Donald Trump’s 12 Broken Promises

Read Time:1 Minute, 54 Second

by Michael John Scott

Did you vote for the reality show superstar? Were you full of hope and looking for change? Was confidence in the brash, bold and outspoken billionaire your guiding light to a new America?

If so, and if you read more than Breitbart, or listen to the rational, not the twisted voices of Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh, and watch beyond Fox News, you will know Mr Trump was far more than he claimed. You will know he was, and is, a dissembler of epic proportions.

In the event you’ve forgotten his many promises here’s a quick refresher:

Remember when the so-called President said he was going to donate his salary? Well he just accepted his second paycheck.

Remember when he said Mexico was going to pay for the wall? He has asked Congress to appropriate the $25 billion of taxpayer money to cover costs.

Remember when he said he was going to divest from his businesses? Changed his mind.

Remember when he said he was going to release his tax returns? Changed his mind.

Remember when he said he wasn’t going to go on vacation or play golf? 5 of the last 7 weekends he went on vacation and played golf, costing taxpayers $11.1 million.

Remember when he said he was going to use American steel to build these dangerous pipelines? Russian steel arrived last week for the Keystone Pipeline XL.

Remember when he said would defeat ISIS in 30 days? He still doesn’t even have a plan.

Remember when he said he was going to appropriate money to HBCUs? He lied to get a photo-op.

Remember when he said he was going to drain the swamp of Washington insiders? His cabinet is filled with lobbyists, oil and Wall Street executives.

Remember when he said he wasn’t going to cut social security and Medicare? The Republican bill does just this.

Remember when he said that nobody on his campaign has any communications with Russian government? Seven of his people have now admitted they spoke with and/or met with Russian officials, after they lied and got caught.

Remember when he said that the Obamacare replacement would cover more people at lower cost? TrumpCare will cover fewer people at a higher cost.
