Lol. Trump kept some of his promises. RATs keep none, unless they are destructive promises.

I believe “Mexico paying for the wall” was not that they’d send a check, but rather through the new trade agreement that Trump did get done.

“...make Mexico pay for it”
Yea we knew that was never going to happen.


I agree - so what was the point in him saying it?

The author is an idiot.

I didn’t expect Trump to fulfill his “campaign promise” to have Bowe Bergdahl tossed out of an airplane from an altitude of 30,000 feet, either.

he had the swamp to deal with.

Things have changed. 2024 Trump campaign slogan: Build the swamp!

Trump said, “Not drain the swamp, in this case you have to build the swamp.
In this case we’ll build one.” --October 29, 2023 Souix Falls City, Iowa
Can't make this stuff up.

So I’ll guess that this dope wants me to vote for the crook who proceeded to sell the unfinished portion of the wall as scrap ?

There are so many holes in this Washington Examiner piece. Back then the dems wouldn't cough up $5 billion for a wall. Seems like chump change now.

Zachary Faria is not smart enough to understand American politics. Zach said, “He lied to you about the biggest promise he made last time.” False. Trump told the truth about the wall and built 60% of it.

Trump was saying that Mexico was indeed paying for the border wall.

Trump was right again Mexico had to pay it’s army of 25 thousand to guard it from their side.

He know how trade works

I never expected Mexico to pay or Hillary Clinton to be locked up.

It was enough that illegal immigration was curbed and Hillary was kept out of the White House.

If it mattered, it would have been possible to propose taxing postal money orders to foreign countries and say that Mexico was paying for the wall, but Congress wasn’t likely to pass such legislation.

I do wish Trump would stay on message (or get on message to begin with) and resist the temptation to show off his cleverness.

The guy who wrote this should just get repeatedly punched in the mouth for lying.

Liars need to get punched in the mouth.

You are an ordinary Trump Derangement Syndrome golem. Believe me when I tell you that there is nothing special about your TDS.

People like you want this kind of abuse, and here it is, with more to come...

He DID fight the swamp, and in case you haven’t noticed, he hasn’t surrendered to it. He’s been fighting the swamp for 7 years. Pay attention.

Yup—Hillary is still walking around—after the most blatant national security breach in the history of the country with her home brew server.

The laws are not the biggest problem. The government’s unwillingness to enforce them, is.

Both are a problem. We currently have laws that favor it at the federal and state level?
