The word i think start from D but i could be wrong. Its is used to describe politician who duped people by making tall promises but don't do anything. Please Help


Solution 1:

I guess the word you are remembering is demagogue. However, this one doesn't mean what you said. A demagogue is a politician that appeals to what people want, or think they want, as opposed to one that follows policies that are logical, or reasonable, even if unpopular.
