Saying something is going to be hard isn’t backtracking unless you don’t know how to read. |
Promising things you can't deliver works in the short term for politicians but eventually comes back to bite them in the a**. Trump is especially prone to making exaggerated promises or claims that can be easily disproven. Here are just some of his more over-the-top "promises." Feel free to bookmark this and come back on Day Two to update us on which of these promises he kept. *Throughout his campaign, Trump repeatedly bragged that he was uniquely positioned to resolve Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In March 2023, he said he could “fix” the war before he was even inaugurated. "I would fix that within 24 hours, and if I win, before I get into the office, I will have that war settled,” the president-elect said in a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity. “100% sure.” *“Starting on Day One, we will end inflation and make America affordable again.” Aug. 9, 2024 / Bozeman, Mont. *He repeatedly told a crowd in North Carolina that he would "rapidly drive down prices" at supermarkets on the day he is sworn into office. “That means we're going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon.” Sept. 5, 2024 / Economic Club of New York *Trump has also vowed to end birthright citizenship—meaning anyone born in the U.S. automatically gaining citizenship—on his first day, acknowledging in an interview with NBC News that doing so may not be possible, given it’s a right enshrined in the Constitution, but saying he wants to undo it via executive action “if we can.” |
There are no longer any Democrat boogeymen. They’re all paper tigers. The party of resistance has been reduced to the party of resignation. They’re all defeated, deflated and in disarray. At this point democrats are too busy eating their own to do anything else. |
I am old enough to remember republicans chasing traditional conservatives out of the party. at this point the GOP is MAGA and MAGA only. |
I am sorry that you actually believe him. He is here to make money for him and his friends. |
Just correcting the misinformation you are posting on this board. Facts matter. |
You better come up with a good explanation when nothing changes. |
|
Fools we watched him do nothing for four years but I'm sure this time he'll be different ![]() |
During his campaign, he said it’d be easy. That he’d do it fast. So, let’s see it. |
Oh MAGA will they always can come up with quick lies and twists of truth....like their orange king |
Trump promised us he would do these things, and he promised us that it would be fast and easy for him to do them. He lied on both counts. |
Be serious. He says he's going to do so many things that are obviously not going to happen. He mostly just spews nonsense. He does the stuff that's good for the billionaires. We have already all seen what he does. |
Well, of course he lied his way into the Presidency. He got his four years, but it'll cost the GOP the House in 2026 and the Presidency in 2028. Along the way, we'll see broken promise after broken promise. |
Doubtful. The congressional map looks better for the GOP and there is lasting damage to the Democratic Party brand from the Biden era. |
