Is Trump keeping all his promises? This MAGA couple doesn't think so.

[UpInArms]

SWAINSBORO, Ga. — Jessie Meadows told her mother-in-law not to panic when business slowed at the family flower shop last year. They just needed to hold on a little longer — until Donald Trump got back in office.

She’s still waiting for the turnaround.

The phone that used to ring all day during Trump’s first term sits mostly quiet. Customers are still reluctant to spend on an “extra” like flowers in her corner of small-town Georgia. A box of faux berries from China recently arrived at the shop with a note explaining that they cost 17 percent more because of Trump’s tariffs.
“Fruit’s getting outrageous now,” Meadows, 36, lamented to a customer one recent afternoon, explaining the rising price of the gift basket the woman orders every year for a friend’s birthday.

Trump campaigned on grand promises: Cut energy costs in half. “Immediately bring prices down.” “Drain the swamp.” Make IVF free and end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Now Meadows was starting to question the president’s ability to keep his word — and not just on the economy. She didn’t like his dismissive attitude toward MAGA Republicans who wanted to see the government’s full files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, after Trump said last year that he was “inclined” to release information on Epstein.

They have completed 47% of their objectives.

7. I think we can argue convincingly that this poor, deluded, brain-dead lady was already blind.

It's a shame she is only now discovering that pissing people off is a really, really poor reason for voting for someone.

8. I have no empathy for them any longer.

I spoke in sparks,
but you called them static.
I warned of wolves
and you called them friends.
I drew you a map in blood and tears,
but you said it clashed with your décor.

You told me to let it go,
as if truth were trash to be bagged up
and hauled out of polite conversation.
As if peace meant silence.
As if ignoring poison
makes it stop being poison.

You wanted comfort.
I offered clarity.
You looked away.

So when the mask slips from their face,
and their teeth find your neck,
do not come crawling
with questions I already answered.

Do not summon me
as the town crier for your ruin.

I am not your sacrifice.
I will not play Cassandra
to your pretty delusions.

What they do to you tomorrow
is not my burden
because you chose not to hear me today.

And if you call that bitterness,
so be it.
I call it freedom.

9. So she voted for Donald John "to p*ss off liberals"

She would have been better off voting for her interests instead of using her sh*t lists to form her choices. Oh, well….

Too bad.

10. Running government like a business.

"The large print giveth and the small print taketh away."

Trump is like one of those ads in the back of comic books promising "X-Ray Specs!" or "The Secret That Made a Man Out of Mac!"

What you get isn't anything like the description in the ad.
