4 things that were supposed to happen by 2018 because tRump was elected



It is now 2018 and Donald Trump has been president for nearly one full year. Prior to taking office, Trump confidently predicted what the world would look by now. Let’s check in and see how his predictions turned out.

1. “Everybody” was supposed to have health insurance
“We’re going to have insurance for everybody..."

2. America was supposed to be “respected again”

3. The deficit was supposed to “go away rapidly”

“We’re not going to have a $400 billion deficit. That will go away rapidly..."

4. Trump was supposed to have quit Twitter
- Think Progress

You can add those to the collection of grifter sayings and things you can throw in the face of a tRumpster.

Hopefully some who have since seen what Trump is, but I'm pretty sure his popularity level around here is right about the same as the bubonic plague.

With 60 lb bags of drugs flying over it.

Look, really I only want my 60 lbs of drugs, so if someone will tell me how to place my order...

You have to give Trump credit on one point, though. It is now acceptable for people to say "Merry Christmas". I heard it a few times last month.
