Broken Promise #7: Trump promised to bring down the debt "fairly quickly"
Barring the kind of hyperbolic growth Trump has promised and economists have disputed, Trump's budget would do little to combat the national debt. Rather, it would potentially increase it.
This thread has 70 posts. It would be handy if any other Broken Promises submitted or discussed by others in this thread were listed or summarized in the first Post or 2 of the thread, otherwise it would take a while to search through the whole thread to find mentions.
I don't know if these 2 have been mentioned:
Relocating the American Embassy in Israel. Apparently Trump promised during the campaign that he would move the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Israel's Capital city. I have heard that he has now decided to break this promise. Although it might mean that he'll move it to another city (there has been much discussion), I gathered that it meant that he won't move it at all.
Rebuilding the military (Department of Defense). He had promised during and after the campaign that he would restore funding to the DoD to rebuild/restore the dilapidated strength, material, and resources of the military to a state of readiness. Senior officers seem to claim the budget as submitted fails to even attempt this.
How's that for Libtard News!

Even Colbert thanked Trump last night.

Quote:Sometimes I suspect that Libtards have forgotten - or at least feverishly deny to themselves - that THEY hand-picked Trump to be the Liberal lifelong Democrat to represent the GOP in the election, specifically to be Hilliary's foil for her annointment. Trump was the one candidate that they supported, tilted the news for, and even voted for in the GOP Primaries.

Now, when us conservatives are sitting back to see what plays out, the Libtards are the ones whining the most!
Get a grip.

Where can I find a list of Trump's promises, in context? Did he list them somewhere? Or is this a grab-bag of random statements that may, or may not, be an accurate rendition in context?

Donald Trump’s Budget Breaks These 7 Campaign Promises
by Jane C. Timm
When the White House officially unveiled its 2018 budget Tuesday, President Donald Trump's budget director took pains to insist that the blueprint represents campaign promises kept.
Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said that the president is making good on his vow to save Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, among other things, and said that they are not kicking anyone off who needs the programs.

Trump Budget Proposes Cuts From Safety Net He Promised to Protect 1:34
Yet deep cuts to many aspects of the American safety net indicate otherwise.
Here's where the president's proposal breaks his promises — and at times his own self-proposed contract — to voters.
Broken Promise #1: Trump vowed not to cut Medicaid
Trump's budget would cut Medicaid by a lot, despite the president telling the Daily Signal days before launching his White House bid, "I'm not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican and I'm not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid."
The administration proposes reducing spending on Medicaid programs by more than $600 billion over the next decade, a massive cut that appears to go on top of $839 billion in Medicaid cuts included in the House health care bill Trump is supporting.
Mulvaney insists that the proposed reduction in spending isn't a cut — it's simply growing less than the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office expects the needs of the program to be. "There are no Medicaid cuts in terms of what normal human beings would call cuts, we are not spending less money than we did the year before," Mulvaney said.
Broken Promise #2: Trump said he wouldn't cut Social Security
Trump's budget proposes slashing the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), a $31.4 billion change to the program that pays monthly benefits to over 10 million disabled individuals under the retirement age.
Mulvaney argued that SSDI isn't "what most people would consider to be Social Security" and said he would "hope" less people receive the program once they remove individuals who "should not" be getting it. It's unclear how the administration determined there is that much fraud in the system.
Broken Promise #3: Trump said he'd fully fund the border wall
The president promised to fully fund a border wall, with plans to make Mexico pay for it later, in his "Contract With the American Voter." The president's budget would allocate $2.6 billion for planning, designing, and constructing the border wall and its surrounding securities, but Republican leaders estimate the wall could cost as much as $15 billion.
"While we did not get as much money as we wanted for 2017 omnibus we did get a lot," Mulvaney said. "We are going to continue to press on."
Broken Promise #4: Trump promised to cancel all federal funding to sanctuary cities
This is another contract promise. Trump's administration has tried to restrict funding to so-called "sanctuary" cities — jurisdiction that don't enforce federal immigration priorities and cooperate fully with federal authorities — but their efforts were halted by the courts.
This budget doesn't include any kind of limit on federal funding, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions narrowed the scope of Trump's executive order on the issue in a memo Monday.
Broken Promise #5: Trump said he would increase funding for treatment of PTSD
Trump's budget would increase funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs, but the budget proposal doesn't appear to focus money on PTSD or mental health issues.
It would, however, slash $NOTIFY: N | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
There are only three promises that I want Trump to keep. (Do you remember what they were? I repeated them often enough!) The rest of them ... well, being domestic issues I believe they were out of his control in any case, and in the hands of Congress.
So given that the Dems can stalemate much of the GOP agenda in Congress, I was hoping ... expecting ... they'd be broken/ unfulfilled.

Trump is not the problem. He set himself against the Deep State's agenda. And the Deep State's been heading for WWIII for years.
As for you, you're just a Deep State useful idiot, furthering its agenda. So I hope you enjoy cesium in your coffee. You've earned it.

Signym’s never used blog is at http://fireflyfans.net/bloglist.aspx?u=1606
1kiki’s is http://fireflyfans.net/bloglist.aspx?u=41207
I picked this as an example of a Blog Entry. It's a big idea, succinctly expressed:
The American working class has strongly supported the wars undertaken by the United States, and it can see that by never winning them, the United States has always lost them. The American heartland has always been emotionally invested in global power. Successive defeats in war left deep wounds in its collective consciousness, as did the indifferent respect paid to veterans returning from the battlefields. That the country with the world’s most powerful military had so often been unable to prevail over its enemies, the heartland attributed to faint-hearted and feckless leadership. Hurt pride resulted in simultaneous calls for a complete withdrawal from foreign adventures, and for an unrestrained use of military force. Leaders such as Trump seem to emerge easily in countries with a colonial past—the United States, France, the UK, the Netherlands, and also Russia. Collective memories of being at the center of the world, or at least of a world of one’s own, seem to make it more difficult to accept relegation to the status of one country among others.
O wie ist alles fern und lange vergangen (Oh, how far away and long has passed) is a sentiment that an entire people can share.
