Look we all know who Trump is. Thats pone if the biggest problems of the left. They just don't get it. Trump is bombastic. He says s lot of things that we understand we know are part of his bombastic persona. We know he isn't going to grop grocery prices day obe. No one can do that. But we also know he is going to start working on it immediately and we believe he is going to continue to work in it to make it happen. Not like sleepy Joe. The left will have plenty of fodder to attack him for just like before. But we are pretty much ignoring you now. Thats how he got elected. He's not lying, he's just being his big personality. We also know that big personality is what is going to bring about the changes we want. So go ahead and be shocked and act all crazy about it. You can run around with your hair in fire for the next four years if you like. Meanwhile Trump is going to work hard to help us all. Even you. We are just going to ignore your firey hair as things get better. And I going to start by ignoring this thread. After I respond to Zip.
He's a con man saying things to con people. The left does get it. It's his supporters who don't get it. Based on prices caused by world wide pandemic induced inflation, they literally voted for the person who doesn't understand how tariffs work, but will use them to surefire cause price increases. Go figure. We can't afford to bailout everyone like we had to do the farmers last Trump term. Understand, we already had four years of Trump. It 's far more than just "big personality is what is going to bring about the changes we want." I can provide a laundry list of what this big personality said he would do last time, and never did. I am not sure why anyone would think this will be any different. It's the same bombastic never get anything done Trump. As I have said before, and I can show it, that "Sleepy Joe" got more of Trump's campaign promises done than Trump did.

Yes. The Trump admin and no plan what so ever to distribute covid vaccines
Could have just stopped after the first 7 words and it would have been a summary of his first term.
And looks like the second one is continuing that, given the lack of a plan to implement his promise of lower grocery prices on day 1.

Don't forget ... peace between Russia and Ukraine within the first 24 hours of his being sworn in.
About that. I regret to inform you that...

Trump says Russia-Ukraine peace may be harder than Middle East

President-elect Trump on Monday expressed confidence that he could settle the war between Russia and Ukraine but also stressed that it would be difficult and possibly harder to solve than the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza.

Trump had pledged on the campaign trail to end the war in Ukraine by the time he takes office. He had also at times claimed he would end the war in 24 hours.

...will be even "harder" now...

MOSCOW, Dec 17 (Reuters) - A top Russian general accused by Ukraine of being responsible for the use of chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops was assassinated in Moscow by Ukraine's SBU intelligence service on Tuesday morning in the most high-profile killing of its kind.

Peace in the Middle East before we can get to Russia/Ukraine has got be super reassuring for our European allies.

I'm not the slightest bit surprised that Trump is failing before he even begins.
He's not. He's just speaking his mind.

I have every expectation, that things may get worse, before they get better. The rot in Washington DC, is deep and elitists are entrenched in every nook and cranny.
Trump will help clean up all this rot we are in! I promise you!

I hope you're right.

The 'rot' is currently having retreats, and meetings; strategizing on how to destroy the Trump presidency.

They hate and persecute him because they believe everything the MSM tells them. SMH

Riley, the MSM and everyone else was simply reporting what he said. You are one of those who believed him. Now, as well as 'Gee, nobody knew health care was so difficult' we had 'Gee, nobody knew dropping grocery prices would be so hard' last week. And now we get 'Gee, stopping the war in Ukraine is going to be so difficult'.

The guy promised all this to you. Mostly on Day One. No, sorry. I actually think he said he'd solve the Ukraine crisis before he was sworn in. He lied to you. You believed him. Just like he said the Mexicans would pay for a wall. Now he's backpedaling for all he's worth. I've never seen so many promises broken before actually taking office.

How long before people start admitting that they were conned?

By no means, am I saying Trump is perfect, FAR FROM IT. Just to be clear?

Do I really BELIEVE he is AS BAD as people say he is? No.

Is he necessarily the best man for the job? Also no.

Rather, I only wish him the best, because HE WILL BE the next President whether anyone likes it or not.

Clear?

Speaking for myself, nobody was "conned"; I just rejected more of the "fundamental transformation" that was promised .

Yes, I hear that for many it was not so much the economy as the Woke culture and diminishment of masculinity.
So now we can have a president who exploits his "male" sexuality.

What he is doing is starting to make excuses for what he said when he was campaigning. He lied then and now he's backtracking.
And of course his followers always knew it.

And a good observation, IMO.

75 percent of the country, me included, said it's headed in the wrong direction; so the choice was to either change course, or continue the same direction, on steroids. America chose the former.
It is quite obvious the economy was going the right direction. Worldwide inflation induced prices were dropping. Inflation was dropping. Bank rates to blunt inflation are lowering. What America did was put into office someone who said point blank and many times, that he will enact measures that will raise prices.

Hey, at least health care is easy to fix... Oh wait, never mind.

Then you can't complain when people point out that he lied to you to get elected.
