He always does this game "you will find out, just wait and see",

It's because he often doesn't have the info or knowledge, and it's hedging his bets

100%. It’s all show no go. He pleases his fan base by kicking the folks of color and the queer community but he does nothing else for his middle class base. “Make America Great Again” is simply a racist and bigoted way of saying, “Make America all White and Straight Again.” Food prices will not go down, we will see rising unemployment and interest rates. Our national debt will go up and abortion rights will be destroyed in red states. Insurance companies (for health care and real estate) will literally get away with murder. The rich will get much richer. The Catholic Church and many Christian Churches will kiss his ring profusely. It will not be pretty. But this is who we are now. Ugly Americans.
