Alot of what I hear is people complaining he didn’t meet his promises. They ignore the fact that it wasn’t for lack of trying
I don’t think any president has ever delivered on more than a handful of their campaign promises. And even then, those outcomes are stretching the accomplish a LONG way to meet the “promise”.
The biggest win in a long time is probably Obama and the ACA, and that took a LOT and even that, though infinitely better than what it replaced, wasn’t really what he promised us.
Meanwhile, Trump is working on his replacement for the ACA, it’ll be available in a couple weeks.
That’s because those aren’t campaign promises so much as campaign agendas and the misnomer disillusions people, which is the original intent of creating the misnomer.
I pretty much agree, with everything in this thread, but it doesn’t help that presidential candidates themselves often use the words “I promise” or “I will” lol
