If Trump had kept his campaign promises this time..

[Concerned American]

Trump could've declassified everything the DoJ had, and released it

So could Biden, but he didn't. Hmmmm. Where's all that TDS indignation that should be aimed at Biden?

 

[ChristisKing]

Do you not remember the two scam impeachments? What was done in congress at that time except wasted money for one BS investigation after another. What do you think would have happened if Trump had gone after Hilarity? Hint---NOTHING. The democrats would have blocked it at every juncture and used it as more false justification for the impeachments. All this and it would have been another TREMENDOUS waste of taxpayer $$$ that would have gone nowhere. Think about it April---what politician ever has not made rhetorical statements while running that he/she has not backtracked on after the election. Now think of the ones that actually got something---ANYTHING accomplished that was good for the country. If a potus gets 3 things accomplished in their term that are good for the country--thats a win.

Yikes, that's one of the things that I've been criticizing Trump for. So IOW he wasn't chickening out, he was actually thinking ahead.

That's another thing that I've been criticizing Trump for but blaming Biden as well. Although Trump promised that he was going to start making arrests in connection to the Epstein files. Unsurprisingly Biden never did. Gee,... I wonder why.

 

[YoursTruly]

And with an evenly balanced congress and an obstructionist democrat coalition bent on a scam impeachment, just exactly what did you honestly believe would happen? Are you really this slow?

If Trump and his RINO's had just stuck to their campaign promises, he and his supporters wouldn't have to worry about the witch hunts and impeachments that are coming if/when the dems take the majority. Because the GOP wouldn't be losing the mid terms.

Gas prices would be close to $2. There'd be no wars. Grocery prices wouldn't be climbing as fast as they are. Farmers & ranchers wouldn't be seeing record breaking numbers of bankruptcies.

Trump did this. Not the democrats. Not people like Massie and MTG. And certainly not us MAGA & America 1st people.
But Trump.

you ever going to answer if you support the ending of USAID??

Another similarity between Trump and the democrats. They're starting to stack up.

Is it possible that Trump is just another democrat?

If Trump was a Democrat why would he be fighting for Israel?

 

[YoursTruly]

If Trump was a Democrat why would he be fighting for Israel?

If Trump was a registered democrat, the democrats would support Israel.

cant argue with that logic,,

now what about USAID??

Looks like ^ someone didn't watch the whole clip. If he was at all sincere about it in the first place, and if what you said was his reason for not doing it, he would've responded in a completely different way when the crowd began chanting "Lock her up!" again. Instead he said: "That plays great before the election. Now? We don't care." He outright admitted conning you, yet you still come up with excuses. But whatever. You do you.

You can speculate all you want about what you think he said and meant--why would anything change. You did the same for Biden all the way through his admin. I know, next on your agenda is---"They're all the same, and you're not smart enough to realize it." Good luck with that BC, you're as transparent as a newly washed window.

So then you admit that the democratic party is full of the 2 B's? Bias and bullshit.

 

[egp320i]

Actually, no, I haven't voted since Ron Paul ran for president. But even if I were to vote, I wouldn't be stupid enough to knowingly vote for liars, or anyone who has the red flags of bad character. So I simply disagree with progressive hunter's blasé attitude about corrupt liars in politics. It is that way because people put up with it and continue to vote for it! And it will just get worse, if the public continues to stupidly do just that.

so you give up your right to vote because the absolute perfect candidate is 50/50 D/R

don't expect to ever vote again because that unicorn does not exist and never did

You have the light and dark side........no perfect neutral middle ground

Might sound silly but star wars clearly points out how you can't control both without being consumed by one eventually
depending on how you are leaning

 

[markef]

Trump could've declassified everything the DoJ had, and released it before a judge had a chance to block it.
And charges against democrat criminals has nothing to do with all the spending increases, the wars, high gas prices, regime change, socialism or any of the other things I listed.

You cannot blame Trump for blocking unknown numbers of files with unknown details the Democrats refused to release for decades.

 

[Care4all]

Only pay more for foreign goods. Buy American avoid paying more because of our tariffs.

Ain't life grand?

It's much more complicated, silly one!!! And if tariffed, to get what we need that is a tax on us.

A/I

If global trade were severed, the United States would face immediate, severe shortages in electronics, medicine, and critical infrastructure materials. While the U.S. is a global leader in design and software, it remains heavily dependent on foreign manufacturing and raw material processing.

1. Consumer Electronics (Cell Phones & Computers)
The U.S. does not mass-produce consumer cell phones.
The Reality: Major brands like Apple, Google, and Samsung design their phones in the U.S. or South Korea, but final assembly and component manufacturing happen almost exclusively in East Asia (China, Vietnam, and Taiwan).
Domestic Options: Only niche companies like Purism (the Liberty Phone) perform domestic assembly and circuit board fabrication, but they still rely on some foreign-sourced silicon.
The Impact: Without imports, new smartphones, laptops, and servers would become nearly impossible to acquire until multi-billion dollar factories (fabs) could be built—a process that takes years.

2. Critical Minerals & Metals
Modern life depends on minerals that the U.S. does not mine or process in sufficient quantities.
100% Import Reliance: As of 2026, the U.S. is entirely dependent on foreign sources for 16 critical minerals, including titanium sponge (essential for aircraft and defense) and graphite (essential for batteries).
Processing Monopoly: Even for minerals mined in the U.S., the processing (refining them into usable forms) is often done in China. Cutting off trade would paralyze the production of EV batteries, fighter jets, and medical imaging equipment.

3. Pharmaceuticals
A significant portion of the U.S. medicine supply is imported.
Active Ingredients: Roughly 80% of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used in U.S. drugs come from overseas, primarily China and India.
The Impact: Shortages would hit everything from basic antibiotics and ibuprofen to advanced cancer treatments and life-saving generic medications.

4. Specialized Manufacturing
Semiconductors: While the U.S. is onshoring chip production via the CHIPS Act, many high-end chips and the Advanced Packaging (putting the chips into a final usable form) still happen in Taiwan and Malaysia.

Automotive Parts: The U.S. auto industry is deeply integrated with Mexico and Canada. A total cutoff would stop assembly lines because modern cars require thousands of parts from dozens of countries.

You are a bullcrap artist. However, there are many Trump voters who did not expect an Iranian conflict.

Democrats are OK with damaging Democrat policies but despise anything Trump does because that is what Democrats do for political reasons.

Imagine, when Trump was in office, the oil industry was over a year into a boom cycle. Gas prices were coming down. The US was also in an economic recovery stage. We were in no wars. The GOP had just won the trifecta. The house, senate and white house. Plus the SC leaned right.

There was nothing that could stop Trump from making good on all his campaign promises.

Cheap gas
Releasing the Epstein files
DOGE finding hundred of billions in fraud & waste.
A congress to codify all of that.
Plus massive cuts in spending
The border was going to be secure.
Violent illegals were going to be round up and deported
End the WOKE/DEI agenda
End government funded transgender surgeries.
End the war in Ukraine that was costing us so much

Things were going to be real good.. But within 6 months, Trump started backtracking on those promises. And now, after about 1.5yrs, most of didn't happen. And isn't going to happen. The border is secured. And several illegals were deported. The tax cuts are still in place. No tax on tips or social security. And I'll give Trump credit for getting rid of a lot of government employee's. That's always a good thing

But no spending cuts. In fact spending increased drastically. Kids can still get their trans surgeries paid for due to a loop hole, gas is through the roof, we're in a war and have bombed 7 countries in the last years. Trumps tariff wars have pissed half of Europe & Canada off. Job growth has slowed to about 30,000 per month. (if that many)

I was just thinking, how great things would've been if Trump had just stuck with his campaign promises.

Trump kept all his promises. Democrats look like failures with every Trump success. Millions are fleeing democrat cities what does that tell you

Your BDS is shocking, but hey you are from another W/generation, so we get it. NOT !!

skye is hard core right. She is suffering TDS, but is escaping from it now.
