@georgetakei@universeodon.comAccording to PolitiFact, Trump kept only 23% of his campaign promises during his first term. Now, with weeks to go before starting his second, he’s already walking back some of his biggest 2024 pledges. The Big Picture unpacks the reversals—and what it says about his ‘Promises Made, Promises Kept’ slogan. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/donald-trump-campaign-promises-broken
@georgetakei 23% is actually surprisingly high to me.
This is keeping in mind that there's a lot of Trump's promises I'm really hoping he doesn't keep. Sometimes it works out in my favor that he's a liar.
@georgetakei The more Trump does the opposite of what he promised, the better!
@georgetakei The Orange One told 30,573 lies during his term of office. What do people expect?
@georgetakei
Why would this be a surprise to anyone? A dead man would know it.
@georgetakei Unfortunately, his voters are too stupid to know what "buyer's remorse" is.
@georgetakei I wonder how this is going to be Biden's fault.
@winjay @georgetakei Somehow it will be, even though Trump's tax law was apart of the issue with price increases. But others blamed Biden for Trumps fault. lol 4 years, and the clown will be out of office at least.
@winjay @georgetakei Lets check in with the editors at NYT. I’m sure they have an explanation for how it’s Biden’s fault all queued up.
Any return policy?
@georgetakei
I guess the woman who claimed he would give back all federal tax she paid might be disappointed…
@georgetakei Anyone expected him keep his promises? That is like expecting real rolexes off of the arms of those trope solicitors on the side of the street. People who voted for him were sadly gullible or just simply did not want to vote for a woman. With concealing their agendas.

So, the liar lied. The liar conman lies. So tired of the conman felon liar in my feed.
@georgetakei It's less a promise than a thing that came out of his mouth because he thought it sounded good at the time. The concepts of truth, falsehood, and promises simply don't apply to this guy. Truth is an alien concept to him. I wouldn't bother counting the promises he doesn't keep because he didn't actually make any. He just made noises with his mouth hole.
@georgetakei promise made promis kept is accurate...if you just ignore all the times it wasnt
Now they just have to get the brains trust together to select the worst 25% of his promises.
Personal Opinion!
@georgetakei
I am not condoning anything Trump does. But ALOT of Politicians lie and or back peddle promises they make. They all say what ever they can to get votes. I think Obama was the only President in the past 40 years that kept most of his promises. Ever since Regan in the 80's America and its politicians have slid deeper and deeper into corporate pockets.
@georgetakei he’ll blame the “Deep State”, which is his name for every civil service and judiciary position not stuffed with toadies and yes-men competing to tongue his anus.
Man's never kept a promise in his life, I don't expect him to start now.
@georgetakei The most trustworthy, attractive and successful businessman in the known universe walking back on his promises? Unpossible!
@georgetakei It says a lot less about Trump as it says a lot more about those who voted for him. And this isn't a specific US problem but an issue with most if not all western democracies.
@georgetakei Al Franken called it all those years ago "lies and the lying liars who tell them"
@georgetakei Of course he is only walking back the ones that got him elected. The worst of his priorities are going to go forward and at warp speed.
@georgetakei This must be astonishing to anyone without a functioning memory.
@georgetakei
Campaign promises: only valid during the campaign. Didn't he say that?
He takes the people for fools- and it seems to work.
