If you expect former President Donald Trump to fulfill even one campaign promise he is making for 2024, you would have to explain why he is openly mocking the idea that he could fulfill the promise that defined his entire candidacy in 2016.
The core promise of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign was that he would build a wall on the southern border and make Mexico pay for it. This is what defined his tough-on-illegal-immigration approach, and he even mocked detractors who said that he would not or could not possibly do it. As late as October 2020, less than one month before he lost reelection, Trump was saying that Mexico was indeed paying for the border wall.
Trump says you’re a loser if you expected him to get Mexico to pay for “a piece of the wall.” pic.twitter.com/d4LoKJwsN2 — DeSantis War Room 🐊 October 29, 2023 It was all a sham. Trump knew, if not when he was a candidate then certainly when he was president, that he would not follow through on it. He kept up the charade until he was booted from office. Now, he thinks you’re a loser if you ever believed it, but he wants to tell you all about the new campaign promises he is making.
Trump is already the least likely of the serious GOP candidates to beat President Joe Biden in the first place, so if he isn’t going to follow through on his campaign promises, what is the point of any of this? There is no vision and no real plan for Trump to win or to do much of anything if he does win. It would be a devastating mistake for GOP voters to put the fate of the country in his hands again.
