Donald Trump Seems to Retreat on Some Promises
« on: November 22, 2016, 11:57:04 pm »
A different pull quote from the article, unrelated to the flip flopping jumped out... It sounds like he now also walking back putting his business in his kid's hands, reducing his conflict of interest issue.


Quote
...He said he had no obligation to establish boundaries between his business empire and his White House, conceding that the Trump brand “is certainly a hotter brand than it was before.....

He will refuse to hold Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation to a standard that he doesn't want to be held to at a later date.

"Seems to"???

There is no "seems" about it.  Trump is repudiating his campaign promises lickety-split

Unfortunately, I fear you are right about that.  Just think how many positive changes Trump can make for his business, his family's future wealth and for his own name in just four years.

It might be worthwhile to start a Donald walk back list.

If it includes 'walk forth' as well, it will wind up looking like a really weird dance chart... Or a drunk guy trying to walk home...

I'm just changing the color of his promises from blue to red for now questionable or grossly modified, orange for reneged.  First post on this thread http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,233460.0.html, and post 27 http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,233460.msg1134737.html#msg1134737 have many of his promises, with links to the sources, and will change color as he reneges.

Good idea.  :beer:

Why not copy the ones from post 27 into the first one - means less scrolling.

Not a bad idea, thanks! I'll copy them in and leave them in post 27 also, just so no one can claim they have been messed with in the future. 888high58888

It will be a whole easier to keep a list of what he follows through with - if anything.
