    Did he fulfill his campaign promises or even try? Or did you simply think his campaign promises were ty as well? I mean, if voters elect a guy and that guy does what he said he would do, that's what they wanted, regardless how unsavory the promises (that's on the voters as well). Do you think they got that?
    Do you really think he fulfilled all of his campaign promises or even try?

    He didn't. He didn't come close.

    Strawman from Blake, unusual. I never called them facts.
    I never said you did. Your reading comprehension really blows.

    There's a lot of shuffling around and lashing out, but no one has actually taken the time to outline where he's failed and what would have been a success (based on his campaign, not based on your political leanings).
    He promised a cheaper and best ever healthcare for all Americans. He clearly was never going to be able to deliver that, it's extremely doubtful he even understood the problem at all.

    The promise to return manufacturing to America was also wishful thinking. For anybody that understands even a sliver of how the world economy works, that was simply another hollow promise.

    He also said his hedge fund buddies were going to need to take a hit. Well, not only they didn't, they took at least couple of massive handouts (tax breaks, market +companies bailout when covid started).

    One could argue that none of these things are things Republicans mind or care about, but he can't win with Republican votes alone, so obviously they're all extremely important topics.

    Also torpedoing Obamacare without a replacement in hand is borderline criminal, especially with the current health emergency. That's one point touted as a plus in that list, it's actually a giant negative for America right now.

    What were his promises that he didn't keep?

    15. Almost 3.9 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps since the election.
    16. The Pledge to America’s Workers has resulted in employers committing to train more than 4 million Americans. We are committed to VOCATIONAL education.

    49. Imposed tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum to protect our national security.
    50. Imposed tariffs on China in response to China’s forced technology transfer, intellectual property theft, and their chronically abusive trade practices.
    51. Net exports are on track to increase by $59 billion this year.
    52. Improved vetting and screening for refugees, and switched focus to overseas resettlement.
    53. We have begun BUILDING THE WALL. Republicans want STRONG BORDERS and NO CRIME. Democrats want OPEN BORDERS which equals MASSIVE CRIME.

    Like how he was going to provide healthcare with universal coverage that was so much cheaper than Obamacare and would provide better coverage? Because healthcare was easy.

    8+ million people on Obamacare nowadays. There's a case on the SCOTUS to invalidate the whole law right now and become insta-uninsured. Does that strike you as a good idea?

    And getting treatment is just the tip of the iceberg, the financial ruin that follows never been pretty.

    I was never a fan of Obamacare or how it was rolled out, shoved down our throats. It stands to reason something brought about by force will be taken down by force.

    I'm still not a fan of Obamacare to this day. However, I readily admit that leaving 8 million people now without any insurance is ing criminal. Not just because of coverage, but the entire economic picture.

    Furthermore, the ONLY reason he didn't wipe out Obamacare was his own Congress tripped him (lord savior McCain), when he had majority in both chambers (and wanted to replace it with an absolutely program), he's been trying to torpedo the law ever since.

    So this is something he was never going to deliver on. Even if the SCOTUS rules to wipe Obamacare off the books, he has no plan, or a Congress to pass any replacement, much less the notion that he's going to pass anything cheaper and/or better.

    The accretion of presidential power emerged in the last 20 years. Prior to that you didn't see it much. I expect it to continue exponentially and as a reaction, the judicial branch will be even more activist than they are now.
