I ran across the below list while looking at an article about how the President still hasn’t built any new wall/fence along the southern border. It’s pretty interesting and I would like some (coherent, calm, sincere) thoughts from Trump supporters. Are y’all ok with this?
I hear a lot of Trump supporters say they like him because he does what he says. But does he? Or does he just keep saying it over and over again?
Here are some other things he promised and continues to talk about but hasn’t done. And it should be noted that some are within his executive authority to do on his own, while others could’ve been accomplished during his first two years when the GOP held both chambers of Congress. I’m not sure if this list is exhaustive, but it’s long:
I will build a wall across the Mexican border. (nope)
I will include a citizenship question on the 2020 Census. (nope)
I will order ICE to begin raids after July 4th that will deport millions of illegal aliens. (nope)
I will overturn Obamacare on day 1 of my presidency. (nope)
I will ban all Muslims from entering the US. (nope)
I will negotiate a nuclear free Korean peninsula. (nope)
I will put a 25% tariff on all Chinese imports. (nope)
I will get Mexico and Canada to agree to a new trade pact. (nope)
I will negotiate a new Mideast peace plan. (nope)
I will prevent Huewei from doing business in the United States. (nope)
I will deport more illegals than Obama ever did. (nope)
I will stop Iran from enriching uranium. (nope)
I will label China a currency manipulator. (nope)
I will order the Justice Dept to reopen the investigation of Hillary Clinton. (nope)
I will balance the federal budget 'fairly quickly'. (nope)
I will push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress. (nope)
I will bring back waterboarding. (nope)
I will establish a commission on radical Islam. (nope)
I will allow individuals to deduct health insurance payments from their taxes. (nope)
I will lower drug costs by making drug companies list prices in ads. (nope)
I will lower drug costs by cracking down on fake drug rebates. (nope)
I will repeal the alternative minimum tax. (nope)
I will cancel all funding for sanctuary cities. (nope)
I will release my tax returns as soon as the audit is finished. (nope)
He DID nail down the best SCOTUS appointment in my lifetime in Gorsuch. He lifted business regulations. And the economy is strong. I’m not failing to give him credit where credit is due, but even if you support him and everything he says, you can’t deny he is vastly more talk than walk. And you can’t blame it all on the Democrats. Because, as I said, he had two years of the GOP having full control and still has massive executive authority.
