Impossible to please some people.

You do know Trump is not a dictator..no? He has to fight tooth and nail for everything he gets. The government is not on our side.

If the founding fathers gave up as easily as you and your parents, we’d still be paying taxes to England. Where’s your patriotic spirit? Where your sense of fight? You could just do like your parents and give up, he didn’t do everything we wanted (although he fought like hell and tried) but we didn’t get what we want so we give up.

I know right, impossible to please — outrageous to expect Trump to deliver for once. Maybe he can ban some other firearm accessory or tweet out a tweet in support of gay pride month to make up for it.

He promised the world, and Mexico would pay for it. Years later, nothing, and he has caved several times on closing the border, building a wall, etc. He waited until after the GOP lost the House to get serious. Yeah, they were uncooperative. Waiting until the dems had the House...May as well attempt to negotiate with the rain. He knew the government was against us, a swamp, didn’t stop him from promising to make the sun stand still in spite of them at dozens of rallies. If he couldn’t deliver “on time and under budget” he shouldn’t have promised that he could.

As a side note, my dad was the first person in our line to go to college after growing up on one floor of a triple decker, went to war for our country, and worked his way up to a six figure income while raising a family. I wouldn’t say he should be tagged as someone who gives up easily. He simply recognizes that we’re just as disenfranchised now as we ever were and there’s not much point to investing in politics if we don’t even have national borders or the capacity to know how many people living in our country are even supposed to be here.

Excuse me for being demoralized. Our country is marching away from our values at an increasing speed and we can’t stop it. I don’t blame Trump for that, but he shouldn’t promise he can do anything about it if he can’t.
