We are deceived by promises and time disappoints us.

Monte and several over Republicans had agreed to serve on his Hispanic Advisory Committee of his Campaign for the Presidency. However, Trump made some very insulting generalizations about Hispanic immigrants for example calling them "rapists". The Committee and most other Republican Leaders had informed Trump that his rhetoric was counter productive and turning off minority voters. Trump had indicated that he would change his approach and soften his policies and his rhetoric against immigrants and minorities, and seemed to do that in a =visit with the President of Mexico. He returned to the United States and held a major rally where Monte's Committee and the Republican National Committee understood that he would pivot and take a new approach. He delivered the speech with the members of the Hispanic Advisory Committee behind him, and then surprised them all and went back to his hard line, insulting positions and rhetoric that had distressed many before. Monto and other members to the Hispanic Advisory committee resigned in protest and were particularly resentful that Trump would use them as in his speech that was televised when Trump must have known that he was going back to his original positions to which they had objected.
Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian polymath of the High Renaissance who was active as a painter, draughtsman, theorist, engineer, scientist, sculptor and architect. While his fame initially rested on his achievements as a painter, he also became known for his notebooks, in which he made drawings and notes on a variety of subjects, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and paleontology. Leonardo's genius epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal, and his collective works compose a contribution to later generations of artists rivaled only by that of his younger contemporary and fellow founder of the High Renaissance, Michelangelo.
