"THE UNLYING HAS BEGUN":

Donald Trump's next default lies dead ahead (BRETT ARENDS, 11/15/16, market Watch)

Indeed it's only a week after the election and it already looks like his campaign promises are being marked down well below par.

No, it seems he's not going to cancel Obamacare on Day One.

He's not going to build a wall along the entire Mexican border.

No, he's not going to deport all the illegal immigrants.

He's not going to stick it to Wall Street "elites" and big investment banks like Goldman Sachs. On the contrary, they're already making out like bandits.

No, he's not going to stick it to the Republican establishment either. He just made RNC boss Reince Priebus his chief of staff.

We can pretty much forget any pledge to wall off his financial interests. (Memo to fellow journalists: If you know what is in a blind trust, it is not a blind trust)

And we can write-off Trump's promise to release his tax returns when the "audit" is complete.

Oh, but it looks like privatizing Medicare might be on the table after all. Oops! Sorry seniors.

As the journalist Elizabeth Crown wrote on Twitter: "The 'Unlying' has begun." Perfect.
