You seem to have missed the point entirely.
A "boogeyman" is not real. But The media is real. Leftist bias in the media is real.
Trump as Hitler is not real. Voters for Trump are not KKK members. These things are not real, just like the boogeyman. Figments of imagination.
lol which part do you dispute, that the media exists or that it's Left leaning?
What was actually said:
"and as our ambassador said, if the Americans want to talk about NAFTA, I'm more than happy to talk about it."

That means Trump is free to talk about it; essentially just saying get stuffed in polite language
That there is anything more complex than individual news sources have opinions. No conspiracy, no plots, just Americans companies trying to balance profits with their own conscience. The simple reason why the media kept reporting on Trump's issues is that Trump has those issues.

Hilarious, you are describing HRC to a tee, not Trump! And to a lesser degree you described Obama.
I really don't understand that dude. He lives in the U.S., probably didn't vote in this last election, yet, like the left-leaning liberal that he is, expounds and prattles on everything from the liberal playbook, on this, a Canadian website, in his condescending and derogatory manner. Does he not know that there are super American political websites where he can expound his shit instead of an escort website? He averages almost eighteen posts a day. Does he not have a job?Can't agree with that as appealing to racists did not get him the win. The vast majority who voted for him are not racist, to label a broad segment of the US as racist is foolish and just plain incorrect. Trump is not racist, he employs people of all races and faiths and his employees love him. The liberals big mistake was mocking and calling the other side names and slinging false accusations. The right went mostly silent and laid in the grass waiting for their chance to show their feelings with their vote. And did they ever ..... all the blue collar workers who lost jobs due to "fair trade" agreements came out and supported someone who actually gave a fuck about them. Liberals would be wise to understand that they caused Trump's win more so than anything Trump did.
I think the OP makes a lot of good points in that a lot of what he said, and I agree that Trump is not a "classic" Republican. The party lines have blurred somewhat over the years but some of the core values Trump does stand for. No President has ever been able to live up to all of his promises but I think Trump will make good on a lot of his key running points. Acknowledging that there are some good parts of Obamacare is not backtracking, it's being realistic. Most any failed policy has some good elements, utilizing them and revamping the rest is just plain smart. Whether it is repealed (he did not rule that out) or revised, Obamacare as we know it will be dead. And that's a good thing. Even Hillary admitted that, not that her opinion really mattered to me.
I don't think anyone will be lynching Trump, I am one that believes when he says he loves his country and wants to make it great. Which is kind of what OP said, but with that caveat attached. Both parties will have things they don't like, that is the way it always goes. But if Trump does what he does best ..... hire good people to help him run things (which has always included women and minorities of all faiths), broker deals with opposition to get the important things done ..... then I think a lot of people upset right now will look at things differently.
Then you'll have people like fuji who will simply find fault with every thing he does, even if it makes his life better. But the world needs these kind of people too, I'm not sure why but they must serve SOME sort of purpose
He is a perfect representative of the left Liberal, and why Hillary and company LOST.

Trump is a very astute man, who said was necessary to get elected, not necessarily what he will do or even try to do. He previously said that he held Republicans in contempt, that they were stupid and could be lied to and that they were avid Fox News followers. Trump is a Democrat anyway, a social Democrat.

I have no doubt that he is not the man he claims to be. In fact, I believe that in the not too distant future we will be seeing some sort of documentary about "the making of a president" with interviews that he conducted during the campaign specifically made for TV.
The problem is that deception is not a good policy, and while politicians have always been great at deception very few have taken it this far. So who is he really, what does he stand for? If he was playing a game, driving such a divide in the country is very dangerous, reckless even.
People like me are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and if he succeeds.
Lets just hope that he does not fuck up the country too much in the interim.
