There is a clip where he goes to visit troops after getting elected, and one of the fascists just laughs at him when he says he's the president and the army has to do what he says. So, I think it was made clear to him who was actually running things right from the start. It's possible that he genuinely believed his platform before the election, but given who his backers were it should've been obvious that they had no interest in any sort of reconciliation.
