Trump Flips On Five Core Campaign Promises In Under 24 Hours

[Zippyjuan]

Before the typical squabbling begins, keep in mind the most important thing.

SOMETHING HAS CAUSED AN ABOUT FACE BY TRUMP.
THIS IS CLEARLY SUCH A RADICAL CHANGE THAT SOMETHING DRASTIC HAS INSTIGATED IT AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT, OR MORE IMPORTANTLY WHY AND HOW.


Like it making no political sense for Assad to gas his own people, Trump is not making political sense alienating the political base that elected him and supported his reforms.

Bannon losing influence.

SOMETHING HAS CAUSED AN ABOUT FACE BY TRUMP.

You mean other than the fact that his one most consistent quality ever since his first presidential campaign in 2004 has been his flip-flopping?

 

[William Tell]

Here is why what Trump is doing makes sense politically. Most of his base consists of teocons and most of them do not understand the federal reserve, still think the invasion of Iraq was somehow justified, and are fine with NATO as long as other countries pay their fair share. Seriously, the average Trump supporter neither understands nor cares about what you understand and care about. They got their red hat and now 'meriku is a marching forward.

The other reason is his path to reelection is far different than his path to victory last time. He won't be an Outsider. He doesn't need the Drain the Swamp coalition anymore. Almost all of them will back him against Warren/Sanders on general election day no matter what he does and he will win the primary just by being a sitting president with universal name recognition.

fired an entire floor of the state department

Fan fiction. Never happened.

The only people who were 'fired' were the political appointees who always leave when a new administration comes in. The only reason that they'd stayed as long as they had is because Trump and his administration either hadn't bothered or were unable to find someone to replace them.

and even bothered with the hiring freeze?

Do you mean the hiring freeze with exemptions for the DOD, CBP, and ICE, and anything else "necessary to the national defense?" The hiring freeze which is about to end?

What, exactly, is the big victory of a 60 day hiring freeze? What was accomplished? How did/do the American people benefit?

 

[afwjam]

Ok I'm all out of Rep, if you weren't one of the fools, pat yourself on the back a few times, it won't help, do it anyways. Anyone that knows anything knows that anything the MSM talks about is bullshit, even if it's bad. Guess who got wall to wall coverage? If he threatened them at all, there would be radio silence.

Paid shills: True believers in Liberty are not fertile ground to plant your bullshit, we believe in principles. Go back and tell your boss to reassign you and leave us alone. To the Cucked fools, I told you so, first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, go read some Ron Paul, Rothbard, Bastiat or something. Come back when you have admitted your mistakes and have principles again.

AJ on right now bashing this article. Says its a DNC talking point and Trump didn't flip flop on any he just "negotiated".

"he made NATO role over"

admits he lied to us on healthcare and gave us a stinker.

I've seen this talking point elsewhere as well. I suspect it may replace the 'he was threatened / coerced' meme soon. The thing is... if it's true, he's the worst negotiator in history. He traded away all of his supposed 'core' interests for... what, exactly?

Example: I heard it this morning regarding China. He negotiated away the "better" trade deals that his base was counting on to MAGA somehow, as well as labeling them a currency manipulator, and also recognition of Taiwan which his administration said would be a negotiating point. What he got in return was apparently China's agreement to put pressure upon North Korea. How is this, in any way, America First? What benefit will Trump's supporters - or any American - derive from this?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to William Tell again.

Of course. "He's better than Hillary" will easily translate to "He's better than Bernie/Warren." There is literally no reason politically for him to cater to an already locked up base.

Well did I have any respect for Alex Jones left to lose?

 

[CaptUSA]

Oh do you? Well, do you think had he been acting this past week since January, he would have fired an entire floor of the state department and even bothered with the hiring freeze? Lets be real here. Trump apologists are and anti-Trump who claim he never changed are smoking some powerful $h!t.

I guess you didn't notice when he was selecting his VP or his cabinet, huh?

Listen, I'm sick of trying to convince you guys that you were conned by a great conman. At least we can all agree now that this guy sucks, right?! We are not going to see more liberty under Trump than we did under Obama - just more government, blowback, and debt.

He promised to use a condom but then he didn't. I feel so cheated and cheap.

 

[Zippyjuan]

That isn't what I asked you however. I asked is it more than likely that he would have fired an entire floor of the state department since his behavior THIS past week.
I'll address other comments later because I ran out of time.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/26/polit...cials-asked-to-leave-by-trump-administration/

All four, career officers serving in positions appointed by the President, submitted letters of resignation per tradition at the beginning of a new administration.

The letters from the White House said that their resignations were accepted and they were thanked for their service.

The White House usually asks career officials in such positions to stay on for a few months until their successors are confirmed.

In this case, their usual resignation was accepted before their replacements were chosen- that was the unusual part- not that they lost their jobs.

 

[undergroundrr]

Listen, I'm sick of trying to convince you guys that you were conned by a great conman.

Keep trying. It's tough love but it's for their own good. Next time, maybe they'll recognize they're being hustled.

As for NATO, trump's quote was, “I complained about that a long time ago, and they made a change — and now they do fight terrorism... I said it was obsolete. It's no longer obsolete.”

The North Atlantic Treason Organization is the vanguard of political one world government globalism. trump's NATO criticisms during the campaign were one of the main reasons LibertyEagle and others promoted him. People thought he wanted to leave NATO because he was against globalism. No, it turns out the ME wasn't being bombed hard enough to soothe his doctrinaire neocon IslamoFasciPhobia. Now that he's comfortable that "now they do fight terrorism," he's all for NATO.

No! Wait! Let me Trumpslain!

you think you're gonna to live your life alone
in darkness
and seclusion
yeah I know
you've been out there
tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion
so you stagger back home
and wait for nothing
but the solitary refinement of your room spits you back out onto the street
and now you're desperate
and in need of human contact
and then
you meet me
and you whole world changes
because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
so you drop all your defenses and you drop all your fears
and you trust me completely
I'm perfect
in every way
cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
you feel so lucky
but your ego obscures reality
and you never bother to wonder why
things are going so well
you want to know why?

cause I'm a liar

yeah I'm a liar
I'll tear your mind out
I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me
I'll turn you into me
cause I'm a liar, a liar
a liar, a liar

I'll hide behind a smile
and understanding eyes
and I'll tell you things that you already know
so you can say
I really identify with you, so much
and all the time that you're needing me
is just the time that I'm bleeding you
don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction
and I'll leave you like an addiction
you'll never forget me
you want to know why?
cause I'm a liar
yeah I'm a liar
I'll rip your mind out
I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me
I'll turn you into me

cause I'm a liar, a liar
liar, liar, liar, liar

I don't know why I feel the need to lie
and cause you so much pain
maybe it's something inside
maybe it's something I can't explain
cause all I do
is mess you up and lie to you

I'm a liar
oh, I am a liar

if you'll give me one more chance
I swear that I will never lie to you again
because now I see the destructive power of a lie
they're stronger than truth
I can't believe I ever hurt you
I swear
I will never to you lie again, please
just give me one more chance
I will never lie to you again
I swear
that I will never tell a lie
I will never tell a lie
no, no
ha ha ha ha ha hah haa haa haa haaa
sucker
sucker!
oh, sucker
I am a liar
yeah, I am a liar

I don't see how he makes it thru 4 years without a major economic crisis, much worse than in 2008. We haven't seen the downside to the massive amounts of stimulus over the last 8 years (10 trillion borrowed, 3.5 trillion printed, 0% rates, 4 trillion in trade deficits). Has any country in history ever bled that much red ink?

Trump is a one term president.

 

[Wooden Indian]

Fake news. I won't believe he flip flopped until he tweets that he did flip. Even then, it would probably be that McCain hacked his Twitter. Not to mention, his flip could just be a well scripted illusion in order to draw out the enemy establishment and the deep state cronies in a brilliant 44D chess move.


You Hilary cucks don't know know Ron Paul on steroids when you see it.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to write some fan fiction about me letting The Orange One nail my wife while I hold his beer.

 

[acptulsa]

What did the Trumpcucks keep asking us when we choked on the MSM pablum they were regurgitating for us? Why can't we just accept the simple explanation? Because we knew...

...or...

...just perhaps...


I lie
I lie
oh, I lie
oh I lie
I lie
yeah
ohhh I'm a liar
I lie
yeah
I like it
I feel good
I'll lie again
and again
I'll lie again and again
and I'll keep lying
I promise

Now. Why can't y'all accept the simple, logical, inescapable explanation? Because you can't handle the truth?

Well, clearly this movement is going to need some things if it is to go forward from here. And I believe the first thing on that list is a place where we can speak the unvarnished truth without getting banned for it.

If you want to grow a crop of liberty sometimes you have to melt the snowflakes--no matter which truths it is that they can't handle.

You can't trust tweets. They're not even words.
