He never said that Mexico would write a check for it.


I guess you all failed in math also as a $25 billion wall is a lot cheaper than the over $100 billion a year that illegal aliens cost us.
this number has been analyzed and there is no proof that is what they 'cost us'. This is some made up number to try and justify policy.

You can continue to stand by it and repeat it over and over -- but it does nothing to validate your opinion.

I suspect this thread is not going the way OP intended.

Yes, I do remember Trump's promises.

1) Repeal & Replace Obamacare - FAILURE. Obamacare is alive and well today . So much for "same day, maybe same hour"

2) Build a wall and Mexico pay for it - FAILURE. Two years into his presidency after having total control of congress, there's no wall. And it turns out Mexico isn't going to pay for it. The US gov't is currently shutdown as Trump is holding the American people hostage as he fights for US TAXPAYER funds to pay for the wall.

3) Investigate Hillary - LIE. He promised his supporters on the campaign trail that he would hire a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton. Thousands of his supporters would chant "lock her up" at his rallies. But LITERALLY 24 hours after he won the election, Trump released a statement that he would not be investigating Clinton, at all.


Donald Trump is 0 for 3 on his three biggest campaign promises.

Me too!

I'm also waiting for the 'far better than the ACA' plan he promised time after time after time would be in place soon after he took office.

He'd no doubt tell you he's the most consistent POTUS ever.

You elected an incompetent braggart and you have no fact-based response to criticism. "Bad Orange Man" isn't clever or succinct, it's a retreat from the conversation.
