From the Washington Post:

Don’t get me wrong, Trump lies all the time. He said that he “enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history” (actually they are the eighth largest) and that “our economy is the strongest it’s ever been in the history of our country” (which may one day be true, but not yet). In part, it’s a New York thing — everything is the biggest and the best.

But when it comes to the real barometer of presidential truthfulness — keeping his promises — Trump is a paragon of honesty. For better or worse, since taking office Trump has done exactly what he promised he would.

A long laundry list of Trump's achievements follows.

Has anyone checked the weather in Hell lately?

When did Mexico pay for the wall and why is Trump asking the taxpayer to pay for it? Also, hows that healthcare plan he promised that would be better than the ACA coming along?

All in good time.

Exactly what he promised?

Like Mexico paying for the wall? Obamacare repealed? ISIS defeated? Not take vacations? Eliminate common core? Defund planned parenthood? State managed medicaid? Hello McFly, anybody home??

Don't you remember? As it turns out, healthcare is a complicated issue.

"Who knew"...
 
DJT is the most hated by the kooker left, that's for sure. The guy put the brakes on the march towards socialism and that pissed off the kooks.

He's also attempted to put the brakes on illegal iimmigration and that has douple pissed the kooks. Because after, all Jesus was a brown-skinned immigrant LAFFRIOT.

And if Trump can send troops to th eborder why couldn't send them to save 3000 Puerto Ricans ?
 
All in good time.

Sure, prolly around the same time he releases his tax returns like he promised or when he said he would act presidential, aka NEVER. Please do hold your breath though.

lmao - only because he realized more people would fall for his "conservative" persona to get him elected.... Remember he was all for it before he wasn't. ;)

You didn't read the article. Doesn't look like any of the usual suspects did.

Gosh, looks like he changed his mind before he started campaigning for president. Is that legal?

Trump hasn't built a wall, nor has he given us all better and less expensive health insurance.

You Trumpers are so desperate to believe in Trump, you're practically begging for snake oil.

Patience, dude. It's only been 2 years, and he clearly has been trying to get those items done.

I'm sure that if the Democrats succeed in blocking him you'll blame him for that.

Read the article. Solid achievements, not snake oil.

What you guys are selling, that's snake oil.

"What if, like, Trump is actually telling the truth and up is down and night is day and stuff?"

Sure just like he changed his mind about abortion. Just another politician who is selling you just want you want to hear for your vote.

It's true he has kept many promises, especially on immigration and the trade deals - he's been remarkably consistent on those issues. But the republican shill who wrote the opinion piece puts a pretty hilarious spin on a lot of it.

Just take the tax cuts - of course he signed tax cuts, because that's what the GOP does. Cuts taxes for their corporate overlords and donor class, increases spending, blows up the deficit. What Thiessen forgot about was Trump's OTHER pledge to balance the budget in 8 years, protect Medicare and SS, pass tax cuts, and increase defense spending. All at once! It's easy to give out tax cuts (or spending increases) - the hard part is paying for them, and on that 'hard' part he's been just as dishonest as the last several GOP presidents.

He also biggly promised to 'drain the swamp' and he's filled up the swamp with corporate shills and other swamp dwellers who haven't ever seen corporate malfeasance they didn't want to ignore, or regulations they want to cut that will eventually come back to haunt us.

The healthcare reform he tried and failed to get done would have resulted in 10s of millions FEWER with insurance, not more, which is contrary to his goal of universal coverage - the wrong direction entirely. So Thiessen claims that healthcare reform that the GOP passed that would effectively end protections didn't end them isn't a lie like Obama's "lie" about keeping coverage, and that a plan that would increase the uninsured by 20 million after a promise to provide universal healthcare also isn't a significant "lie" like Obama's. Hmmm........ I'm sensing a GOP double standard here..

Trump is worse than a typical politician. Never in history has someone changed their ENTIRE political platform overnight in an attempt to pander to a specific group of voters. Trump literally went from Bill Clinton/Hillary Clinton supporting Democrat to "staunch conservative" overnight, in his late 60's no less!

Trump has no positions on anything. Right now he's loyal to his "conservative" base, but if he thought it would benefit him to throw them under the bus, he would.
