Exclusive: Trump list shows 319 'results' and promises kept in three years


Trump claimed he completed the wall during his town hall the other night so I'll take any Trump list with a grain of salt.

Bruh Trump was swept into office with both the Senate and the House on his side and singing his praises. Don't gimme the government was against him mess. He didn't take advantage of those first two years and that's on him.




They didn't kiss his ring, or his fat arse, and give him every single thing he wanted so Trump does what Trump does; Went full attack mode calling them childish names in a bid to get them to come to heel.

Amazingly it didn't work.

*Amazing only to Trump and his cult. Continually denigrating someone is not the way to get them to work with you.

He did indeed. He also accomplished some other things. But he was too timid his last two years. I got tired of hearing “I’m monitoring the situation “.

He was good for the economy. Good at increasing the deficit too.

He won’t execute on his campaign promises this time around either though.

What gives you any idea that his people will win? His people were roundly defeated at almost every turn in 2022.

This was just one quarter, not over 4 years. Not a big accomplishment by any means.

A lot of those "accomplishments" listed are not really accomplishments. Just a bunch of chest thumping.

And what has the current president done that he can "thump" his chest about?

Trumps top 5 promises:

Repeal Obamacare. The Republican Senate (that the left likes to say was on his side) voted to not repeal.

Build the wall and make Mexico pay for it. Would have been completed his second term but Mexico didn't pay for it.

Suspend Immigration for terrorist countries. Yep.

Tax cuts for all. Yep.

Lowered Business Tax. Yep.

So over half of the major promises were kept. One was sabotaged by his own party, and one was half kept. Far cry from "almost all".

If you actually look at his promises and filter out the ones that he actually had the authority to do, he kept the majority of them. Trump doesn't control the federal budget. He can't enact term limits.But on things that he could do like renegotiate NAFTA and achieve energy independence. He did.

Trump spent like a Democrat. There is not a lot of difference in Trump spending and Biden spending. This spending caused the inflation you and I are seeing now. Inflation is wiping out the benefits of tax cuts pretty quick.

He didn't make Mexico pay for the wall. He made me pay for it. That wasn' the deal.

He didn't get Obamacare repealed.

Roaring? Not sure about that, but for 3 years he had a good economy going. But then he pissed it down his leg in 2020 and ruined his chances at reelection. That matters. A lot.

There’s things trump did that I didn’t like. But to sit here and say he wasn’t a good President and he wasn’t good for America is idiotic. America First. Immigration Policy. EPA Regulation rollbacks. Yes the deficit rose but it has increased every year since Clinton. People say “Oh but he was a business man. He said he was good with money”. Yea and Obama said he was gonna bring Hope and Change and look how that turned out. People say a lot of shite trying to get elected. No wars. More money in my pocket. Secured borders. Bright future for my family. Trump checked all those boxes for me. Give me a guy with Trumps America First mindset and policies, someone who speaks on unity and not division (something the last three presidents haven’t done), and someone who will seriously clean house in the FBI, CIA, and DOJ and we might actually get this country back on track.

The fact is Trump would’ve won re-election with Reagan like numbers in February 2020. Then came the China Virus. He did what he could but was hamstrung by losers and terrorists like Fauci. I’m 100% ready to get him back in there. Especially considering what’s happened since he left the White House. Get on board or go sit on the terrorists side. Doesn’t really matter to me. It’s happening pussy.

MintBerry Crunch is a flaming idiot!
Were you living in a cave when Trump was in office? You must be an avid CNN viewer.
You won't be able to vote for DeSantis, cause it will be Trump for the Republican Party...the greatest President ever to hold the office in my lifetime, and yours!
