Here are 76 of Donald Trump’s many campaign promises- and some comments

[cali]

1. Build a wall along the southern border that's taller than the arenas where Trump holds his rallies, taller than any ladder and one foot taller than the Great Wall of China. This "artistically beautiful" wall will be constructed out of hardened concrete, rebar and steel, and it will be "the greatest wall that you've ever seen" -- so great that the nation will likely one day name it "The Trump Wall."

2. Make Mexico pay for the wall. If Mexico refuses, then the United States will impound all remittance payments taken from the wages of illegal immigrants, cut foreign aid, institute tariffs, cancel visas for Mexican business leaders and diplomats, and increase fees for visas, border-crossing cards and port use.


3. "If I become president, we're all going to be saying 'Merry Christmas' again."

4. Get rid of Common Core because it's "a disaster" and a "very bad thing." Trump says he wants to give local school districts more control and might even eliminate the Department of Education.

5. The Environmental Protection Agency might also disappear.

6. Get rid of Obamacare and replace it with something "terrific" that is "so much better, so much better, so much better."

Some comments:


#3 We're all going to say 'Merry Christmas' again - This one is pretty simple. You form a Merry Christmas Force (MCF) and embed them in malls, schools, and Starbucks. Anyone that says 'Happy Holidays' will be snatched up and sent to reeducation. Those unwilling or unable to say Merry Christmas will be hung from tinsel until they die. All it will take is one Christmas season and you'll never hear 'Happy Holidays' again.


#11. I will take care of women - I think we all know how he's going to do that, am I right?

#48 Force Nabisco to make Oreos in the US - He's going to make an example out of the Keebler elves. After all the other cookies see what he's willing to do to snacks that defy him, they'll fall into line.


Dictator Trump says he'll abolish Obamacare - taking away discounted prescriptions for Seniors -- his followers CHEER.


But he'll replace it with something so much better. So much better. See, he said it twice! Surely that assuages your concerns more than an actual plan with specificity. Surely you're no longer worried about losing your coverage due to a pre-existing condition, right?

what, he's not promising a chicken in every pot and a pony in every yard??? can't possibly vote for a man who won't go ALL THE WAY on meaningless promises.



His own promises seem to contradict one another. There's this untenable combination of federal solutions and states' rights issues - sometimes for the very same issue. And then you have the promises that would be unconstitutional and/or outside the scope of the President's powers. And then you have the ones that are obviously pure bluster.

How does anyone take this man seriously?
