[That would be day three in Trump Time]. Some, he assured his supporters, would be fulfilled in the first hour. To be sure, his proclamations were so outrageous that a rational person wouldn&#8217;t have believed he could possibly come through. That says nothing, though, of what his voters were thinking. What follows are some of the more notable first day vows Trump has already failed to keep.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Start construction on a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico.<\/li>\n<li>Tell Congress to pass a bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare.<\/li>\n<li>Immediately suspend the Syrian refugee program.<\/li>\n<li>Suspend all immigration from countries where vetting is &#8220;difficult.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Stop funding for climate change programs at the U.N.<\/li>\n<li>Order his generals to submit a plan within 30 days to defeat ISIS.<\/li>\n<li>Halt all federal funding to &#8220;sanctuary cities.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Call on Congress to pass &#8220;Kate&#8217;s Law.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Revoke Obama&#8217;s &#8220;illegal executive amnesties,&#8221; i.e. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)<\/li>\n<li>Immediately deport what he says are 2 million criminal illegal immigrants.<\/li>\n<li>Direct his treasury secretary to label China a currency manipulator.<\/li>\n<li>Approve the Keystone XL pipeline and lift restrictions on coal and oil development.<\/li>\n<li>Get rid of gun-free zones in schools.<\/li>\n<li>Propose a Constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress.<\/li>\n<li>Ban former congressional officials from lobbying for five years.<\/li>\n<li>Ban former White House officials from lobbying for life.<\/li>\n<li>Undo &#8220;every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama.&#8221; Whatever that means.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s ambitions as a candidate were ludicrously overblown and unachievable. However, his credibility, like all politicians, rests on setting reasonable goals and following through. He could not have possibly been telling the truth when making all of these promises.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Therefore, his supporters were misled and have every right to be disappointed, if not incensed.
