    Trump said stuff to get elected, just like politicians do. He goes even farther and says crazy stuff so the media keeps him in the news, and it worked again.

    I don’t believe half of what he says, maybe more.

    I won’t waste one minute of my time worrying about or plotting his progress, or throwing out “I told you so’s”. It doesn’t matter.

    Ha. Always enjoy a sports reference. It is a fair question. If OP wants to hold DJT accountable what percentage is considered successful? 20% Mendoza ? 40%? Or does trump need to keep 75% plus? Or is 90% kept considered a liar in chief.

    y'all can scream all you want but it really doesn't matter as he has 4 years to get everything done- do I think he will get everything he tries or says he will get done, done. No. No President has every got everything he has promised. Do I think he will try - yes I do. You throw enough stuff on the wall some of it is going to stick.

    We have 4 years of his record. Why should we think the second 4 years, as an elected lame duck, will be any different?

    I suspect that he will have a similar rate of success during his second term.

    Still waiting…. What percentage of ‘promises’ is considered good on the Citygator or OP scale since you have made it apparent over the years only your scales and definitions matter ? It’s a reasonable question. 20%. 50%. 75%. ? 99%

    I have a well-stocked whiskey bar, but not that well-stocked.

    Makes sense, provide optics that will make the news and scare the living shit out anyone with brown skin who is fluent in Spanish, legal resident, citizen, or not.

    I would also guess that the chances are that most of the immigrants apprehended in the first round of show raids probably have not committed serious crimes contrary to what Trump and is spokesmen have been saying about whom they will be initially targeting. They most likely have been reporting to ICE regularly making them very easy to locate.

    From the same website you linked and trust shows that Biden kept most of his promises (64/36%) and Trump broke most of his promises (47/53%). Keep in mind.
