Should we hold Donald Trump to his promises? All 282 of them!
In the course of the long campaign, President-elect Donald Trump made an astonishing number of promises – some very specific, other terrible vague; some quite positive, but many utterly fanciful.
Writing for the “Washington Post”, Jenna Johnson has compiled a list of 282 Trump promises. In the interests of political accountability, the Democratic Party, the media and electors should be watching over the next four years to see how many of these promises are kept.
Of course, many of them are so indeterminate that Trump will have no difficulty pretending that he has met his objectives. In other cases, Trump will use his longstanding ability to flip-flop and either deny that he made the promise or simply change his mind.
You can have real fun – sometimes a loud laugh – working through the list but, like me, you are likely to have mixed wishes on implementation. As an example, I would love to see 1 and 2 but do not want to see 65 and 66. What about you?
