Trump: Six Months Of Broken Promises

1. He told you he’d repeal Obamacare and replace it with something “beautiful.” You bought it. But he didn’t repeal and he didn’t replace. (Just as well: His plan would have knocked at least 22 million off health insurance, including many of you.)

2. He told you he’d cut your taxes. You bought it. But tax “reform” is stalled. And if it ever moves, the only ones whose taxes will be cut are the wealthy.

3. He told you he’d invest $1 billion in our nation’s crumbling infrastructure. You bought it. But his infrastructure plan, which was really a giveaway to rich investors, is also stalled.

4. He said he’d clean the Washington swamp. You bought it. But he’s brought into his administration more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls than in any administration in history, to make laws that will enrich their businesses, along with former lobbyists, lawyers and consultants who are crafting new policies for the same industries they recently worked for.

5. He said he’d use his business experience to whip the White House into shape. You bought it. But he created the most chaotic, dysfunctional, back-stabbing White House in modern history, in which no one is in charge.

6. He said he’d close “special interest loopholes that have been so good for Wall Street investors but unfair to American workers.“ You bought it. But he picked a Wall Street financier, Stephen Schwarzman, to run his strategic and policy forum, who compares closing those loopholes to Hitler’s invasion of Poland.

7. He told you he’d “bring down drug prices” by making deals with drug companies. You bought it. But now the White House says that promise is “inoperative.”

8. He said that on Day One he’d label China a “currency manipulator.” You bought it. But then he met with China’s president and declared “China is not a currency manipulator.”

9. He said he wouldn’t bomb Syria. You bought it. But then he bombed Syria.

10. He called Barack Obama “the vacationer-in-Chief” and accused him of playing more rounds of golf than Tiger Woods. He promised to never be the kind of president who took cushy vacations on the taxpayer’s dime, not when there was so much important work to be done. You bought it. But in his first 6 months he has spent more taxpayer money on vacations than Obama did in the first 3 years of his presidency. Not to mention all the money taxpayers are spending protecting his family, including his two sons who travel all over the world on Trump business.

11. He said he’d force companies to keep jobs in America. You believed him. But despite their promises, Carrier, Ford, GM, and the rest are shipping jobs to Mexico and China.

12. He said he’d create coal jobs. You believe him. He hasn’t. But here’s what he has done: Since 1965 a federal program called the Appalachian Regional Commission has spent $23 billion helping communities in coal states fund job retraining, reclaim land, and provide desperately needed social services. A.R.C. helped cut poverty rates almost in half, double the percentage of high-school graduates, and reduce infant mortality by two-thirds. Trump’s first proposed budget eliminates A.R.C.

Nice spin on reality. I'm not going to waste my time picking your distortions off one at a time since you won't pay any attention, anyway. Suffice it to say that there is a reason that 96% of Trump voters (still trying to one of those in the 4%) that are glad we voted for him, and so far will be voting for his re-election.

But you keep listening to fake news and preaching to the hate-Trump choir, they will love you for it.

Jhs is right on the money. This is the sweet spot. Keep up the good work.

I just hope there isn't 8 years of outright LIES, like the previous administration.

the New York Times will not publish Alan Dershowitz because Dershowitz is supposed to be a life long liberal and is a staunch Trump supporter, and defends Trump every chance he gets.

Dershowitz is not a Trump supporter if Trump is wrong on the law. Dershowitz is a self-admitted liberal in what he would like to see, but never lets that cloud his judgement as to the law. He doesn't support Trump on every thing, but does if the law supports Trump's position.

And hates every minute of it.

As an example, Dershowitz is on record as strongly opposing most forms of individual gun ownership. But he says that the only way to achieve that is to admit that the 2nd Amendment allows a wide range of gun ownership, and the only way to change it is to amend the Constitution.

The Dersh has not changed one iota. His views still lean to the left, but he believes the law is more important than politics. That's why he has been defending President Trump against all the liberal nonsense.

Trump has made a Spectacle of Himself.... By that I mean a Lens for all who care to clearly see how Fugged Up the DC Swamp is... How entrenched the Political Class is. And how down and dirty the Media has become to protect it.

Trump has done much... but we don't hear about it or it's a line or two buried in the hysteria and boogie-ism of Russia Mania.

President Trump... will not walk away. These baseless attacks only make his resolve to MAGA all the more harden.

Despite how much we are barraged with fake news, the people know what he has accomplished. And that's all that really matters.

I just read the polls and other fake news and laugh.
