    In 2016, Trump repeatedly promised to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall that was 1,000 miles long. What ended up coming together was 453 miles of border wall, the vast majority of which was reinforcement of existing walls. Trump also vowed that Mexico would cover the cost, which it did not.

    Trump also made promises to close 'open borders' of the Biden Administration in 2016 that he wasn’t able to keep, deporting fewer people than President Barack Obama did in each of his two terms, according to federal government data.

    He promised to 'simultaneously repeal and replace' ACA (Obamacare) but he never could produce a replacement plan. His actual plan was only to repeal but John McCain saw through that idea and killed it.

    OK, Trump as dictator lovers. go!!! :rolleyes:

    And he complains now about Bidenomics? Trump's BIGGEST broken promise was to end our debt. Trump initially pledged to eliminate the US debt in eight years. Later he scaled down the promise to reducing a portion of the then - $19 trillion dollar debt. He didn’t specify the extent of the new goal and under Trump the debt and deficit got worse. According to the Government Accountability Office, the federal debt was at $26.9 trillion as of September 30, 2020. The GAO attributed the increase between 2019 and 2020 to the federal government’s Covid-19 pandemic response, but the national debt was rising even before the pandemic. By the end of 2019, the federal debt was at $22.7 trillion, more than three trillion more than right before Trump took office.

    As much as I hate that lying goon, any president would have had the debt rise with a pandemic. He doesn't have the education or experience to have dealt with pandemic economically, nor did his "advisors" bother to help, either.

    What the Dems need to do is start running ads on WHY we have inflation and what Biden has done in these past 4 years compared to Dickhead Orange Fuckwad. The average American dumbass believes the GOP hype about how the sky is falling and Biden hasn't done shit but make prices rise at the Piggly Wiggly.

    Sadly, the average American is the result of a bad education system combined with too much right wing Christian propaganda. Added to that, they don’t even look at the rest of the world in terms of actual living conditions and history. They think Putin is some jolly guy who would bring order to the world while allowing them to continue living like they are which is bitching and moaning about everything. Big surprise, guys. Let Trump (aka Putin) gain power then get ready for real authoritarianism and no more back talk! And don’t get me started on how soon their guns would get taken away by an authoritarian regime. So sad it’s almost humorous.
