"There's no clear path forward at this time for how to meet all these goals because they're inherently contradictory," said Romina Boccia, director of budget and entitlement policy at the Cato Institute. Here's a closer look at his key promises.

Guy is a flimflam artist preying on the hopes of the desperate, hateful, ignorant and desperately hateful ignorant.

Anyone who actually expects him to deliver on all of those promises is as dumb as he looks.

Well... he sure came through on the Wall paid for by Mexico!

I expect all these promises to turn out just as well.

He never promised to do anything. He did say, however, that he was going to "look into" a lot of things.

Republicl0wns wanted you to believe he will become "presidential" once he is in office... same as 8 years ago. The election result did not cure his dementia.

"He never promised to do anything."

Tell that to the suckers who believed his lies and voted for him because of the price of groceries.

Those on the left should hold him to every utterance issued in the past four years. Where are the jobs, low prices, cheap gas, better healthcare, new roads, and greater national prestige so loudly and surely promised? Ask every day. And ask every congressman and senator up for election in 2026. Make them understand they are being watched and judged. Start the day after the inauguration ...

Trump believes in 'Go Big Or Go Home'!*

For the uninitiated dems here:
"The phrase "go big or go home" is an idiom that inspires a bold, ambitious approach. It urges you to commit wholly to an endeavor or step back from it entirely. This idiom emphasizes a go-all-in attitude, pushing for maximum effort or significant results instead of playing it safe or settling for mediocrity. Whether it's in sports, business, or personal goals, the motto "go big or go home" is a call for audacity and full dedication."

MSG, you should cite the meme you're stealing that shht from.

Trump lies big and will end up taking your home from you should he find it could benefit him in any way.
