Because #TrumpIsACompleteFailure in every way imaginable it's easy to forget ALL of the ways he's failed us. With the election just 100 days away, this THREAD and the attached article recap 10 key examples of Trump’s broken promises and colossal failures: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/trump-the-di…
#TrumpIsACompleteFailure Instead of the jobs he promised, Trump has presided over one of the worst economic disasters in American history. Since he became President: 7.8 million jobs have been lost — including 7,100 coal mining jobs and 274,000 manufacturing jobs. (2/11)
#TrumpIsACompleteFailure Instead of the “phenomenal” healthcare he promised, we have an out-of-control pandemic caused by a total failure in public health leadership, surging hospitalization rates, a growing death toll—and even Trump death panels. (3/11) thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-trump-de…
#TrumpIsACompleteFailure Instead of reducing the $19.9T debt he inherited to zero as promised, Trump’s failed policies ballooned the deficit & sent the debt soaring to $24T in his first 3 years. The Trump Crash of 2020 has exploded the debt further, to the current $26.5T. (4/11)
#TrumpIsACompleteFailure Instead of the “skyrocketing” 6% economic growth Trump promised his tax giveaway to corporations & the already-wealthy would deliver, we are experiencing an 8% crash in GDP—even as Europe and Asia, under more competent leadership, suffer far less. (5/11)
#TrumpIsACompleteFailure Instead of protecting #Medicare & #SocialSecurity, Trump announced on Fox News in March that those programs would be cut if he won re-election. If the GOP retains power, those cuts will be even more brutal than Trump imagined just a few months ago. (6/11)
#TrumpIsACompleteFailure Instead of making our cities safer, Trump has doubled down on racist rhetoric & policies—while failing to contain a deadly pandemic. Under Obama, Trump blamed the President for social unrest and urban crime. Today, he says the buck stops elsewhere. (7/11)
#TrumpIsACompleteFailure The world agrees we must #ActOnClimate, but Trump has delivered only environmental devastation—with deregulation that benefits corporate polluters and hits vulnerable populations hard. Like the American people, the planet can't take 4 more years. (8/11)
#TrumpIsACompleteFailure Instead of rebuilding manufacturing like he promised, Trump’s idiotic trade wars & tariffs plunged our manufacturing sector into a recession for all of 2019, setting the stage for the full-blown #TrumpRecession which began in February of this year. (9/11)
#TrumpIsACompleteFailure Instead of protecting “the gays” like he promised he would, Trump has waged an all-out war on the #LGBTQ community in schools, in healthcare, in housing, in the workplace, in the judiciary & around the world. (10/11)

#TrumpIsACompleteFailure Instead of fighting #corruption, Trump has abandoned any pretense of draining the swamp. He’s just filling it with bigger reptiles. Even the worst pandemic in 100 years didn’t slow down Trump’s relentless self-dealing, #emoluments & ethics abuses. (11/11)
