My wife doesn’t like Trump, hates Politicians; but voted for Trump because as she said he kept his promises. Ie, trust a man for what he does, not what he says.....

William Henry Harrison kept 100% of the promises he made while in office. He said he wouldn't wear a coat to his inauguration, and by God he didn't.

Hard to beat someone who bats a thousand.

Tax Cuts CHECK
Leave the Paris deal CHECK
Install a large number of conservative judges CHECK
Bomb ISIS CHECK
Move Israel embassy to Jerusalem CHECK
Get military spending on the rise again CHECK
Cut a significant number of regulations CHECK


Get rid of Obamacare FAIL
Build the wall FAIL
Clear the national debt in 8 years FAIL (to be fair he didn't get 8 years)
Deport all illegal immigrants FAIL
Get our infrastructure back on track FAIL
Leave NATO FAIL
Lock her up FAIL

These are the promises Trump kept, honestly he did pretty good. Someone would have to come up with a longer list than this.

edit: okay, emojis don't work here I guess

Pretty solid review. My only take on it that would be different is that the wall is (and has been) under construction for awhile. I get that it isn’t complete, but that too could be a factor of the timeframe.

What impresses me the most about his term is that he was opposed every step of the way and still managed to put a dent in the list.

Love him or hate him, the man got shite done. Credit to him for getting after it.

I hate to say it but Biden might outdo Trump as far as keeping his promises. Most will probably be in the first week.

George, was the greatest of all time . Put all on the line , life & liberty . If he failed he was either killed outright or to be hung by the British. Obviously would lose his fortune as well .

You are deep seeded emotional issues. You really do need help.

If you disagree with any of those, it's you who is so emotionally attached to Trump's promises that you're not willing to criticize the ones he didn't keep. Blind loyalty's no good.

I am talking about your serious TDS affliction. I don't think you are mentally well. It isn't normal behavior for a man.

Well, to be fair, he's still got time to do that if he becomes president again lol.

Only Calvin Coolidge remotely is close. Maybe Roosevelt, even though his promises came after the fact sometimes.

I'm looking forward to helping you through your upcoming BDS and Stutter Man Bad. I made it through TDS, I'm confident I can help you out the next four years

You won't be helping with anything. I don't take advice from emotionally unstable people. Go knock yourself out. Your guy gets to wreck shite now.

Carry on. I don't have anything else to say to you.

Deport all illegal immigrants FAIL


You think any administration can deport 20 million people in 8 years, much less 4?

quote:

Get our infrastructure back on track FAIL


What do YOU believe "back on track" means?

quote:

Leave NATO FAIL


Anyone who believed this was something more than a threat is pretty dumb. A threat which, by the way, mostly worked as intended.

quote:

Lock her up FAIL


You understand that Hillary DID commit crimes that anyone else would have been convicted on and Trump is not in charge of prosecuting private citizens, correct?

Not a total fail. Got over 400 miles built.

This was never a promise.

quote:

He made many deportations. "All" is an unrealistic goal.

quote:

Leave NATO FAIL


He never said he would leave NATO. He said he would get members to pay their required 2% of GDP. He made progress in that area.
