I will give you everything. Here are 282 of Donald Trumps campaign promises.

282 promises...lying fuck...how many do you think he will keep??

In Donald Trump’s final days on the campaign trail, he promised his supporters that “every dream you ever dreamed for your country” will come true if he becomes president — one of dozens of sweeping promises he made and is now expected to fulfill.

In January, I compiled a list of 76 campaign promises Trump had made. Since then, the list has grown to 282, collected from Trump’s speeches, public comments, tweets and campaign and transition websites.

JOBS

1. Create at least 25 million jobs and “be the greatest jobs president that God ever created.”

I guess since Uday and Qusay are selling opportunities to sniff Comrade Casino's Republican keister for a cool $1 million, the $400K seems like chickenfeed.

The Trumps are certainly fabulous role models for children, perfectly suited to demonstrate Republican family values.

12. Leave the federal minimum wage at $7.25 per hour, which is already too high.

13. Raise the federal minimum wage to $10 per hour, as $7.25 is too low and “the minimum wage has to go up.”

He just opens his mouth and the words come out. When he gets a good reaction from the crowd, he doubles down. The man is a disaster.

I was thinking the same thing. He can't make the whole country sign a confidentiality agreement!

He has various ways to avoid criticism that usually overcome any questions posed by reporters. Sheer denial is one.
