The takeaway is that it’s a total charade that anyone wealthy who supported him has any clue. He literally said he was going to do this, to thunderous applause. And then when he does, these people are surprised pikachu. The lack of intelligence is astounding.

The only positive thing I can say about him is that, whether it's a good idea or not, he does exactly what he says he will.

To be fair, politicians in general have a poor record of actually doing as they'd promised.
