I'm no expert on US politics, but wasn't he hidebound by a Republican house and senate?

  Promises were made. Why they weren't kept is irrelevant. Edit: to clarify this is not my personal position but more a reflection on how I see the electorate behaving.

    ... yes, "promises" are how people defend their vote, and now we're going to get a front-row seat to see what happens to "promises" when the bullshit artist, Trump, is in charge.

      Yeah, see you really need to listen to yourself? That article says it all. Now he's a bullshit artist because he can't possibly be competent since he's ostensibly a conservative. It's a fallacy.
      • crispyambulance 10y ago
        No, he's a bullshit artist because he has made promises which he is CLEARLY not going to be able to keep like building a wall between Mexico and USA and getting Mexico to pay for it. I could go on and on, but that's a good, concrete example of a "promise" that will go unfulfilled.

  he controlled both houses when he took office. he rammed through ideological policy aca with zero opposition party input or support; he quickly lost his majorities.

    He also did this at a time when he should have been focused on finishing the job with banking reform.
