Trump appears to actually believe he can make his promises come true. And in that sense he can be said to be more honest than a lot of garden variety, cynical politicians.
At the same time, he doesn't seem to have his facts straight about a lot of important things.
One picture of Trump that emerges is: strong-armed CEO surrounded by yes-men and sycophants. He's used to going unquestioned. He's used to "being right" just because people around him affirm his statements without questioning them.
He seems to live in a fact-bubble of his own creation. But because it's different (and to many Republicans and a few others, more appealing) than the fact-bubble around Washington, he polls well.
But what's actually going to happen if he gets elected?
