I guess it's not enough to just have a concept of a plan.

Apparently it IS enough. He got elected with a concept of a plan.
Promising shit that anyone with 60+ IQ could tell was absolute fucking nonsense hardly qualifies as a plan, but holy shit did it work.
True defeat was the popular vote. I really didn't realize how bad things are until the orange felon got majority of voters to select him after every single fucking metric that should matter to average American was down after his first term and he delivered on basically none of his promises.
One Trump ally argued the president-elect was not contradicting his promises on the trail, but he rather was shifting away from the sales pitch rhetoric that is typical of campaigns.
They've distorted reality to the point where lying like a used car salesman is not really lying. This is happening before our very eyes.
Nowadays, lying to sell a product is completely normal and acceptable: it's called "marketing". You expect people to differentiate between one type of marketing and another?
Remember KAC actually saying "alternative facts"? She actually used that phrase in a sentence while wearing a shit-eating grin.
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Trump allies argue he’s transitioning from campaign rhetoric to governing realities.
"No, you don't get it. Now that he's done campaigning he doesn't have to lie anymore, so he's just telling the truth instead."
The only two actual priorities for Trump are
- Making money/Being important to feed his narcissism
- Not going to jail
He literally doesn't give a fuck about anything else.
- Or maybe a corollary to 1. Getting revenge on anyone that agent orange thinks wronged him. The guy is such a snowflake with such delicate skin. He's probably still bleating about Rosie O'Donnell for whatever reason...
Oh, so he lied. And how is this news?
It's not News, it's Sames. It's easy to confuse the 2 because they usually contain similar content--esp when dealing with Herr Trump
He can't follow through? I am shocked. Shocked! If only we had some historical precedent for this like him promising to build a wall on a previous presidential term and then halfassing a fence.
Didn't his fence blow over?
He will however fulfil everyone’s expectations of using his position to make money for himself. And half the country dreams of doing that, so they voted for him.
The word “shift” is carrying all the weight known to man in this headline.
LOL, what flowery language in that headline.
"Habitual Fucking Liar Lies Again" doesn't sound all that newsworthy.
Wait, what!?
WHAT!?
