Trump?s Campaign promise was BS so why do the supporters still support him?

[NatalieK]

We know he soaks up the tax payers money playing rounds of golf at his estate, but what about all those promises...

Mexico is not paying for the wall, Trump´s not labelling China a currency manipulator or staying out of Syria. And the easiest promise of all, not to question the election results if he won, he lied about that too.

Candidate Trump also promised to eliminate America?s $19 billion. It seemed like bunk at the time, and today, Budget Director Mick Mulvaney admitted as much.

CNBC?s John Harwood asked Mulvaney, ?What about the goal of eliminating the debt, which President Trump at one point said he would do at the end of his second term??

Mulvaney?s responded by dismissing the absurd claim, saying, ?It?s fairly safe to assume that was hyperbole.?

It may be fairly safe now, but Trump was very clear at the time. He told Bob Woodward, ?We?ve got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt?I think I could do it fairly quickly?I would say over a period of eight years.?

The truth is that Trump had no intention of fulfilling that or many (if not most) of his other campaign promises, just as he never truly believed that President Barack Obama tapped his phone or that three million people voted illegally. Now though, his lies are beginning to come back to haunt him with his base.

If we continue to speak up, the resistance should soon have a lot more company holding him accountable for his deceit going forward.

Trump's Budget Director Just Admitted Trump's HUGE Campaign Promise Was A Con



So my real question, why does his supporters still support him? Are they feeling a bit stupid & don´t want to say they were wrong?

why did Obama supporters, support Obama after his first 3 months?

Obama was and will always be the best President of the US. He stuck to his guns, bought crimes down to a low, unemployment down to a low, created policies to help the environment & made a success of his terms. He didn´t BS his campaign.

Noam Chomsky says...

While this is going on in front, the Paul Ryan-style budgetary and planning operations are going on quietly in the back, ripping to shreds any element of government that can help people either today or tomorrow. That?s the point of the destruction of the environmental system. It?s not just the EPA which was slashed. Most of the environmental programs were actually in the Energy Department. Their research and activist programs were slashed very seriously.

He tweets that , so it is true ....

Talk to me about Nato
....... about the FED director
..... about repeal/replace
.... about tax cuts .....

1. He said he wouldn?t bomb Syria. You bought it. Then he bombed Syria.

2. He said he'd build a wall along the border with Mexico. You bought it. Now his secretary of homeland security says "It?s unlikely that we will build a wall."

3. He said he?d clean the Washington swamp. You bought it. Then he brought into his administration more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls than in any administration in history, to make laws that will enrich their businesses.

4. He said he?d repeal Obamacare and replace it with something ?wonderful.? You bought it. Then he didn?t.

5. He said he?d use his business experience to whip the White House into shape. You bought it. Then he created the most chaotic, dysfunctional, back-stabbing White House in modern history, in which no one is in charge.

6. He said he?d release his tax returns, eventually. You bought it. He hasn?t, and says he never will.

7. He said he?d divest himself from his financial empire, to avoid any conflicts of interest. You bought it. He remains heavily involved in his businesses, makes money off of foreign dignitaries staying at his Washington hotel, gets China to give the Trump brand trademark and copyright rights, manipulates the stock market on a daily basis, and has more conflicts of interest than can even be counted.

8. He said Clinton was in the pockets of Goldman Sachs, and would do whatever they said. You bought it. Then he put half a dozen Goldman Sachs executives in positions of power in his administration.

9. He said he?d surround himself with all the best and smartest people. You bought it. Then he put Betsy DeVos, opponent of public education, in charge of education; Jeff Sessions, opponent of the Voting Rights Act, in charge of voting rights; Ben Carson, opponent of the Fair Housing Act, in charge of fair housing; Scott Pruitt, climate change denier, in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency; and Russian quisling Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State.

10. He said he?d faithfully execute the law. You bought it. Then he said his predecessor, Barack Obama, spied on him, without any evidence of Obama ever doing so, in order to divert attention from the FBI's investigation into collusion between his campaign and Russian operatives to win the election.

11. He said he knew more about strategy and terrorism than the generals did. You bought it. Then he promptly gave the green light to a disastrous raid in Yemen- even though all his generals said it would be a terrible idea. This raid resulted in the deaths of a Navy SEAL, an 8-year old American girl, and numerous civilians. The actual target of the raid escaped, and no useful intel was gained.

12. He called Barack Obama ?the vacationer-in-Chief? and accused him of playing more rounds of golf than Tiger Woods. He promised to never be the kind of president who took cushy vacations on the taxpayer?s dime, not when there was so much important work to be done. You bought it. He has by now spent more taxpayer money on vacations than Obama did in the first 3 years of his presidency. Not to mention all the money taxpayers are spending protecting his family, including his two sons who travel all over the world on Trump business.

13. He called CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times ?fake news? and said they were his enemy. You bought it. Now he gets his information from Fox News, Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, and InfoWars.

and so on ......

exactly. a big gaggle of jesus freaks held their nose & voted trump, soley on the SCOTUS.

everyone that voted trump knows he is a salesman. but he said exactly the right things to win the anti-establishment vote from both sides...AKA he took obama swing voters away in the rust belt & won.

the real story of the admininstration is not the bluster. its the young centrist wing led by ivanka kushner. That is something liberals cannot deal with.

Bullshit.

Jobs are returning huh? LOL. After years of our unemployment rate dropping and Republicans telling us how about how "the numbers do not reflect the truth" we have this.....

"Employers added 98,000 jobs to their payrolls in March, an unusually low figure in what has been a strong run of job growth in recent years. They added 219,000 jobs in February, down from the initially reported 235,000. And they added 216,000 in January instead of the previously reported 238,000."

https://blogs.wsj.com/briefly/2017/0...the-numbers-3/

Immigration is plummeting? Well, yeah, it's been on the decline for the past six or seven years. Obama deported more people than any other President.

Law, order and justice are being restored? Well I guess that's true. We are are now beating up airline passengers for buying plane tickets.

We are keeping our promises on the border? That's odd because didn't they just announce today they have no money to pay for any border wall?

Fuck what's good for the country right? 'We don't want to fill in a new form for 5 minutes so fuck brexit!' How small minded, ignorant and egotistical can you be?

And since the corrupt establishment media is anti brexit, thats the media our intelligent mensa duo chose to believe. So every single fake narrative and propaganda piece the MSM pollutes the airwaves with, these 2 eat it up.

wrong. I am very skeptical of the sudden 180 of trump. It looks like the corrupt war mongering puppetmasters behind clinton, bush and obama finally got to him as well.
I was hoping because trump is already rich that they would have trouble to control him. I wonder what made trump cave in to them so sudden.

Btw i knew this could happen, because whenever someone challenges the status quo, weird things happen. The washington war mongering slave drivers go out of their way to silence them, from blackmail to assassinations.

2) that goofy, fake but confident laugh....that got people to believe whatever bullsht he was feeding everyone.

3) overwhelming evidence that he ordered the hit on many people...including Breitbart and the lab technician that was about to reveal the truth about Breitbart. (both were murdered...and mainstream media looked the other way) Obama did it all with that same goofy smile...like an innocent princess.

I 100% agree, democrats are not perfect and they have their share of fuck ups, but nothing even close to how much fuck ups comes from the right.

They use the "both sides are the same excuse " because they can't accept their team is shit so they try to justify their continued support of shit by claiming everything is shit so whys it matter..

I'd never want 100% democrat control just like I don't want 100% republican control. We need at least 2 viable parties, but we need both parties to be fucking sane and competent.. Right now the Republican party is neither.

I thought he ran on..
'They tell you this and give you that ???' were going to change that, it will be huge !

The Republicans are going along only to get the one thing they have been pushing for more than 30 years... Massive Tax Cuts so the only matter is where is the money going to come from to run the government, we are going to cut the size of government somewhere/anywhere except where it needs cut.

That will leave the rest of us to pay for the roads and water and methods needed for business to make profits. While we support their nasty deeds overseas. You know those guys that make money in wars and shed no blood but get the bonuses for doing more of it.
