Is Anyone Else Sick Of...

Is anyone else sick of hearing that tRUMP is doing exactly what tRUMP said he would do?! Everyone including Brokaw (on Fallon) has been saying that! How exactly is he doing what he said he would do?? When he was campaigning and he said that he would save Carrier jobs, he didn't say that it would be the residents of Indiana footing the bill! When he said that Mexico would be paying for the wall, he didn't say that it could be because he may impose a 20% tax on Mexican imports that we ultimately will pay for the wall because of higher costs passed along to us by the companies that are importing the goods! When he was campaigning, he said he would "drain the swamp." He didn't say he was going to overflow it, and that is exactly what he's doing! So, please tell me how he is doing exactly what he said he would be doing!!!

although he's met a lot of resistance.

He's still pushing the Wall in spite of being made a fool by Nieto. He's terrorizing people from the middle east in spite of several orders from the Courts to stop. He's bowing down to Wall Street and Big Pharma-- woops, what happened? He said he'd do the opposite with them. Hmm... I'm trying to be kind to the bloke, but it's impossible.

Anyway, he said he'd never forget the forgotten masses, then immediately forgot about them.

His big claim is that he'll correct international trade agreements. Oh, he said he'll "study" NAFTA. But "Trump" and "Study" used in the same sentence doesn't translate into anything understandable. He DID say he'd get out of the TPP, so he's got the consistency of a broken clock.
