I was commenting on a post earlier when another member claimed Trump does what he says, I was accused of de-railing the thread when I claimed Trump does not come through all the time.  I was told to make my own thread, so here it is.

Trump runs his mouth a lot.  I think some of his problems would be solved by pausing to think for a while.  If he thought, "does this tweet or claim make me look like a douche?" everytime he says something, then maybe he would embarrass the country less.  At least he is trying to Make America Rake Again.

I made several claims in the other thread.  It's easy to find Trumps quotes on the internet.  Unfortunately a portion of the claims I made are no longer supported by the Trump/Pence campaign page as much of the content is no gone.

Trump called for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the USA; not happening.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/04/24/travel-ban-donald-trump-campaign-promises-president-tweets/542504002/
QuoteDec. 7, 2015: "Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on."
No complete muslim travel ban ever.

He said he would not be the vacation president, looks like he actually is one.
https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/245884-trump-i-would-rarely-leave-the-white-house
Quote"I would rarely leave the White House because there's so much work to be done," Trump, 69, tells ITK. "I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off."

He golfs a ton compared to Obama who he mocked for played golf.

He was unable to cancel funding to sanctuary cities.
https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/01/25/trump-slashes-federal-funding-sanctuary-cities/CEXMyIvNZXEgtDTOOoyn3N/story.html
QuotePresident Donald Trump on Wednesday issued executive orders to build a wall at the Mexican border, crack down on undocumented immigrants, and strip federal funding from the sanctuary cities that protect them, including Boston, Somerville, and Lawrence.
Trying and failing is a broken promise.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/30/politics/judge-ruling-sanctuary-city-law-enforcement-grants/index.html

He was unable to stop the AT&T, Time Warner merger.
Quotehttps://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/21/trump-says-att-time-warner-deal-is-not-good-for-the-country.html
He said he would stop it, but was unable to.

He really hasn't gone anywhere with his promise to investigate Clinton.
https://www.ajc.com/news/trump-clinton-look-what-she-getting-away-with/ysBf1gX8kGwTCcUTuNyiZI/
As long as Clinton can keep giving us her middle finger, then the trump administration has failed to punish her or keep her on a leash.

As far as I know he hasn't brought back waterboarding.
http://theconversation.com/will-donald-trump-bring-back-torture-foreign-leaders-might-need-to-step-up-to-stop-him-70932
QuoteI would bring back waterboarding, and I'd bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.
He goes on to say he would obey the law, but he can help get it changed.

I still can't detuct my health care insurance premiums from my taxes.
QuoteAllow individuals to fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns under the current tax system.

Where are the lawsuits against his accusers of sexual misconduct?
https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/22/politics/trump-says-hell-sue-sexual-misconduct-accusers/index.html
Quote"Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign," Trump said during remarks in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. "Total fabrication. The events never happened. Never. All of these liars will be sued after the election is over."
Trump isn't stupid enough to sue those women.  If he does, then he will have a hard time avoiding the depositions.

We still haven't seen his tax returns as he suggested we would.  It's completely legal to release them during an audit.
https://money.cnn.com/2017/04/17/news/donald-trump-tax-returns/index.html
QuoteMore than a year before he announced his presidential campaign, Trump told an Irish television station that he would "absolutely" release his tax returns if he entered the race.  "If I decide to run for office, I'll produce my tax returns, absolutely," he said. "And I would love to do that."
But as the years go by he creeps further and further away from that promise.

I haven't seen the new child care tax deductions yet.
Quote"The Trump plan will rewrite the tax code to allow working parents to deduct from their income taxes child care expenses for up to four children and elderly dependents," the campaign said in its child care proposal.
This has also been removed from their website.  https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/fact-sheet-donald-j.-trumps-new-child-care-plan

He hasn't cut the current 7 tax brackets to 3.
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-tax-cuts_us_59cad42ce4b02aef6cd5fd04
QuoteThe White House officials said the current seven tax brackets that range from 10 percent to 39.6 percent would be collapsed into three: 12 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent.

No, he never made that claim, that's LSM lies, he staated he would shut down certain countries that support terrorism, which happened to be fro Muscum countries.

Nice try, but using an opinion piece that even states as such is hardly a place to start to validate your point.

How is he breaking a promise if the courts blocked his agenda?

QuoteHe really hasn't gone anywhere with his promise to investigate Clinton.

Wrong again, Hillary is being investigated, but it's no surprise you haven't heard about it when you bury your head up the leftist ass media.

No one really knows because much of what occurs during an interrogation remains secret.

Again, this is not Trup's fault, the gop'E refuses to do what they were elected to do, and we had all three branches.

Trump knows there is a government he has to bend to his will when he makes a promise.  Why don't you know this?  A promise not kept for any reason is a promise broken.  You wouldn't give Obama a pass just because Congress didn't go along with his crazy schemes?  Or would you?

QuoteHe didn't have to, the NY Slimes leaked them.
That is a joke and you know it.  A tiny portion of his returns were leaked by certain asshats.  Trump promised that he would release his returns.  Either he does or he doesn't.  If he wants to go back on his word, that's fine with me.  It's not like it will be anything new from him or any other president.  I claimed that Trump was  not a man of his word and I'm right.

Don't make the promise if you can't influence Congress to do their part.  Saying you tried is just another way of saying you lied.

Is his term up yet? I guess you're having a teenage premature ejaculation over nothing. Come back in 2024 and bitch when his time in the WH ends.

I'll make sure to bring it back up in 2020 or 2024; or in the very unlikely event he is impeached/convicted in 2019.  I think you're going to ban me soon out of spite.  I'll keep this invitation in mind.

So, Trump isn't an authoritarian after all.

This is kind of petty. If Trump is a liar because the courts or the congress prevent him from implementing his polices then every president is a serial liar and in future when campaigning candidates will say "when I am president I will try and do this and I will try and do that."

Not going to happen.

Obama used his pen and his phone to Circumvent Congress...especially on Immigration which is still damaging Our Country.

Nobody cares about Trumps Tax returns, except the left.....even some of them don't really care, but since they don't have anything else concrete to scream about they try pumping it up like a leaking flat tire which will hopefully hold up until one gets to the gas station....or the 2020 election.

I don't think anyone, even Trump himself anticipated the amount of resistience, sabotage and sedition he has experienced since he won the election in 2016.  The Judiciary has done more to thwart Trump especially on matters of National Security and immigration than any other President and makes Congress irrelevant. Then you have the whole Comey/FBI Mueller investigation which is essentially illegal, yet still persists.

In many cases it is not Trump going back on his word it is those Govt officials who are tasked with carrying out the business of the Govt who are going back on their word by betraying their oath of office and putting politics before the Constitution they are sworn to uphold.
