One of the more brazen slogans Donald Trump trotted out during his campaign was “Promises Made, Promises Kept,” a quippy way of claiming that when he makes a promise, he keeps it. But does he though?

Promises? If it’s convenient. Threats? Usually. And “we” chose this creature—not only to lead our Nation, but also as a symbol for the world of what we admire and respect. Our Nation’s highest honor. We’re in big trouble.
This shouldn't even be news.
We've known he was a liar since before he ever got into politics. Whoever spent time & resources to produce this "news article" should be ashamed.
Okay, let me get this straight. He's pulling back on all the promises he made to his followers that may have actually helped them out (at least in their minds), but he's going full-throttle on the Crazy Shit My Demented Dad Says. Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool.
I'm in the same boat. Working on building a stock pile of DIY, but takes time and money. Hoping the best for you in weathering the orange poo storm coming.
Need a web site with a list of all his promises and then leave a space for a check mark when he accomplishes them. Pretty much build the web site and never need to go back to update it. LOL
I remember an article listing where US students ranked on standardized tests wrt other countries. Most rankings were poor, except for self-esteem, in which they were ranked first.
The more intelligent the more we see the dark aspects of the world, no wonder younger generations are so depressed with all the worlds knowledge in their pockets
Dirty Diaper Donnie doesn't need to be re-elected, so he's going full asshole this time. MAGATs get what they deserve. At least 46% of us will be able to say this shit isn't our fault.
Donald ran his campaign on how there were zero conflicts while he was president(a lie). He promised once he was president again he would basically deliver heaven on earth yet here he is threatening conflicts with both Greenland and Panama while Must sows anger throughout the rest of the world.
No, of course he doesn’t.
NO health care plan
NO immigration policy
NO Mexico “paying for the wall”
NO tax reform that was fair to our middle and working class
NO transparency about his financial dealings with donors
NO reason to buy this “promise”
Liberals politicians are spineless and conservatives pander to the easily manipulated with fear tactics. Trump isn't the cause, he is the result. Trump lies and water is wet, these are facts.
You’d think he’d wait until he’s in office to walk it back. But he literally doesn’t give a sh*t. He’s elected. He knows there’s no consequences. He knows he’s the figurehead of a right wing cult. He doesn’t owe a thing to anybody but himself and will act accordingly, without shame.
There's a little ditty
They're singin' in the city
Especially when they've been on the gin or the beer
If you've got the patience
Your own imaginations'll
Tell you just exactly what you want to hear
Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah
That's how it goes
Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah
Everyone knows...
Imagine how liberating it is to be an unrepentant liar with an R/W media ecosystem to repeat whatever you say & also repeat the new lies designed to cover up the old lies while 77 million people consider you the only source of truth on the planet.
He doesn't keep promises. He doesn't honor contracts. He didn't honor the position of POTUS the first time around. He doesn't honor his wife by being faithful. (If you're polyamorous I don't judge) His is a life of hate, failure, deception, and crime yet the maga cultists celebrate him.
Oh c'mon, that's not fair. Just because he didn't balance the budget, eliminate the federal debt, build the wall, create manufacturing jobs, keep companies from leaving the USA...
How much do you have to see about this low life to know that his word isn’t worth 💩. Just ask all the vendors he’s stiffed over the years. A liar is just who he is and has always been. His word is expediency for the moment and means … absolutely … nothing.
I want the people 🐑 to stand up or raise their hand- if they are dumb enough to believe that when a Professional Grifter Liar Cheater Scumbag speaks - that it always is 💯 true ❗️
Hasn't politics always been a lot of "hot air" during elections to get the voters and then after inauguration only like 1/3 (if at all) promises are kept or even possible to fulfill without cutting funds on other ends? In germany we call that "Luftschlösser bauen" (building castles in the sky) ...
No. He is a lying piece of shit. Especially his financial promises. Nothing trickles down and he will make no effort to get billionaires to pay appropriate taxes while the rest of us will be fucked in the ass.
I have to smile at this. If you work from the premise that every time Trump opens his mouth he lies (undeniably true), it is painfully obvious that he will never keep a promise..
Here’s an easy guide to Trump‘s promises: if what he promised to do helps the filthy rich oligarchs, he will do it. If what he promised to do helps regular working Americans it’s probably not going to happen.
We should all know by now that Trump is a pathological liar. The only thing we can be sure of is that he will inflict as much pain and suffering on all those who oppose him as he possibly can. The narcissistic wound of his 2020 loss has been festering for 4 long years.
We need a Dem who will call him out in “Breaking News”ways (that HE does with his lies and shocking b/s spews) for EVERY thing he has done, said, claimed, promised, charged, adjudicated and pound the daily news cycle. A Dem designated “mouthpiece”. Then pound the truth & repeat. I thinks it’s time.
His first term was a long collection of broken promises. For four years, he promised imminent departure from Afghanistan without following through. He promised a superior replacement for Obamacare. He promised “infrastructure week” and Mexico paying for the border wall, and revealing his taxes, etc.

Did you forget about the "pathological liar" part?

Seeing how Trump and his followers want to ABOLISH gender affirming care for trans women
Is there a prize?
NO health care plan
NO immigration policy
NO Mexico “paying for the wall”
NO tax reform that was fair to our middle and working class
NO transparency about his financial dealings with donors
NO reason to buy this “promise”
Whatever he said during campaign, sounded good for MAGA hats, because they lack critical thinking and understanding the consequences.
Keeping them would have been a backfire.

Not a shocker is it?

Trump lies
You can't imagine it.
It's incomprehensible.
I am watching the Pentagon and what he will do with Mike

Let's see what gets done compared to what was promised.
Pleeeeze 😂
He couldn’t if he tried.
He forgot to say the part for context

So, there's that....😉
Let’s get every dem on FoxNews to relentlessly point this out. Get the narrative going.
Were you asleep during the demonstrations of overwhelming selfishness and corruption during the first term?

When the Mainstream Media starts pointing out more of his broken campaign promises.
The MAGA infighting can continue in earnest.
It was going so well.
