The overwhelming promise was to "Build a Wall"
Yeah, so you're changing the promise to match the outcome so you can claim it's been kept, shedding all the parts that he hasn't kept, that being the price and who would pay for it.
That's the textbook definition of changing the goalposts, which is the entire point of my claim.
My next question is, are you doing the same for his moves on Healthcare?
Are we celebrating another promise kept because he abolished Obamacare?
What goalposts?, you're talking in cliches. The promise was to build a barrier, a high barrier, didn't you watch the drone video? Long stretches of that new high barrier getting concreted into the ground over that open ground that previously had only speed bumps as a barrier, if there was any at all in some places - they'd stop no one
I've already given my honest opinion about who should pay. If the fence is exactly on the border line, then both parties should share the costs. Now go and annoy someone else with your health and Obama care. Trump is keeping his promise of building the barrier and that's all that matters - period
Trump's promise was always to build the wall and have Mexico to pay for it. He suggested they'd have to make a one off $5-$10 billion dollar payment. Payment in actual money.
Now not only has he not come good on that, but the costs have also blown out despite him promising he was the only one who could build the wall for $10-$12 billion while his other Republican Primary challengers would need $20-$30 billion to do it.
Well, turns out he needs that too, more even.
But since we're able to pick and choose what promises he makes matter, which need to be kept and which are like "core" promises, I suppose as I said Healthcare would get that same treatment, but what about his lies about Soleimani being an imminent threat, are he just going to pretend he never said that now that a White House memo has been released showing that he wasn't at all an imminent threat?
Like where does this "we will decide what things Trump says needs to be true or not" end? Is it just campaign promises, or things he says as President too?
Hell, he even admitted after he was exonerated that he sent Giuliano off to Ukraine to get dirt on Biden, one of the things during the investigation and trial he claimed never ever happened.
Does that matter? Or is he lying about lying? 2 wrongs make a right?
It used to be so simple. Government officials were held to a strict standard of having to be law-abiding and being punished if their lies were exposed or they were proven to have broken the law. But not Trump. His supporters condone his lying, defend it and turn a blind eye to him breaking the law and the Republicans abandoning their oath of office to cover it up.
But with Trump, we just get to rewrite history or just ignore lies we don't like.
What did that become acceptable, and not only that, defended by the tards?
The same tards who wanted to lock Clinton up for being a liar...
