In Russia, people say "He has seven Fridays in a week" about people like Trump. This is said about a person who cannot be relied upon, who cannot be trusted, because he often changes his decisions and does not keep his promises. How this expression came about: In the old days, Friday was market day, when it was customary to fulfill various trade obligations. On Fridays, goods were received, and it was agreed to pay for them on the next market day (the Friday of the following week). Those who broke such promises were said to have seven Fridays in a week.
