Promises and Misses

Wake up, America!

With only a few weeks before the 2020 election, Donald Trump is busy making promises:

  • US vaccine approval by October.
  • enough doses of a Covid-19 vaccine for every American by April.
  • $13 billion in additional aid to Puerto Rico
  • promise to eliminate the payroll tax
  • a health plan to replace the Affordable Care Act that’s “all ready”

As he makes these promises, the talking heads totally miss the point.

They talk ad nauseam about how Trump's promises will not and/or cannot be kept before election day and remind us of Trump's false promises of things (his health care plan, releasing his taxes, etc.) that “will happen very soon.”

Once again, they’ve been distracted by the words of a con artist, words which are never substantive, but rather manipulative.

Trump knows full well that most votes will be cast by mail long before November 3. He is making these promises to lock in as many votes as possible of people currently leaning toward him before more shit hits the fan and they change their minds.
