He promised the world, and Mexico would pay for it. Years later, nothing, and he has caved several times on closing the border, building a wall, etc. He waited until after the GOP lost the House to get serious. Yeah, they were uncooperative. Waiting until the dems had the House...May as well attempt to negotiate with the rain. He knew the government was against us, a swamp, didn’t stop him from promising to make the sun stand still in spite of them at dozens of rallies. If he couldn’t deliver “on time and under budget” he shouldn’t have promised that he could.
As a side note, my dad was the first person in our line to go to college after growing up on one floor of a triple decker, went to war for our country, and worked his way up to a six figure income while raising a family. I wouldn’t say he should be tagged as someone who gives up easily. He simply recognizes that we’re just as disenfranchised now as we ever were and there’s not much point to investing in politics if we don’t even have national borders or the capacity to know how many people living in our country are even supposed to be here.
Excuse me for being demoralized. Our country is marching away from our values at an increasing speed and we can’t stop it. I don’t blame Trump for that, but he shouldn’t promise he can do anything about it if he can’t.
We can't quit fighting because we lost a battle. As far as him promising to do things, he has tried, I guess he didn't have enough foresight to see judges blocking everything he does. And maybe we are a bit protective of him but he is trying so hard, working so hard, he deserves a bit of credit and a bit of loyalty for his efforts. He's never been a politician before, he didn't know how hard it would be to get stuff done when ever our "own' side is putting up road blocks. The way I look at it, our government is so corrupt, it may be impossible to get what he wants done but that doesn't mean we should give up.
