Remember when the so-called President said he was going to donate his salary? Well he just accepted his second paycheck.
---> Trump is having members of the media vote on which charity will get the money (so they can't complain who he gave it to -- that is literally his stated reason for that). It will then be donated to that charity at the end of the year.
Remember when he said Mexico was going to pay for the wall? He has asked Congress to appropriate the $25 billion of taxpayer money to cover costs.
---> He said during the campaign that Mexico would pay for it indirectly.
Remember when he said he was going to divest from his businesses? Changed his mind.
---> No such claim was ever made. What he said was he would be turning the running of the company over to his sons, which he has. Ivanka has also left given her husband's role in the Trump admin.
Remember when he said he was going to release his tax returns? Changed his mind.
---> He has said all along that more information is in his FEC financial disclosure documents than is on a tax return. He has gone back and forth about releasing the tax returns, suggesting it is a media publicity game for him.
Remember when he said he wasn't going to go on vacation or play golf? 5 of the last 7 weekends he went on vacation and played golf, costing taxpayers $11.1 million.
---> Trump has not taken a vacation yet. He takes his wife and Baron to the Winter White House in Florida and meets with VIPs there.
Remember when he said he was going to use American steel to build these dangerous pipelines? Russian steel arrived last week for the Keystone Pipeline XL.
---> This was an oversight by Trump's people. The contracts had already been signed under Obama and much of the pipes already delivered. He has, however, ruled that all future pipelines will need to have US steel.
Remember when he said would defeat ISIS in 30 days? He still doesn't even have a plan.
---> How would you know if there was a plan? If you know, then ISIS also knows. That makes no sense. If there was a 30 day plan, the military may not have agreed with it. Trump was very straightforward in letting the Pentagon do what they think is best and not getting in the way of that like Obama did.
Remember when he said he was going to appropriate money to HBCUs? He lied to get a photo-op.
---> The order moved oversight of HBCUs out of the DoE and gives the Trump admin direct authority to appropriate the funds when it comes time for that.
Remember when he said he was going to drain the swamp of Washington insiders? His cabinet is filled with lobbyists, oil and Wall Street executives.
---> He has the most successful cabinet in US history. Nobody in his cabinet is an establishment Republican. Thus the swamp was in fact drained at those positions.
Remember when he said he wasn't going to cut social security and Medicare? The Republican bill does just this.
---> "Cuts" imply a loss of actual benefits. Will not happen.
Remember when he said that nobody on his campaign has any communications with Russian govt? 7 of his people have now admitted they spoke and/or met with Russian officials, after they lied and got caught.
---> Hillary's campaign was also in contact with the Russians. It is perfectly normal for campaigns to be in contact with governments all around the world so that they aren't entering office completely blind. As much as libtards want the Trump contact with Russia to have been about rigging the election, only a delusional snowflake would believe that.
Remember when he said that the Obamacare replacement would cover more people at lower cost? The AHCA that the GOP and 45 are now pushing; they now admit will cover fewer people at a higher cost.
---> Trump has been very straight forward in saying that the GOP plan is a new starting point; that it is more sustainable than Obamacare.

You're very intelectually dishonest in every response here, not to mention factually incorrect in most. Psychologically you have cognitive bias and a systematic error of inductive reasoning known as
confirmation bias syndrome.
I was excited at first there could be a good back and forth, despite you starting your response with an insult. As I read on and saw you go off the rails making excuses instead of acknowledging that Trump might not have met even one goal.
Trump said he wouldn't take a paycheck.
Trump is taking a paycheck.
He lied.
A very simple verifiable fact. Trump lied.
Trump didn't say he'd take a paycheck hold it until the end of the year gaining interest on the money, and donate to charity at the end of the year (likely his own Trump charity). He said he wouldn't take a check. Period.
Trump said he wouldn't take a paycheck: he lied.
Very simple. Easily verifiable, because he's taking a paycheck. He lied.
You're the kind of guy that will point a gun at someone and ask for all their money. The old lady will ask "why are you robbing me?" and you'd say "I'm not robbing you, I'm just asking for your money". She'd ask "Why do need my money" you'd say "I'm just asking for your money I don't need it". She'd ask "Why are you pointing a gun at me?" You'd say "I'm not pointing the gun at you I'm holding it in a westwardly direction" she says "Why are you taking my gold necklace and stealing my diamond earings?" you say "these are mine you were just borrowing them". She hears a loud bang! and asks "Did the gun go off" you say "I'm not sure" she sais "I'm bleeding" you say "I think that's ink" she falls to the ground and sais "I'm dying" you say "You just look sleepy"
