If there is one headline that looks exactly as one would expect a headline about Trump to appear, it's, "Trump is Already Walking Back His Campaign Promises."

Reposted from George Takei

According to PolitiFact, Trump kept only 23% of his campaign promises during his first term. Now, with weeks to go before starting his second, he’s already walking back some of his biggest 2024 pledges. Team Big Picture breaks down these reversals in their latest piece.

He’s not walking back anything, he never intended to deliver them.
Unfortunately too many people are that stupid.

juliadilliard.bsky.social•68 days ago

Of course. Tfg's a pathological liar. We know that.

marcraham.bsky.social•68 days ago

I am totally shocked. He's usually such a straight shooter.

johnrage.bsky.social•67 days ago

People who voted for Trump based on his promises were suckers. People who voted for Trump based on the fact that he is a sexist, racist human being will get what they voted for. Those two groups outnumbered the rest of us rational adults.

We have some lovely piers in the area where I'd like him to "walk back" from.

free2beme.bsky.social•68 days ago

Republicans and MAGA are about to go through some things we have all known and been telling them for years now.
You dance with the devil your going to get burnt.
We have to remember the People have always had the power we just need to wake up and fight !

jeromyo.bsky.social•67 days ago

To be fair.. He waddled them back..

blueskyminer.bsky.social•68 days ago

Considering that he made a DIFERRENT absurd promise to the electorate multiple times each day since 2020, he's got a lot of back-walking to do. No wonder he had to get a move on!

Lol

Every headline with "Trump" in it needs to say "Felon Adjudicated-Rapist Insurrectionist Who Should Never Been On The Ballot Trump"

It was never about the price of eggs; it was always the hate.

javiermt.bsky.social•67 days ago

... Who is going to pay for the WALL. Mexico! Shouted the uneducated ...

shislandinfo.bsky.social•67 days ago

America knew he was a cheat and a liar before it elected him, so I don't understand why anyone is surprised by this.

ojodio.bsky.social•68 days ago

So much for no taxes on tips and Social Security?

ojodio.bsky.social•68 days ago

Gee you mean he lied ?

kevinbabcock.bsky.social•68 days ago

How does that 23% fair against past presidents?

louise007.bsky.social•67 days ago

SNAFU!

This slogan aged like a fucking banana.

frankwp.bsky.social•67 days ago

Facts don’t matter to a Trump voter. You can club them over the head with a 300 pound bag of facts and they will not even wince. This is a cult and cults don’t end well. The fever has to break on its own.

superpeej.bsky.social•67 days ago

This will come as a surprise to absolutely no-one who isn't a member of the MAGA cult.

gabyvon.bsky.social•67 days ago

He has his brainless minions making sure things get done.

jaycee63.bsky.social•68 days ago

That’s exactly the facts and percentage that I showed MAGAts to no avail. Ignorance is a choice and they displayed it every day.

beccakittybear.bsky.social•68 days ago

Only Maga idiots believe any promises that Trump has made & they will not care that he was lying.

jayne4freedom.bsky.social•68 days ago

Manufactured campaign promises shouldn't be a thing.

notwellbehaved.bsky.social•68 days ago

This should not be a surprise to anyone. It’s a pattern.

reallyfasmiller.bsky.social•68 days ago

No surprise to me, But I wonder if any of the MAGAs who voted for him even notice how he walks back many of his promises. And if they do notice, will they believe it?

catvision.bsky.social•68 days ago

The difference this time is that the Heritage Foundation will go on forcing the issues that most matter to them. We all knew the promising, reassuring stuff was BS anyway.

alwaysmarycoogan.bsky.social•68 days ago

how do we get this message out this time?

golfingjourney.bsky.social•68 days ago

cateyezgreen.bsky.social•68 days ago

I know this is cynical but based on past actions: if trump keeps a campaign promise it’s by mistake.

thequeen23.bsky.social•68 days ago

I hate his face.

ac-californian.bsky.social•68 days ago

Well, y’know, Trump said what he needed to say to fool people into voting for him and now he doesn’t care if he breaks his promises because it’s too late - he got what he wanted.

jennybing53.bsky.social•68 days ago

But really, who believes him?

kac6.bsky.social•68 days ago

They voted him in after so many broken promises,lies, cruelty, porn stars, felonies, rape and more. They still voted him in. It didn't matter.

notwellbehaved.bsky.social•68 days ago

Hate is a strong emotion. Hate supersedes all of his trespasses.

rjc1084.bsky.social•68 days ago

Empty words Presidency 2.0!

jennsemperamare.bsky.social•68 days ago

Of course he is and he did but his followers of his cult don’t care. I feel it’s hopeless at this point.

targhair.bsky.social•68 days ago

Because what else would a liar do?

hudsonnash.bsky.social•67 days ago

Seriously, who is surprised by this?

elizmadsen.bsky.social•68 days ago

45 is very proficient at lying to get what he wants (eg, getting elected). He is NOT very good at actually keeping his promises.

n0s0ul.bsky.social•68 days ago

He uses weasel language with the same ease as breathing.

outtaflushing.bsky.social•67 days ago

News: no one's gonna hold him to a damn thing except making libs mad and making himself rich. All those promises didn't mean anything, MAGA world knows they were just to get him elected. They're laughing at that headline.

sabelonada.bsky.social•67 days ago

Trump Lied, much more succinct and applicable to like 90% of anything that spews from his toothless maw.

debs249.bsky.social•68 days ago

Has he had a stroke?! His face always seems to have a lopsided scowl as apposed to a usual resting bitch face
