We're supposed to just ignore those promises and cheer his lurch towards the left.
At least that's what the blind followers of Trump want us to do.
Actually he is following unfortunate precedent.
The members of Congress who promised to secure the borders, end Obamacare (not just change the label), reform the tax code, etc., etc., have consistently managed to renege on their promises too, many not making any visible effort whatsoever to further those ends which they were elected to pursue.
Nor, as it turns out, have nay meaningful attempts been made to enforce the law against other politicians who have made egregious and frequent (and on occasion, ridiculously rampant) violations of our laws.
For all this talk of a new Sheriff in town, I'm just seeing bid'ness as usual.
