In shift, Trump downgrades soaring rhetoric on campaign promises

President-elect Trump on the campaign trail made grandiose promises to voters to bring down costs quickly, to end the war in Ukraine before he even took office and to use tariffs to bolster the U.S. economy and manufacturing.

Since winning November’s election, Trump has indicated delivering on those promises may not be as simple as advertised.

Trump in a recent “Meet the Press” interview said he could not guarantee tariffs would not lead to higher consumer prices.

He acknowledged in a Time magazine interview for his Person of the Year honor that it’s difficult to bring down the cost of groceries once they’ve gone up.

And in his first post-election press conference from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., Trump suggested ending the war in Ukraine would be more difficult than easing tensions in the Middle East.

While Democrats and critics accused Trump of lowering expectations or signaling he would not deliver on his campaign promises, the Trump transition and other allies argued it was the president-elect shifting from sweeping campaign rhetoric to the nuances and realities of governing.

But most won't, and even those that do would still have gladly voted for him last month. Most of these people are MAGAts for life, and not even realizing that Dear Leader has conned them yet again would change their votes. If they can't have the substance of his promises and threats - like deporting all illegal immigrants - they'll gladly settle for the rhetoric and verbal abuse and insults of people and groups they hate.

All four pillars of the Trump campaign are over before the administration has even begun.

I guess they'll have to focus on trannies.

Russia rejects Trump team's reported peace deal proposals on Ukraine, FM Lavrov says

Earlier reports from the Wall Street Journal indicated that Trump’s team is considering a plan to delay Ukraine’s NATO membership by at least 20 years in exchange for continued Western arms supplies and the deployment of European peacekeepers to monitor a ceasefire.

this was a potemkin "offer." it was never intended to be accepted. it was intended to give putin cover by making it look as though trump was trying. though, not too hard. under that plan, russia keeps the land it took; ukraine has to stay out of nato; and russia gets free of sanctions while giving up . . . . nothing. hmm.

although, it would be funny for ukraine to accept that deal, wait for hostilities to die down, and then join nato in three years and tell putin to suck their dicks.

Don't laugh - as their other goals collapse they may very likely decide to dig down on the culture war stuff, such as going after transgender rights at the national level. That's what animates most of their base anyway, at least other than tax cuts (which many of them are unlikely to actually see).

So, trump, musk, and vivek are not elites?

You're a lawyer that lives in Buckhead, one of the priciest ever not fulmost affluent parts of Atlanta, you don't believe that the average Joe sees you as elite?

I believe you actually proved @wmheel1287 point about voters not thinking.

Despite all of my hints, I didn’t get any Trump merch for Christmas. My daughter did give my wife a personalized Trump mug and a Trump-dressed-like-an-elf ornament so at least I can enjoy that on our tree next year.

Keep thinking that way as that's a sure fire way to regain power.

The US is simply following the Western World's general rejection of governments ruled by Elites with their excessive regulations, wokeness, nanny state rule making, green agenda and open borders. You see this change throughout Western Europe and Canada. A lot of this is in reaction to the heavy handedness of these governments during COVID. Normal people of the World Unite!

I guess. Let's not pretend that Trump has any strategic plan, or a concept thereof. There's something transactional at play...like stalling or some forgiveness for the $1B Trump still owes to oligarchs.

No matter how many times it is pointed out to conservatives that polls consistently show that a "green agenda" and "wokeness" are actually quite popular with a majority of Americans, or that those "nanny state" regulations during covid actually helped to save people's lives, and that what Republicans mean by rolling back "excessive regulations" are rolling back things like polio vaccine mandates and the FDA that help to provide sanitary food, they still keep posting this stuff, not only here but on social media and elsewhere. It's the usual case of if they say it over and over enough it becomes true, at least to them.

Also, I thought Trump won because of the economy, not all of this culture war stuff. It would be nice if conservatives could make up their minds as to what gave Dear Leader his victory (by all of 1.3% in the popular vote, one of the closest ever). In some posts it's the economy, but in another thread it's "wokeness" and "excessive nanny state regulations" and in another thread it's Democrats promoting "transgenderism." Whatever works at the moment I guess.
