Again, as a reminder........A demagogue is one who makes FALSE promises either because one is too stupid to realize that they cannot be fulfilled....OR, because one is simply a LIAR.
Here are some excerpts of what Trump "promised" to his emerging cult during the 2016 campaign:
Trump: “I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. ”
Trump: “Now, also at stake in tomorrow’s election are your Medicare benefits. That’s a big deal. Democrats want to raid Medicare to find socialism. It won’t last long. Republicans will protect Medicare for our great seniors who have earned it.”
Trump: “Republicans stand for protecting Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid and strengthening the safety net for truly needy Americans.”
Sooooo, lets take a look at Trump's proposed budget (which, by the way, kind of impacts on his cult members too.)

- $845 billion dollars in cuts from Medicare
