Promises Made. Promises Kept.
Yes, the campaigns are over. President Trump successfully regained the White House. If you stayed up until the election was “called” and you listened to President Trump’s speech, you know he said those words.
Promises Made. Promises Kept.
He was talking about HIS promises. Promises for a better economy. Promises to lower taxes for most Americans. Promises to eliminate other taxes like taxes on tips. Promises to lower energy costs. Promises to NOT start any more wars. Promises to take care of the working class.
Those, along with many others, are his promises and he promises to keep them. Understanding that what YOU think he promised and what HE thinks he promised might not align exactly, the general sentiment will be achieved. Of this, I have no doubt.
What about the other promises? There were lots of promises made during the campaign. How many of those will be kept?
There will be a national abortion ban!! No there will not. Not by executive action. Not by law. No there will not.
He will put people who opposed him in prison!! The Gestapo isn’t coming to round people up in the middle of the night and put them in jail. Sorry. Not happening.
He will use the military to kill his opponents!! Nope. That’s not how the military works. Never has. Never will.
This will be the last time anyone has the right to vote!! No it isn’t. The GOP already started their succession planning with Vice President Elect Vance. Why would the party that just swept every part of the election suddenly ban them when they have their next candidate lined up?
He has immunity and will do whatever he wants!! No he doesn’t. The Supreme Court gave immunity for what the President does while acting in the capacity as the President. That does NOT mean a President can violate the law with impunity. It means he can’t be prosecuted for things like murder if his legal orders to the military are to target and kill a foreign adversary. BIG DIFFERENCE.
He is going to take away everyone’s individual rights!! No, he is going to restore the rights of every American to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness by minimizing Federal Government overreach and pushing decisions back to the INDIVIDUAL STATES as the framers of the Constitution intended.
Those are the promises the Democrats and their celebrity friends made. They have promised the end of American. They spent over 100 days saying it. Donald Trump being reelected was going to be the end of it all. The end of Democracy. The end of civil rights. There are going to be internment camps. People are going to be killed. It will be horrific.
IT. WILL. BE. THE. END.
Except it won’t. It was all scare tactics meant to influence the weak minded. And it worked on many. So many smart and educated people fell for this. They believe we are stepping into The Handmaid’s Tale and other crazy notions. The bought it, all of it. Those were the promises made by their party icons.
The difference is, those promises won’t be kept and they knew it when they said it. When you don’t have a real platform with real policy and real solutions, you rely on lies and deceit and fear. They knew all along none of this would happen, but they promised it anyway. It was a win-win for them.
If they won the election, no one could prove they were lying. If Trump won the election and none of it came true, no one would remember they lied. But lie they did. And people believed it.
So, check with me in four years. We can go through this list together and verify that NONE of this happened. We will all see the Harris Walz campaign and all their surrogates were all liars.
There will be no Promises Made. And no Promises Kept.
