12, September 2020 Broken Promises, 4 more years?
Four years ago
candidate Trump made many broken promises and misstatements.
Here are just a few.
“I will build a
great, great wall on our southern border”.
Who will pay for it”?
Thunderous applause, “MEXICO”.
FACT Only a few
sections have been repaired costing about $30 million per mile. The wall can easily
be breached with $50 cordless saws.
Mexico paid zero pesos!
Playing on white insecurity
Trump thundered “hordes of rapists’ murderers and criminals are going to invade
America!”
FACT Immigrants seeking a
better life tried to cross the southern border only to have their children
snatched away and
put in cages.
Immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries were banned.
“We will be a country of law and order.
Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead.” Trump
should follow through on his pledge and resign.
FACT
More than 192,000 Americans have died on his watch. The US has 4% of the world
population and 22% of COVID deaths.
4, “We will repeal and
replace the disastrous Obamacare.”
FACT Another broken promise, still waiting
for TRUMPCARE!
“I will be the
greatest jobs president that God ever created.”
I
think GOD has more important tasks. Remember each day brings you closer to the
day of judgement! Time to repent, otherwise, . .!
FACT
Trump has the worst jobs record of any modern president.
6. “It is time to drain the swamp. This is why I’m proposing a
package of ethics reforms to make our government honest once again.”
The world roars with laughter and pity.
FACT Eight members of his administration
have been charged with serious crimes and Trump and his family have been
charged with ethical and criminal conduct.
“We will build roads,
highways, bridges, tunnels, airports and the railways of tomorrow.”
FACT Another failure.
“We’re going to cut
taxes for the middle class.”
FACT the tax cut only benefitted the wealthy
1%. Recall Sen. Sanders fuming and piercing the air with both hands.
“We will end our chronic trade deficits.”
FACT The trade defects have soared.
“We will completely
rebuild our depleted military . .”
FACT Diverted funds to
build his “beautiful wall” and disparaged soldiers as “LOSERS and SUCKERS”.
“We want to create peace
between Israel and the Palestinians. We will get it done.”
FACT Another failed promise.
FACT Trump’s unilateral
withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran has proved to be a monumental
blunder alienating the European Union. Crippling economic sanctions have
created hardship to the Iranian people and increased hostility towards the US.
Trump has failed on his promise to draft a better agreement.
FACT Trump has ignored
increased Russian cyber and troll intrusions hoping they will help his
reelection.
FACT According to a Whistleblower, the White
House instructed DHS to downplay
Russian threats. Trump has dismissed reports of Russian bounty paid to Afghan
fighters to kill American soldiers. The poisoning of a fierce Putin critic, Alexei Navalny, was dismissed by Trump
intensifying fears that Putin has a choke hold on the leader of the swamp.
Trump’s former “fix-it” lawyer, Michael Cohn alluded to Trump’s financial
entanglements with Putin’s oligarchs.
“Unlike so many who came
before me, I keep my promises.”
Bah
humbug!
