From the article:
Some of his plans have already been rolled back.
Trump faces his highest expectations on the issue of immigration, given his intense focus on attention-grabbing campaign proposals like forcing Mexico to pay for a border wall, and temporarily banning Muslims from entering the country.
But he recently indicated he would at first deport only criminal undocumented immigrants, after previously pledging to deport all undocumented aliens, while the Muslim ban has softened into "extreme vetting" of immigrants from some countries.

Peter Thiel of CNBC summed it up best regarding the President-Elect though he should have inserted the word "most" in there regarding his supporters.
"I think one thing that should be distinguished here is that the media is always taking Trump literally. It never takes him seriously, but it always takes him literally. ... I think a lot of voters who vote for Trump take Trump seriously but not literally, so when they hear things like the Muslim comment or the wall comment, their question is not, 'Are you going to build a wall like the Great Wall of China?' or, you know, 'How exactly are you going to enforce these tests?' What they hear is we're going to have a saner, more sensible immigration policy."
I don't for a second believe that there will be a wall paid for by Mexico or that there will be a Muslim ban for example nor do I believe many of his supporters do. How many Hillary and Bernie supporters actually believed there would be free college? How many believed President Obama when he said he'd close down GITMO?

Shouldn't we wait until the man gets sworn in before we judge his presidential performance?
