Again why are you trusting Trump ? See comments on tariffs and groceries recently. Also the fact that he's not interested in the work, isn't hard to manipulate.

The funny thing is they only trust him at his word on the good stuff

He's super easy to manipulate too, Eric Adams just kissed his butt a little bit and pardons are already being floated. These companies stay at his properties, the Softbank thing was announced at Mar-a-Lago, and it includes previously announced investments, this isn't a completely new deal because Trump got elected, it's just being repackaged for a narcissist.

Yeah, it's a bit infuriating. If Trump says something positive, he will be taken at face value. If he says something negative then obviously it was just a joke and not serious, and anyways, it won't pass congress, so no worry!

I've just resigned myself to the fact that he's going to say a lot of stupid things, and stopped trying to filter for common sense. His close supporters just tend to make up random stuff to fit the sputum, so it's difficult to take serious.

Absolutely and this is the best way to " survive " the unnecessary anxiety of another 4 years of Trump 

 

Trump has demonstrated 3 main ways he communicates and you  shouldnt reflect on them in the same way because they often dont mean the same thing or why he does it 

First way : His SM comments, often just rants and raves and part of his capricious mood swings, definitely not to be taken seriously  

Second way: His comments at rallies, often also part of the theatre and attention he loves. Should be taken more seriously if its part of the official script but Trump often deviates from the script

Third way : Interviews, WH media updates and official meetings with world leaders. Should be seen as more credible because he seems to take these interactions more seriously  

But Trump has a constant problem with staying on script but that doesnt mean there arent times where what he says he believes. Like border control and mass deportations of illegals 

You just need to learn to filter and separate what he really believes and wants to implement from the drama and hyperbole 

And  what I find constantly amazing is the endless media appetite from certain media houses to always be "outraged " by what he says as if everything he says in the 3 examples I mentioned should be taken  seriously all the time in the same way

It must be incredibly mentally draining and requires real mental  fortitude and that applies to his hardcore supporters and surrogates who have to constantly " explain " what he meant or give context
