It's incredible that there haven't been more exposes on the huge number of promises that Trump failed to keep during his Presidency. Just to take 1 example: In his 2016 campaign, his most common refrain was that Mexico was going to pay for the wall. Has Trump been asked about this a single time?

Happy 7th anniversary to that time Donald Trump gave health care access to many people with the stroke of his pen. Remember that? What a day that was!

Sen. John McCain's 'thumbs down' vote against repealing Obamacare: An oral history

YouTube video by Washington Post

Happy 7th anniversary to that time Donald Trump gave health care access to many people with the stroke of his pen. Remember that? What a day that was! --- It surely was. John McCain voting down Don the Con's motion to kill the 'Obamacare'. -- Don fumed like never before.

I have seen assertions by his supporters that Mexico *did* pay for it. I don't remember whether it was a simple delusion or some complex chain of tortured logic (also involving delusions).

As a corollary, has Trump been asked about releasing his health records a single time? Has Trump been asked about releasing his tax returns a single time? Can this explain why Americans are so fed up with corporate media and also why Harris is doing multiple interviews with alternative outlets:

Kamala Harris doesn’t owe the mainstream press anything

They've failed over and over in the age of Trump.

she gets asked why she hasn't implemented her policies already as the sitting VP, he was literally the president for four years, why didn't YOU do all this shit my guy

This was a hilarious story that got completely memory holed. www.vox.com/policy-and-p...

Trump’s phone call with the Mexican president shows that he's terrible at making deals

“I have to have Mexico pay for the wall — I have to,” Trump pleads.

We Canadians would have paid for a wall up here. It would have been an easy win. Don’t know why he missed that option. Maybe he is not well?

That would require non-horserace work, Larry.

100%. I'm on record this whole cycle saying this was the Dems' best argument for peeling off the most gettable 5-10% of 2020 Trump voters -- enough to give Ds a solid win. If we lose, it will be because our leaders focused more on doomcasting than on converting T's regretful victims.

A recent episode of the Think Progressively podcast had a supercut of all the times in the past nine years that Trump announced that his health care plan would be out in two weeks.
