Trump 'agenda' document treats voters like suckers

by Quin Hillyer, Commentary Writer
August 24, 2020

It’s not an agenda. It’s a magic wish list. Trump might as well be promising voters he’ll sprinkle fairy dust on them to make them all princes and princesses.

The lack of specifics is even more objectionable in light of the Republican National Convention’s decision to produce no new “platform” other than “supporting President Trump.” Without a platform, the party becomes even more of a cult of personality, and Trump’s outlandish agenda promises make him even more like the Wizard of Oz, pledging things he cannot practically deliver while his Republican allies stand slack-jawed in ill-merited awe.

The first seven agenda items come under the rubric of “jobs.” The first is typical: “Create 10 million new jobs in 10 months.”

Gee, why didn’t Biden think of those things? Biden must really be a dolt. Only by reelecting Trump will we be awarded the executive order that wipes out global terrorists. After all, everybody knows that “eradicate terrorists” executive orders are unconstitutional in a president’s first term but not in the second. Otherwise, Trump would have done it already. Still, we can trust him to do it in 2021, because it says so in his agenda.

His cult deserves everything they get and more !!!

Trump will blame China when the fall surge of Covid-19 occurs.

Many businesses have closed permanently.

Who will Trump blame that on ???

He is responsible for all of this.

Promote propaganda, fleece his supporters and donors, and lie , deny , and promise anything he can to con people into believing his BS. Anything he accuses others of is what HE"S done or is doing. People are wising up to all his lying, and running away as fast as they can now. People are fed up with all the corruption from him and his family.

Pay attention when Trump claims the economy is going down the drain if he is not reelected.

He is telling us what condition he is going to leave the country in.
