Epstein Files Released
The Promise: During the 2024 campaign, Trump promised to release the files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The Outcome: After initial delays and calling the push to release files a "Democrat hoax" in mid-2025, Trump reversed his position under pressure from allies and victims. On November 20, 2025, he signed a bill passed by Congress ordering the Justice Department to release the Epstein files within 30 days. The release of the "Epstein Files"—a massive trove of documents, images, and videos related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, released by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) starting in late 2025—has been plagued by significant issues, including technical failures, privacy breaches, and allegations of political interference.
"No New War" Promise
The Promise: Trump campaigned on a "no new wars" platform, promising to end existing conflicts and avoid new ones.
The Outcome: By March 2026, reports indicated that the US military had initiated an open-ended war in Iran, with a March 2026 report noting a "new war" and continued bombing, contradicting his campaign pledge.
Costs Down
The Promise: Trump promised in August 2024 to "immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One" of his second term.
The Outcome: By March and April 2026, reports indicated that inflation, high energy costs, and the economic impact of his tariffs were making life more expensive, rather than cheaper. The economic situation was characterized by one report as a continuation of "higher prices and new war".

@whowasthatmaskedman Call my congresswoman, march, vote, cry and apologize profusely to the world at large. Any other suggestions?
Trump controls all three branches of government. There are NO checks and balances. All we can hope for is to stall his "progress".

@whiskeyinateacup Suggestions? A few that dont involve the protests, which the administration is ignoring completely or writing your congressman, which is pointless. You can either find ways to game the system where you are, for your own benefit.. Boycotting companies you dont like civil disobedience to cost the govt time or money. Or move to a location and deny to government your spending and your taxes. they dont care about your opinion or your vote.. Only your money... 😷
