where's the new middle class tax cut he said he had ready to roll out?
Don't know about you, but my hubby and I are enjoying the new middle class tax cut that must have rolled past you last year and currently has been quite beneficial.
where's the cheaper better healthcare that was supposed to land on DAY ONE?
This obviously will take some time but he certainly has made great strides forward in cleaning up a lot of the bureaucratic waste and crap to ensure a smoother path.
is Mexico paying for the wall - no, we are!
No one expected Mexico to write a check...it time it will be obvious that trade agreements and such will eventually cover the majority of costs.
and, no he didn't get the military a 10% pay raise he bragged about. they got their standard raise and trump had nothing to do with it. he lied to YOU.

OK, so apparently Melania stretched the truth about having a degree. I'll grant you that. It seems she did attend the University of Ljubljana for a year, but then dropped out to be a supermodel.
Now, all you have to do to make me care is show me what that has to do with how the government is being run, who might have not voted for her husband if they had known she dropped out to become a supermodel, or what difference that makes in my life.
Shouldn't be too hard, right? You've got three choices there... pick one.

Fred continued the fiction about Sweden. His son, Donald, then memorialized the lie in The Art the Deal. A reporter in Vanity Fair asked him in 1990 if he were not in fact of German origin. Donald responded as was his wont, with what was almost certainly more lying.
“Actually, it was very difficult,” Donald replied. “My father was not German; my father’s parents were German… Swedish, and really sort of all over Europe… and I was even thinking in the second edition of putting more emphasis on other places because I was getting so many letters from Sweden: Would I come over and speak to Parliament? Would I come meet with the president?”
“[Fred] Trump would tell friends and acquaintances that he was of Swedish origin, although both his parents were born in Germany.”
Donald later owned up to the truth in his own particular way.
“I love Kallstadt!” he declared.

It was the biggest pay raise in almost 10 years, not "standard".[/quote
Military pay raises are tied to increases in private-sector wages, as calculated by the Department of Labor. Congress can also enact raises that exceed that rate, as well.
Trump insisted that he personally had fought for this raise, because the troops put their lives on the line.
"They said: 'You know, we could make it smaller. We could make it 3 percent. We could make it 2 percent. We could make it 4 percent.' I said: 'No. Make it 10 percent. Make it more than 10 percent,'" Trump told the troops. "Because it's been a long time. It's been more than 10 years. That's a long time. And, you know, you really put yourselves out there, and you put your lives out there. So congratulations."
The remarks came during the president's first trip to troops stationed in a combat zone, days after he announced he'd withdraw the U.S. from foreign wars in Syria and Afghanistan.
he lied.

Despite the 2.6 percent increase already being the largest in nine years, Trump exaggerated the amount by nearly four times its actual worth. He claimed he fought with “plenty of people” for the figure and repeated the false claim that it was the first raise for the troops in more than 10 years.
"They said, ‘You know, we could make it smaller. We could make it 3 percent. We could make it 2 percent. We could make it 4 percent,’” Trump said. “I said, ‘No. Make it 10 percent. Make it more than 10 percent.’

And he can change his mind. I would if I was him after all the fake investigations and Democrats admitting they are out to get him.
