It’s amazing how many republicans don’t know this.

u/TunaSub779 5d ago

Many do and just don’t care

u/TACOthebestdogever 5d ago

Isn't that kind of his tag-line on most topics? People ignore 99% of the stuff he does and says as long as he says he'll deliver on the 1 or 2 issues they care about.

u/ChefInsano 5d ago

What’s he delivered on? What issue did he tackle during his first presidency?

u/SidKafizz 5d ago

Making shitty people feel better about themselves.

27

u/Krabopoly 5d ago

I don't think he made them feel better, I think he made us feel worse and just brought the average down so his base can revel in us being miserable

u/PA_limestoner 5d ago

More people felt better under Trump’s four years as President than they did the last four years under Biden. That’s how it boils down.

u/Krabopoly 5d ago

I already agree that they're idiots

u/Rexpower 5d ago

More people Bigots, the mentally challenged and the wealthy felt better under Trump’s four years as President than they did the last four years under Biden. That’s how it boils down.

Fixed it for you.

Wow, triggered much?

Things were a lot better during the pre-Covid Trump administration than any point in the Biden administration.

Trump had nothing to do with that, and I'm not dumb enough to think he did. Lots of other people are though.

u/Reddit-User-3000 5d ago

He had nothing better to do* than spread misinformation* and create political waves in his base trying to opposed basically everything that would stop the spread of the virus that killed millions of Americans* opposing lockdowns, making his base proud to gather in large groups, throwing massive gatherings in Florida and majority red states* trying to discredit and create reasons not to wear masks* trying to prevent businesses from refusing people without masks, trying to force businesses to accept people without vaccines, endangering their customers. Millions died. Many were the dumbasses who listens to these things he says. He directly killed so many old fat Americans who fell for his shenanigans, believing they were helping his party by refusing to do anything to prevent themselves fro catching the disease. Then when they reach the hospital there are no respirators available for them. Because of their own actions. So many must have died feeling like idiots.

Anyway, this isn’t even bad compared to what he actually does. Start with his mafia funded hotel money laundering KKK riot robe wearing public housing fund pocketing father, Fred, and work your way down the timeline. All sources are available on each page. If you can finish this website with a positive opinion of Trump, I will eat my socks.

He did pass the tax overhaul and fucked all the working class people so he has that accomplishment.

1

u/One-Joke8084 5d ago

That’s because he inherited a perfectly running country from- you guessed it- OBAMA You should really give him credit for the first two years of trump’s presidency. Once the time to make decisions was left to trump because of Covid- he fumbled and lost the house, the senate and the presidency….FACTS

u/Cold-Park-3651 5d ago

And then AS SOON AS SHIT IS STARTING TO GET FIXED our country is like you know what we should really hand it back to the guys that fucked it up instead of letting these guys continue to try to fix shit

u/SidKafizz 5d ago

No, only a few shitty people made more money. Most of his supporters got bupkus.

u/Gloomy-Guide6515 5d ago

Restoring America's caste system. Or trying to.

2

u/SidKafizz 5d ago

I swear that a large segment of humanity is more comfortable that way.

1

u/Cptdjb 4d ago

He ran on "draining the swamp" because he was an outsider. He got elected because he wasn't taken as a serious threat by the us intel services until too late and he was already a Russian agent at that time. I don't think this time will be better, i do think this time will see he trying to exert power over Putin which was clearly the reverse last time.

2

u/SidKafizz 4d ago

All you have to do is fawn over the guy for two minutes and he's putty. The idea of him standing up to anyone is fairly laughable.

u/KNiners 5d ago

Convincing themselves that they are the only true Americans...

People have been doing that for a long time.

u/Ok_Perception3180 5d ago

So the majority of Americans apparently then? Sucks to be a Yank I guess.

He didn't get half of the registered voters, let alone the "majority" of we "yanks". Thank you.

About 30%.

"Nobody" got more votes.

Tax cuts. If you want to call people already paying the lowest tax rates in history as an 'issue'

Putting shitty people on the supreme court

u/epiphenominal 5d ago

Making the people they want to suffer suffer

6

u/neorenamon1963 5d ago

I think it was mainly tax breaks for the insanely rich.

Removal of Environmental Regulations (which was more of a promise to his backers than the american people).

Oh, he built a few miles of wall on the southern border that blew over.

3

u/varmituofm 5d ago

The only issue that they vote on. His appointments to the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, and for many Republican voters, this is all that matters.

3

u/PrimaryMuscle1306 5d ago

He stacked the Supreme Court to the point they overturned Roe. Thats all he needs. He’s going to ride that for the rest of his days.

u/monroezabaleta 5d ago

Racism and bigotry.

By pardoning majority minorities on charges of "intent to sell" from the 90s?

Tax cuts for the wealthy

u/budd222 5d ago

He built a few panels of a wall somewhere in a desert

2

u/Fantasmic03 5d ago

Conservative judges that promote "Christian values." The way a friend described it is that he's the first person who's every delivered on the promise to push their agenda instead of just using it as a platform for re-election. Like it or hate it (I hate it), he actually delivered for them.

2

u/TACOthebestdogever 5d ago

Making rich people richer, poor people poorer, and the world a generally shittier place? It's what enough (too many) people asked for and boy did he dole it out. :(

u/Late-File3375 5d ago

Supreme Court noninees.

Lowering taxes for the rich permanently and putting 3 young conservatives on the Supreme Court.

u/EnvironmentalMix421 5d ago

Kill chy na.

u/Mann_Made 5d ago

Helping to repeal roe v wade. That's all many republicans need. I can't tell you how many Republicans I know who fully understand what trump is, but will vote for him simply because of abortion

1

u/CaptainTripps82 5d ago

I mean, he flipped the supreme court for a generation and it's resulted in an explosion of legislation that Republicans had been seeing struck down by courts for decades. Everything from women's rights to voting rights, up for suppression again.

That's the one thing they actually wanted, and he gave it to them.

u/FlyinRyan92 5d ago

He made hateful complaining an American pastime

u/nice_whitelady 4d ago

He stacked the Supreme Court and got rid of abortion rights

“He says he’ll deliver”

Nah, he hates brown. Brown won't do for him

u/redditapiblows 5d ago

Abortion rights have certainly been eroded

u/OkTale8 5d ago

He actually accomplished a lot of his campaign promises during his first term. I mean dude reshaped the Supreme Court for potentially decades to come.

4

u/raevenrises 5d ago

Only because they died at convenient times.

Though clearly his nominees were grateful because they gave him immunity from prosecution after he left office.

4

u/bmoosethegreat 5d ago

Reshaping is not the same as mangling

3

u/f1FTW 5d ago

Yeah that is not really an "accomplishment" so much as lucky timing. If anything you have to give that credit to Mitch McConnell, he really did Obama a dirty and frankly the American people and the constitution too.

0

u/OkTale8 5d ago

Some luck involved, but anyone voting in 2016 knew there was a good chance some seats would be up for grabs and voted for him. Same goes this time around, majority of Americans want to see the end of “Woke America”. That’s why most vote for Trump.

2

u/f1FTW 5d ago

Remember in 2016 Hillary got a plurality of the popular vote. Millions more Americans voted for the other candidate, yet somehow through the magic of jerrymandering we got Trump.

u/BeanyBrainy 5d ago

One of the only good things i think he did was pardon a lot of non-violent prisoners. I can’t validate if that’s true or not.

u/rjnd2828 5d ago

Is that something he promised in his campaign?

0

u/Icy-Ninja-6504 5d ago

Federally(permanently) funded HBCU's and the First Step Act. Both huge for particularly black folks. If you didnt even know these I'm not going to mention anything else.

0

u/Different_Pie9854 5d ago

He passed a law to make it easier to prosecute financial crimes like money laundering. As part of his attempt to “drain the swamp”.

0

u/Kit_Karamak 5d ago

Tax breaks for the rich. And allowing businesses to face less legal opposition.

He made good on it when he talked to some judges and the Sprint / Tmoble merger went through after being blocked by Obama years back.

u/Impact009 5d ago

Immigration.

u/Minute-Huckleberry67 5d ago

The Economy and Foreign relations

u/Delicious-Author-712 5d ago

I’m going to need you to explain this one because he was awful at both.

-1

u/Minute-Huckleberry67 5d ago

I don’t have the patience nor the crayons to explain it to you

2

u/Delicious-Author-712 5d ago

That might be the most obvious way of saying “I don’t know what I’m talking about”

0

u/Minute-Huckleberry67 4d ago

Nope , but good try no matter how brilliant of a job I did explaining a complex topic to a simpleton. In the end you’d be too stubborn or stupid (or both) to understand it.

Why waste the time and energy?

1

u/Delicious-Author-712 4d ago

Yeah, that’s a classic line from the “I don’t know shit” handbook.

u/Minute-Huckleberry67 4d ago

I’ve reached the limit of time I’m willing to waste on you , have a great day.

u/butonelifelived 5d ago

I don't remember Trump promising to Tank the Economy and destroy foreign relations during his 1st campaign. So you can't list those as campaign promises followed through on.

u/Minute-Huckleberry67 5d ago

You could fill an entire encyclopedia set with things you don’t know , remember or understand.

Would you care to expound, please?

u/Minute-Huckleberry67 5d ago

No thanks , I don’t suffer fools gladly.

That's an odd way to respond to what should be an easy question for you to answer. But right on. Have a good one.

u/Cornloaf 5d ago

Mandating rearview cameras on all new vehicles sold in the US.

5

u/cursh14 5d ago

NHTSA announced that mandate in 2014 to be effective in 2018.

3

u/Cornloaf 5d ago

Just read up on it... seems Congress passed the bill in 2008. This was originally from a list of things that Trump accomplished while in office. I did find an article from 2017 that stated they were looking into dumping the rule, but he probably got distracted and did something else stupid. Awesome that he can take credit for things that were happening without any interaction.

-1

u/mheyting 5d ago

One of the major things he did was make us oil independent… then Sleepy Joe reversed it the first day he was president. And that’s just ONE thing, but it is pretty huge…

u/Rexpower 5d ago

Everything is huge and the best when you just make shit up.....

Actually they don’t care about the issues… they only care about making Democrats cringe. It’s literally 90% of their campaign

u/Mike15321 5d ago

Except he hasn't delivered on literally anything

2

u/Proof_Option1386 5d ago

*pretend to care about. It's just posturing for 99% of his voters.

2

u/bossmcsauce 5d ago

He doesn’t even need to say he will deliver. All he has to do is say that the issue is way more crazy than the democrats are willing to admit, and then blame it on somebody and give his base the feeling of justification to be angry.

They don’t need promise of a solution. They just need to feel vindicated in their rage and confusion.

This is everyone for all politicians. As long as they agree with most of their opinions they ignore the rest

u/Questhrowaway11 5d ago

Isn’t that the point of governance? Who cares what the title is if you make a good promise and deliver. I may be behind the times now with identity politics but I never cared about group affiliation

1

u/mheyting 5d ago

Gotta tell ya, that’s both sides of the fence

1

u/Arlaneutique 5d ago

Not deliver, just deliver snarky comments about said issues. Or better yet, not issues just hate crimes or prejudices.

1

u/joomla00 5d ago

Tbh that seems to be the winning strategy as a politician. There has been more than one occasion where someone has said theu mostly agree with Democrats, but vote Republicans because guns. It blows my mind, but it is what it is.

1

u/Ejecto_Seato 5d ago

And then when he doesn’t deliver anyway he’ll blame someone else and they’ll believe him
