Yeah, well. Trump has joined the club, now. He's already breaking campaign promises. Soon, you won't be able to tell Trump from all of the other puppets.
Anybody who seriously believes what Trump promises should go and see a doctor. Preferably a psychologist.
Hyperbole,indeed! Just can't help letting the world know there are now 3 screws loose on the world!
Havent you spent the entire thread saying what a calamity it would be if he got in because of the types of promises he was making ?
I said no such thing. My comments were virtually all to do with his glaring character deficits.
I think that various people have said that it will be a calamity for various reasons.
It's impossible to pin him down on any policies, so it's tough to criticise those.
Everyone linked with senior positions has been awful so far, though.
Nutcases, failures and lobbyists to a man (or woman in Palin's case).
As if Little Englanders didn't have enough **** to spout already, they've now started using Trump's win as an excuse to spout a whole cloaca's worth more.
Case in point, I've seen several people bringing up Trump's course in Aberdeenshire just to smear the SNP, with some going as far to say Alex Salmond was behind the whole thing and was going against the wishes of the locals in doing so - which is a complete and utter lie, as anyone who isn't a monumental ****wit would either know or have the mental faculties to check the facts of the case.

There is no doubt that Trump got many votes based on statements he's made that he is unlikely to carry out. What do they call it? Post-truth politics or something? Who is going to hold the guy to account for not doing what he said? So many questions, no satisfactory answers. You can just see the interviews with Trump supporters in the future when he fails to deliver saying that it was congress or some other group that is to blame, not the policy in the first place.
I dont see how he can be criticised for reneging on his promises if he hasnt made any.
Which is it ?
Trump didn't have any policies, so they can hardly blame him if he doesn't stick with them.
He was a Rorschach test for many of his supporters, who read whatever they wanted into his rambling nonsense.
He often contradicted himself in the space of a single comment or sentence.
The best example? Maybe this:
"There can be no discrimination against gays. I'm against gay marriage."
Er, what?
Again, are we now supposed to be angry that he's letting down the people we've spent the last few months labelling as "deplorable" ?
I won't criticise him for reneging on promises and haven't said that I would.
The only one that I can think of him really making is the wall and that's a complete joke, anyway.
Never going to happen, nor should it.
It would cost an obscene amount of money, take decades to build and then cost even more to maintain.
They'd still fly in, come in on boats, bribe their way in or find a way through or under it.
It's a ludicrous, stupid idea that you'd expect from a child.
During the debates he said he would send Hillary Clinton to jail, and he was backing away from that during his acceptance speech
His website stated that he would deport Muslims, and that has been deleted from his website in the hope nobody remembers it
He said he would dismantle Obamacare, now he's saying that he's open to keeping parts of the bill in place
That's three promises he made on the campaign trail that he's already going back on.
He was saying that Mexico would pay for its construction - at which point the only reason to believe that pledge was because, like Tutankhamun, you'd had your brain removed through your nostrils.
You don't think that there'd still be a functional border with Mexico?
Just a massive, unscalable wall for nearly 2,000 miles?
I think that someone who could afford to bribe a border guard, could probably get a visa anyway.
