Well that’s one way of interpreting what he said. I guess they should be happy for the first raise they’ve received in 10 years. They probably are about as excited as all of the federal workers affected by the shutdown who personally thanked Trump😂😂😂

If a short budget fight results in the start of real border security that prevents another 20+ million illegals and criminals from freely flowing into the US, I think most of us with more than 30 years on this Earth welcome it.

This was Chuck Schumer in 2009.  Why is border security and policies to stop illegals from entering the US now a bad thing:

It doesn't matter what Trump promised because he constantly breaks his promises. There are very few things he says we can actually trust.

He stated he would take full responsibility for a government shut down and now he backs away from it blaming the democrats.

he's going to build a great big wall

Thats one of the few promises he made you can trust he intends to follow through on.

Can anyone confirm, I saw some pics of Trump in Iraq and he allowed the soldiers to keep their weapons because "why not, they're in a war zone".  Vs. Obama who had them disarmed when meeting and greeting.  Not talking about private security either.

All politicians make promises, but to me is keeping more of them than others.  And some of the ones he didn't keep are out of his control like the ACA, but he did take away the penalty for not having insurance.

He promised:
More jobs
Stop getting the short end of international deals
Military pay raise (not really is doing, but every few years a raise comes around)
Lower taxes (subjective depending what bracket you're in.  My taxes will be lower in 2019)

Promises he didn't keep so far
Wall (working on it)
Signing reciprocity (bill never came to his desk)
ACA replacement "make it better" (see above)
Protect gun rights (bump stock ban)

Used the Congressional Regulatory Review Act to repeal more regulations than at any time in history
abolished the ACA fine/tax for not carrying healthcare coverage
economic growth at historic levels

poverty rate for African-Americans & Hispanic Americans at lowest level ever recorded
Confidence of small businesses, manufacturers, and consumers at record highs
over $450B has flowed back into the US which businesses had "parked" in offshore banks
is not taking his salary -- donates it to a select agency each quarter
Biggest tax cuts and reforms in US history
over 100 utility companies have lowered electric, gas or water rates due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
More US Circuit Court judges appointed than ever before
Appointed TWO Supreme Court Justices (and counting?)
Secured $1.6 billion for border wall construction in the March 2018 omnibus bill.
Withdrew US from Obama's commitment to the Paris Accord "Climate Change Scam"
All but destroyed ISIS -- All Iraqi territories are now freed from ISIS occupation/control
Cleared the way for construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline
Cleared the way for the Dakota Pipeline construction
Moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem, which the last 3 presidents promised to do
Opened AK National Wildlife Refuge to energy exploration
Withdrew from the Iran Nuclear deal
Historic summit with N. Korea -- ending Korean War
Largest military pay raise in almost 10 years
Increased military budget to $700B in FY 2018, and $716B in FY 2019


Those are  just the highlights.  Here's a list that was published last October if you care to get a better feel for the magnitude of Trump's successes in less that than 2 years.

Get a beverage and make yourself comfortable .... it's a VERY long list ......

This week, Melania Trump became the first First Lady to visit troops in an active combat zone since 1969.

Unless not running under nonexistent sniper fire counts.  Then it would be since 1996.

His mini interview was pretty good about it.  He was asked if he felt safe and said yes.  But was weird to have a blacked out airplane.  No lights on or anything.  He was worried about his wife's safety though.

Feeling safe and taking proper precautions are not mutually exclusive.

Cop:  Good afternoon, ma'am, I stopped you for speeding. Is that a revolver in your passenger seat?

Old Lady: Yes it is, Officer.

Cop:  Do you have any other weapons I need to know about?

Old Lady:  Well, I have a Glock in the center console, a 12 gauge auto in the trunk, and a .380 in my purse.

Cop:  Holy cow!  What are you afraid of?

Old Lady:  Absolutely nothing.

Trump is kind of odd though, he does keep a fair number of his campaign promises (that are within his ability) but he lies about so many things that aren't necessarily policy issues.

Case in point he said he would be so busy he wouldn't have time to golf, but he golfs often. Now I am not against occasional golfing, everyone needs a relaxation period but he didn't keep the promise. Now of course that isn't a policy thing but it is something where people still see he lied or didn't keep his promise. Same with the responsibility for the shutdown, etc.

That was one of his campaign promises? To golf less? He can golf all he wants because he's making America great

That was one of his campaign promises? To golf less? He can golf all he wants because he's making America great

And that is the main difference between Trump's supporters and the haters:

Supporters care more about what Trump does than what he says.

Haters seem to care more about what Trump says and not much at all about what he does.

In 2017, North Korea conducted 17 or more ballistic missile tests.

In 2018, North Korea conducted 0 ballistic missile tests.

 

(p.s. This is not a drill.)

Trump has done more for america in 18 months than barry has done in 8 years. This is all while golfing lot.

He just sold rice to china. Sand to iraq next?

Trump will go down in history as "The Dog-Year President."

He accomplishes in one year what it takes other presidents 7 years to do.

That was one of his campaign promises? To golf less? He can golf all he wants because he's making America great

It wasn't a promise but something to the effect that he would be so busy he wouldn't have time to golf. I am not complaining that he golfs though. I might complain that he golfs at his own courses (ethical issue) but that is a separate topic.

And that is the main difference between Trump's supporters and the haters:

For someone in the position of the president, talking is doing. So much of his job is talking you can't really separate out the two.

So when he claims he gave the military the only pay raise in 10 years but his statement is false, why does he get credit for "doing" that? Or does that false statement just get discounted because it was talking and not doing?

There are many things Trump has done, some good, some bad. It isn't an all or nothing type thing. I am neither a supporter or a hater because I don't fall into that false dichotomy. He gets credit from me when he says/does something good and he gets criticism from me when he says/does something bad.
