Donald Trump's Lies and Broken Promises: Analyzing His Performance and Future Intentions

Donald Trump, the former US President, has left a significant mark on American politics during his tenure, one that was riddled with claims, many of which have been proven false. His first term was marked by accusations of numerous lies, with the staggering figure of 30,000 lies being a source of ongoing scrutiny. The saying, 'a leopard does not change its spots,' aptly describes Trump’s continuation of his misleading ways, even in his second term.

Insurrection and Looming Threats

The aftermath of the 2020 election saw a disturbing display of defiance against the electoral process. A significant portion of Trump’s supporters were involved in a coordinated insurrection attempt. This small group of individuals now faces the reality of their actions. They are the same people who vehemently denied the possibility of hacking the voting system in 2020, only to be proven wrong in the aftermath. The insurrection that sought to overturn the election results is a troubling reminder of the deep divisions in American society.

Despite his lack of official office, the behavior of these individuals continues to be a source of concern, showcasing a pattern of disregard for democracy and the rule of law. The phrase ‘too disgusting for words’ (tfdw) aptly captures the sentiment of many regarding the insurrection and the followers of the former president who took part in it.

Broken Promises and Tariffs

One of Trump's most controversial campaign promises was to impose tariffs on trade partners. However, this intention has been met with criticism and has yet to materialize. In a recent discussion with the President of Mexico, the outcome did not align with what Trump had initially claimed. This discrepancy highlights the president-elect's ability to create a narrative that provides him with the necessary 'wiggle room' to backtrack on his promises.

Trump may have justified the promise of tariffs as a ploy to win votes from his supporters, who lack understanding of the economic implications. By creating a narrative in which the domestic consumer is the one paying for tariffs, he aimed to placate his base. However, it’s important to note that governments, not consumers, typically bear the brunt of tariffs. Nevertheless, the lack of a comprehensive understanding of the consequences aligns with the pattern exhibited by Trump throughout his term.

An alarming example of this is his promise to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine within 24 hours of his election. This promise was quickly backtracked on, revealing a lack of firmness and decisiveness from the president-elect.

Condemning and Looking Ahead

The insurrection, the broken promises, and the general pattern of misleading statements by Trump are deeply concerning. His continued involvement in insurrectionist behavior and disingenuous promise-making is not only a threat to democratic processes but also to the unity of the nation.

However, it is crucial to acknowledge that only time will reveal the full extent of Trump's intentions and actions in his second term. As President-Elect Trump faces challenges from 'drunken pervy Democrats,' it remains to be seen how these obstacles will affect his ability to fulfill his campaign promises.

As the nation moves forward, the heavy weight of the past must serve as a reminder to all of the importance of honesty and responsibility in leadership. The future will hold many more challenges, and it is up to the citizens to demand transparency and accountability from their leaders.
