Bingo. Promises, for Trump, are fulfilled upon announcement, and then forgotten. The examples are legion.
Honestly what else is new? I voted for Obama on pledges he'd end the war in Iraq and close down the constitutional abomination that is Guantanamo. 8 years later and here we are.

So, he is already a real politician. Any different to Obama promising to close Guantanamo bay? And I say this as an Obama supporter.

the polls are rigged! he actually won by more!
You were downvoted, but I have actually heard this precise sentiment - Clinton didn't demand a recount because it helps her hide the evidence that she cheated.

Bull. There aren't examples and for you to say hat, speaks falsely to honesty and openness. Check your lies at the door.
A few forgotten promises from the campaign trail: "I will release my tax returns when Obama releases his birth certificate." - http://blogs.abcnews.com/george/2011/04/donald-trump-intervi...

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe you misunderstood the parent post. They were pointing out the hypocrisy of caring about unprotected email servers now while not caring when it was done by a member of the same party. I don't believe the parent comment was saying that unprotected email servers are a-okay, just voicing frustration at the hypocrisy of the Republican party on that particular issue. It's possible tha…

I may have been a bit hyperbolic about freeloaders. The bigger point I want to make is that the standard deviation on returns of a single venture like Trump's is so large that you cannot meaningfully compare it to a highly-diversified basket of stocks. To use your analogy, it'd be like evaluating the effectiveness of a coach in a swimming event by picking a single one of their swimmers and comparing them to the avera…
I feel like you're making an argument against your thesis instead of for it (?). With higher risk, you expect higher return... so isn't that another tick against Trump's "success"? His ventures were way riskier than an index fund (see bankruptcies and losses), yet they had a markedly lower return. That means they were not good investments.
I disbelieve (1) because of his multiple high-profile bankruptcies.

If he doesn't keep his word we'll have ammo to oust him in 4 years, perhaps impeach him sooner, perhaps revise congress in 2 years. Otherwise, we get the change we want.
