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?

Our timeline?!?!! Are you serious? It was Trump himself who repeatedly promised to accomplish miracles IMMEDIATELY. ISIS was supposed to be immediately defeated. Obamacare was to be repealed and replaced with something better immediately. Etc. His words not mine. You can readily find the recordings from the campaign. He lied to you. The wall will never be built either by the way.

I’m not abortion supporting liberal… but Trump’s presidency has been a huge sad joke… one scandal after another and constant, constant lies…never encountered a public figure with such a fluid definition of truth. And no I’m not relying on MSM… I can line up recordings one after the other of Trump constantly contradicting himself. No rational person can deny that he lies like others change socks. That’s not opinion - it’s fact. Just watch his speeches over the past two years - he never can keep a single story straight.
 
It’s been great. I’m almost getting tired of winning. I mean there’s so much to praise:

-one pro-life justice, just one more to put Roe v Wade in the dustbin of history
-ISIS is on the run (amazing how they fold up when the Obama regime leaves town, it’s almost like they were getting help from them or something)
-Improved international relations: Trump hit it off with the president of China, Egypt, Jordan.
-Illegal immigration is down drastically, sanctuary cities are on the ropes.
-Jobs report looking stellar
-Religious freedom protected. No more will little old nuns be forced to hand out condoms like the Obama regime forced. No more will 40 year old men have the “right” to use a bathroom next to a 6 year old girl like the Obama regime wanted.

Terrific, just terrific. And so much more to come.

I love Trump! Not only is he rapidly bringing results on campaign promises, his character is tough as can be. He is easily the most conspired against president but his work ethic and leadership skills will come through to clinch big wins. Despite the evil deeds of the mediaand rabid hate from many, trump will succeed. His story as president will be an inspiration for the ages.

Your love for Trump may yet pay off. If he finds himself in an orange jumpsuit, you could visit him.

Orange does seem to be his color. 😃

On a more serious note, regarding the question ‘How’s Trump for you?’, I would have to say he’s about what I expected. The grotesqueries of Trump’s persona - his pathological dishonesty, lack of transparency / conflicts of interest, and penchant for debunked conspiracy theories - are the hallmark of his presidency. And he’s a complete embarrassment as the ‘face of America’ to the rest of the world.
 
What I find interesting in reading this thread with the thread title’s question in mind is how vastly different some people’s perceptions are of what kind of job Trump is doing. And, for the most part, those perceptions match their prior expectations.

Me, I had very little expectations one way or the other, so I’m never disappointed but occasionally pleasantly surprised. 😛 I haven’t been paying that close attention, though. I gave up CAF and Facebook for Lent, and found that in so doing I very seldom came across news of Trump. And I got along just fine. 🙂

Affordable to whom?
Click to expand...
Affordable to those with pre-existing conditions, in the sense that their premiums were guaranteed to be no different from those without those conditions. Contrast this with the proposed Republican plan which allows the premiums to be higher for those with pre-existing conditions. With the previous guarantee gone, insurers can put all those people in a high-risk pool that is supposed to be sefl-sustaining. But if everyone in that pool has an expensive pre-existing condition, the only self-sustaining premium structure is one in which the premiums generally equal the cost of treatment. This is contrary to the notion of shared risk.
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.

It remains to be seen if the proposed Republican plan does anything for the overall costs. Oh, I am sure the costs will be lower under the Republican plan for those that are healthy. That is because they don’t believe in shared risk. But I seriously doubt anything like what has been proposed recently is going to make treatment less expensive for those with pre-existing conditions.
Obamacare left all the high costs in place and just tried to spread the payments around.

I generally agree. Obamacare was not ideal. It did not do much to address overall costs. But it did extend coverage to more people than had coverage before. That was very popular.
II find it very underhanded all around.

The only thing underhanded about Obamacare was refusing to call a tax a tax.

You haven’t missed anything. The liberals are still unhinged and pulling their hair out because they can’t believe Hillary was so awful she couldn’t beat Donald Trump.
She WAS supposed to win.

What you say is true, however, the MSM and Dems will never give up in their efforts to destroy the Trump administration. Has Trump done everything right? No. But Hillary would have been so much worse. All the accusations that are floating around have no basis in fact at this point in time. But those who want to damage Trump will go to any means to do so no matter to the cost to the country. The idea of true statesmen on either side has long gone by the wayside.

Exactly my point. Nobody wants to talk about Benghazi anymore, or her stupid emails. All crickets.

Oh, I got ya. What I can’t get is why people don’t see this as a broken promise. Plenty of presidents break promises. Why is it so hard to admit this about Trump?

She couldn’t beat Obama either, so what’s your point?

MSM should ignore Trump. Then he’ll have no one to blame but himself or Obama for screwing up the country like he did with many of his companies.

Maybe you have forgotten his promise that he would lose no support even if he shot someone.

I don’t see this as a broken promise because he’s only 4 months into a 4-year term and he has done a lot of other things. With all this attention being paid to a scandal generated purely by a private firm’s examination of Hillary’s server, this might not be the time to go after her anyway.

And another broken Trump promise - he promised he would appoint a special prosecutor. Broken promise. That’s Trump’s broken promise.

Broken record. That’s your broken record. Is anyone going on about aobama’s failure to close Guantanamo Bay over the course of *8 years? *
