Hey, he’s making it up to them by staying in Holiday Inn Express during this week in South Carolina! ;-)
He played them by making it appear something was true that was not. That is his “art of the deal”. It’s his MO. He prides himself in getting others to “tap into their fantasizes”.
Yet you believe he will do everything he makes it appear he will do. He only uses these deceptive tactics on others. For you, he is being straight up.
You seem to believe “He’s lying to everyone but me”.
