Trump's campaign promises

Trump's a monster, no doubt about it. He's a grifter who has not an ounce of patriotism nor the will towards public service in his bloated orange body or his misshapen shriveled soul. That said, unlike Joe Biden, Trump is not driven-- the way his party is-- to destroy Social Security and Medicare.

It seems like every few days I've been writing a post about another broken Trumpanzee campaign promise. This fits right in-- and in a big way since whatever support Trump had from non-racists, this is right at the heart of it. Don Lee reported for the L.A.

Trump makes a big deal about keeping his campaign promises. And, unfortunately, the ones he wants to keep, he does try to keep.
