I didn’t vote for him and I do care if he fulfills his promises - I hope he breaks most of them, because most of them would not be good for the country. Some few would be good, and I hope he keeps those.

But presumably those that did vote for him did so because they thought most of his promises would be good for the country, so I would have thought they would be upset when he breaks those promises.

Is his term over? When did that happen? If his term is not over, then how can you say there are broken promises?

Because he himself put timelines on his promises. He promised to do any number of things immediately or on his first day. He has not done those things. That is a broken promise.

Why is Gitmo still operating?
 
I don’t understand how this thread was allowed to run for so many pages without a link to a new story.
Have the rules been changed for posting in World News Forum?
 
So then you agree that all this broken promise garbage from the Trump haters is pure hypocrisy?

Yes, Michael, you have very cleverly pointed out that former presidents have also broken some of their promises.

You know, it is perfectly rational and possible to recognize that other presidents were not perfect, and to be glad that Hillary is not president, and still admit that Trump is doing a very, very bad job. That is the situation that many Republicans find themselves in right now. What to do about it is another question, but admitting reality is the first step.

As someone said earlier, you can no longer find that rule posted anywhere. It is either no longer a rule or else it is not being advertised and enforced. My guess is that it is related to the upcoming software upgrades that will be made to the forum later this year. It’s probably a chance to reevaluate and make changes.

I didn’t realize the media had a vote in Congress, or any executive authority.

Trump is the president. He won the election. Now he has to do the job. He needs to figure out how to actually govern before permanent damage is done to the country. Even most of those in his own party realize that. That is why they have been clamoring for him to get a real (and competent) chief of staff, to fill the many vacant positions in the executive branch, and so on. I don’t know if those things would be enough, but I hope he listens to them. I would prefer to see Trump have a successful presidency - really I would. But to say he is off to the worst start of any modern president is a gross understatement. The fact that he has so readily abandoned many of his campaign promises is the least of it at this point.

I guess I didn’t see that post that the rule can no longer be found. Any date set yet for when the upgrades take place?

Fair enough.

I said somewhere, I do not think he abandon his campaign promises, at least not as bad as many past Presidents. I think it is easier said than done and probably are works in progress. In any case, it is still a very young presidency, thus too early to really make conclusion on whether he breaks his promises or not.

Too early to say whether he broke his promise to lock up Hillary “Benghazi” Clinton when that’s all we had to hear non-stop, nothing but Hillary’s emails this and Benghazi that, and Trump doesn’t want to lock her up anymore?

You’d think Chris Christie would be chomping at the bit if Sessions wasn’t up for the challenge.

When’s she going to be locked up? 🤷

Wait, didn’t he already say he’s no longer interested in locking her up?

We won’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing until we see what it is getting replaced with. Initial indications are that the replacement law will eliminate some of the most popular provisions of Obamacare, such as affordable coverage for pre-existing conditions.

Affordable to whom? Yes, I think that people who need help should get it, but this whole thing has been mismanged from the start because they aren’t looking at why costs are so high. Obamacare left all the high costs in place and just tried to spread the payments around. I find it very underhanded all around.

And while some got insurance for pre-existing conditions, others are paying two or three times as much and thus can’t even afford the now-raised deductibles.

When did his presidency end? Its only been a few months. How in the hell can you say he has broken promises? What, because they are not on your silly timeline? Why is Gitmo still operating?

Just search up the things I mentioned, you’ll quickly realize he fooled you all. Also, I like how you basically dismiss the other things I stated. Denial, denial and denial.
