I don't agree with most of his decisions, and think he's generally despicable, but he is the first politician I can ever remember at the national level who made promises, and spent his presidency actually making them happen. Say what you will, he is fucking doing it. I hope libs start taking notes on how to get shit done and making plans to do so instead of spending all of their time and efforts trying to demonize the guy. I might even vote for the lefty version of this guy. I would definitely vote for a centrist version.

Wait, I'm still trying to figure out what he has actually accomplished? The wall isn't being funded by Mexico. ACA is still the law of the land.

If you mean "Electing me will make people upset" then yes, he has totally kept that promise.

And tracking on promises disagrees with you- check this for Obama versus Trump:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/

Obama kept almost half his promises and compromised on about a 1/3.

Not to mention Trump's big complaints about Obama golfing all the time has been more than supplanted by Trump's golfing all the time (and having us pay his Trump courses for it).

But he triggered them libs

I wonder why he picked Brett Kavanaugh

"A … possible concern is that the country needs a check against a bad-behaving or law-breaking President. But the Constitution already provides that check. If the President does something dastardly, the impeachment process is available. No single prosecutor, judge, or jury should be able to accomplish what the Constitution assigns to the Congress. "

He wrote that about Independent Counsels. Essentially he thinks the President should be untouchable unless he's impeached by Congress.

Obama did push for most of his promises, but folded or compromised on those that helped workers, health care, etc... Basically everything that would get in the pockets of he and his cronies was shitcanned or turned into some untenable watered down shit show. I
Eg: The healthcare abortion he shoved down the throat of the country.

I'm just surprised that Trump hasn't had any of those yet. I'm sure he will before he's done.

Republicans had the house 6/8 years Obama served, of course he had to compromise or fold on those that helped workers, health care, etc...

I checked- this is from an actual speech he just made in Montana and I'm dumbfounded.

STOP FRONTIN' vlady!!! you know he's right!
edit: he was probably on codein and high as fuck...you know all chopped and screwed...but he's still right!

If only I could figure out what he is right about. I have no idea wtf he just said.

He would have anyway. Too many dems making bank to upset the apple cart.

Wrong!
He clearly said Elton John's Organ was taking up all the space, so they broke all his records.

lol Primate confirmed woke we get what u think, both sides are equally bad!!!

Yes. They all need to be turned into soylent green

I'm looking at the politifact articles now, and some of these predictions that they count as "kept" are hilarious.

Obama:

The Promise: "I will immediately sign a law that begins to phase out all incandescent light bulbs - a measure that will save American consumers $6 billion a year on their electric bills."
Update December 19th, 2016: Through mix of federal standards and consumer actions, LED bulbs are growing fast


Trump

Nominate someone from his list of justices to replace Antonin Scalia
“I am looking to appoint judges very much in the mold of Justice Scalia. I'm looking for judges — and I've actually picked 20 of them so that people would see.”


Both of these are laughable, so comparing the lists for who has more kept/broken is stupid IMO because neither of these should count as real promises kept in the first place.
