Dumpster said coronavirus would “go away without a vaccine.”        But it didn’t. While other countries got the pandemic under control        and avoided large numbers of fatalities, the virus has killed more        than 170,000 Americans, and that number is still climbing.              2. Dumpster said he won’t have time to play golf if elected president.        But he has made more than 250 visits to his golf clubs since he took        office—a record for any president—including more trips during the        pandemic than meetings with Dr. Fauci. The total financial cost to America?        More than $136 million.              3. Dumpster said he would repeal the Affordable Care Act, and        replace it with something “beautiful.” It didn’t happen. Instead, seven        million Americans have lost their health insurance since he took        office. Dumpster has asked the Supreme Court to strike down the law in the       middle of a global pandemic with no plan to replace it.              4. Dumpster said he’d cut your taxes, and that the super-rich like him        would pay more. Dumpster did the opposite. By 2027, the richest 1        percent will have received 83 percent of the Trump tax cut and the        richest 0.1 percent, 60 percent of it. But more than half of all        Americans will pay more in taxes.              5. Dumpster said corporations would use their tax cuts to invest in        American workers. They didn’t. Corporations spent more of their tax        savings buying back shares of their own stock than increasing        workers’ wages.              6. Dumpster said he would boost economic growth by 4 percent a        year. Nope. The economy stalled, and unemployment has soared to        the highest levels since the Great Depression. Just over half of        working-age Americans are employed—the worst ratio in 70 years.              7. Dumpster said he wouldn’t “cut Social Security like every other        Republican and I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid.” His        latest budget includes billions in cuts to Social Security, Medicare,        and Medicaid.              8. Dumpster promised to be “the voice” of American workers.        Dumpster hasn’t. His administration has stripped workers of their        rights, repealed overtime protections, rolled back workplace safety        rules, and turned a blind eye to employers who steal their workers’ wages.              9. Dumpster promised that the average American family would see a        $4,000 pay raise because of his tax cuts for the wealthy and        corporations. But nothing trickled down. Wages for most Americans        have barely kept up with inflation.               10. Dumpster promised that anyone who wants a test for COVID will        get one. But countless Americans still can’t get a test.              11. Dumpster said hydroxychloroquine protects against coronavirus.        No way. The FDA revoked its emergency authorization due to the        drug’s potentially lethal side effects.              12. Dumpster promised to eliminate the federal deficit. Dumpster has        increased the federal deficit by more than 60 percent.              13. Dumpster said he would hire “only the best people.” He has fired        a record number of his own Cabinet and White House picks, and then        called them “whackos,” “dumb as a rock,” and “not mentally        qualified.” Six of them have been charged with crimes.              14. Dumpster promised to bring down the price of prescription drugs        and said drug companies are “getting away with murder.” They still        are. Drug prices have soared, and a company that got federal funds to        develop a drug to treat coronavirus is charging $3,000 a pop.              15. Dumpster promised to revive the struggling coal industry and        bring back lost coal mining jobs. The coal industry has continued to        lose jobs as clean energy becomes cheaper.              16. Dumpster promised to help American workers during the        pandemic. But 80 percent of the tax benefits in the coronavirus        stimulus package have gone to millionaires and billionaires. And at        least 21 million Americans have lost extra unemployment benefits,        with no new stimulus check to fall back on.              17. Dumpster said he’d drain the swamp. Instead, he’s brought into        his administration more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls        than in any administration in history, and he’s filled departments and        agencies with former lobbyists, lawyers, and consultants who are        crafting new policies for the same industries they used to work for.              18. Dumpster promised to protect Americans with pre-existing        conditions. His Justice Department is trying to repeal the entire        Affordable Care Act, including protections for people with pre-       existing conditions.              19. Dumpster said Mexico would pay for his border wall. The wall        will cost American taxpayers an estimated $11 billion.              20. Dumpster promised to bring peace to the Middle East. Instead,        tensions have increased and his so-called “peace plan” was dead on arrival.              21. Dumpster promised to lock up Hillary Clinton for using a private        email server. Dumpster didn’t. Funny enough, Trump uses his        personal cellphone for official business, and several members of his        own administration, including Jared Kushner and Ivanka, have used        private email in the White House.              22. Dumpster promised to use his business experience to whip the        federal government into shape. Dumpster hasn’t. His White House is        in permanent chaos. Dumpster caused the longest government        shutdown in our nation’s history when he didn’t get funding for his wall.              23. Dumpster promised to end DACA. The Supreme Court ruled that        his plan to deport 700,000 young immigrants was unconstitutional,        and DACA still stands.              24. Dumpster promised “six weeks of paid maternity leave to any        mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the        benefit.” He hasn’t delivered.              25. Dumpster promised to bring an end to Kim Jong Un’s nuclear        program. Kim is expanding North Korea’s nuclear program.              26. Dumpster said he would distance himself from his businesses        while in office. Dumpster continues to make money from his               [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
