said the country owes Clinton a “major debt of gratitude for her service to our country.”
Lock her up, lock her up? Nope, not anymore.
He quickly moved on to Barack Obama, who was gracious enough to invite Trump – a man the current president knows is unqualified for the job – to the White House on Thursday. After the meeting between the two men, Trump said it was a “great honor” to have spoken with Obama, adding that he is “a very good man.”
This is the same Barack Obama that Trump has spent much of the last eight years doing his best to delegitimize, often urging the first African-American president to release his “real” papers to prove he’s not Kenyan-born.
Let us not forget that without this racist lie about Obama’s birth certificate, there would be no President-elect Trump right now. This conspiracy theory is what gave him political oxygen.
After Tuesday, though, he seems to recognize that he no longer needs any of it. The con is complete.
Trump no longer needs to pretend that Hillary Clinton is a criminal. He doesn’t have to incite violence against her. No more does Trump have to perpetuate the racist lie that President Obama isn’t legitimate or that his birth certificate is a fraud.
He didn’t believe any of those things to begin with, but he kept saying them because they were his biggest applause lines. The frightening level of angry enthusiasm he generated has served its purpose. The check has been cashed. Now, after squeaking past Clinton in the electoral college, he can pretend it never happened.
And remember: it’s only been two days.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told Fox News that all of his policies were just “suggestions” that were subject to change once he actually became president.
