So lets go thru that list....from the bottom up.

10. Lower inflation is a two word empty promise. Does he tell you how? If it could be lowered just like that..........why do you think no one else has done it? Because Biden liked the rap of high inflation being his fault??? Empty words. In fact one of his promises is to ADD 40% more than we nor pay on EVERYTHING by re-instating his tariffs at a higher rate than before. That should lower prices, huh?

9. Create jobs. ;-) ;-) ;-) His policies lost more jobs in 4 years than the last 3 Republican presidents combined. His tariffs ran companies out of the U.S.......and that was 10% to 15% tariffs. What will 40% tariffs do to bring them back. Lie.

8. Lower gas prices. LIE. The U.S. is already the #1 crude producer in the entire world. So why aren't gas prices low? Because EVERY DROP we drill and sell is in the WORLD MARKET. We sell to the world market....and the world market sets crude prices.......not us. So if we drilled a million barrels a day moee.............in order to keep crude prices stable the Saudi's would drill a million barrels LESS (as they are doing now) to keep the world supply constant.

7. LIE. Trump's plan...Project 2025..........is to fire 50,000 + current people in offices in government that are experts in every field and replace them with untrained., inexperienced people who pass a loyalty test to the Fuhrer........yes men. for trump. There is NO GOAL to improve ANYTHING OR FIX ANYTHING............ONLY will they do ANYTHING he tells them to do. Read Project 2025.

6. Ramp up the military. LIE. Ramping up means to increase numbers of boots on the ground. Unless he re-instates the draft that promise is hollow. Enlistment is voluntary.............he has no control of voluntary enlistments. The military budget is set by Congress.............not him. So he has no say over how much that gets increased either.

5. What a joke. Cut spending? ;-) ;-) trump raised the national debt more himself in 4 years than any president EVER has in 245 + years of American history and he had what to show for it? Richer billionaires.

4. Project 2025 and trump himself have VOWED one of his first actions in office will to be to totally end Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid.. Yeah he'll end taxes on the payouts alright....by ending both programs. His "plan" is not to end both outright but rather to give us a "big middle class tax cut."...................meaning he will end FICA payroll taxes, That will starve Social Security and Medicare of funding and both will run out of money by 2027. This is a con job lie.

3. No tax on tips. ;-) Tips are not taxed anyway.............unless a person is stupid enough to VOLUNTARILY claim a stated amount of them on their taxes....and who EVER does that anyway?? Tips are completely unreported........because they never are known to the employer. This is total bullshit promise.

2. Iran and Russia are already sanctioned to the max In trump's first term he tried 4 times unsuccessfully to remove ALL sanctions from Russia. In fact sanctions against Russia for receiving engines and transmissions used in the Russian military was put on Russia during Obama. It just so happens that Pence's brother owns the SOLE pant in the United States that makes engines and trans sold to Russia. That is why a nobody like Pence was named as VP. Pences first..andbasically only job with trump was to remove those sanctions so brother could go back to selling to the Russian military.......................that then used those parts to create the machinery ...tanks and trucks..........to invade Ukraine. And China will NEVER be sanctioned. He intends to tariff them....AGAIN..................which will cost US not them............but he has no control over sanctions. That is Congressional and it won't happen because of world trade markets and global productions of U.S. owned products made in China... More bullshit.

1. Close the border. trump......if he gets elected....trump wants to resurrect the border bill HE killed. Which in fact will result in no less immigration numbers at the border than the number is now being encountered at the Border since the EO to restrict immigration was issued by Biden. The border will NEVER be closed. Crossings for NAAFTA...CAAFTA....daily border crossings for work permits...trucks...cars that freely travel back and forth daily.....will never stop. And the immigration "problem" was never at the border anyway. By INS's own figures 74% of all illegals in the U.S. come here legally on vacations, student visa, work visas, college visas and overstay their visas. the "caravans" was Republican hype from day #1. Ask ANYONE that lives in a border town in Texas. The only "caravans" that disrupted their communities were the flag waving truck and car caravans of trumpers drive to Texas and finally left because they saw nothing to support the FOX bullshit they were told.

Read some history. Read Project 2025. Remember 8 years ago. Out of over 100 promises made to get elected the ONLY one that trump kept was the tax break for the rich. That's why he was ranked the worst president in 245+ years and voted out. This time around he is ONLY wanting to be reelected to pardon himself of at least 50 years in prison on federal felonies. He's a nonstop liar and con man and convicted fraud and felon. The ONLY ones in America that can't or won't see thru him is his cult. Wake up

@anythingoes477 Didn't take the time nor will I. First your not in the states and second you are mistaken about your facts.
@nudistsueaz I live in the U.S. and have all of my life and if my facts are wrong....show me where. Show me links that correct what i said on any point with whatever you think is truth instead
@anythingoes477 One correction - these days, nearly all tips are on credit cards. Hardly anyone leaves cash tips anymore. So these are tracked and reported.

The federal minimum wage for tipped employees is still $2.13 per hour, unchanged since the early 90s. If the worker doesn't earn at least $7.25 per hour with tips added to that, the employer must make up the difference. However, since tips are income, I don't see why they shouldn't be taxed.

I would rather see the tip credit eliminated, with tipped workers making minimum wage free and clear.
@anythingoes477 Thank you for your very nice run-down!
@LeopoldBloom Youre right about adding tips to cards for most. I do not do that. If i pay with a card i always tip in cash. The waiter gets his money immediately that way...unreported.
