What better distills the Trump approach to politics than making a big promise in front of cameras and then quietly not following through? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/06/16/trump-unkept-promises-analysis/?itid=ap_philipbump
All promise, no pastry: The essence of Trumpian politics

Trump's visit to a restaurant in Florida included a promise of buying food. But, it seems, he didn't.

The Washington Post
@pbump Approach to life, you mean.
@pbump it’s amazing that Vancouver, a town run by real estate developers, operates entirely this way

"Trump, of course, did what he came to do, promising “food for everyone!” to the approval of those in the room.

... his promise of “food for everyone” wasn’t necessarily inaccurate, it was just that

**Trump didn’t pay for it.**

He came in, made a big promise in front of the cameras and then brought the cameras out with him.

That, right there, is Trumpian politics, distilled."

@pbump Thanks for folllowing up on the bakery story, Phillip. I suspected as much, but I assumed reporters were just going to let it slide.
