So President Trump Voters Are Cultists?!

I’ve NEVER heard of a Cult Leader (especially a political one seeking your vote) amassing a following by telling potential followers what he intends to do if he is given the chance and then absolutely following through on those promises made.. Usually the lies (in the form of promises) are told but the follow through is lost in the weeds once the ‘promiser’ convinces the ‘sheep’ to follow.

Remember these promises made by candidate Donald J. Trump in 2016 that produced the greatest economy in our lifetime.

1. – Tax cuts for working Americans and corporations
2. – Cutting regulations
3. – Lowering unemployment rate to the lowest in recent memory
4. – Raised household incomes
5. – Building a Southern Border Wall. The Wall is continuing to be built
6. – Pulling out of the Paris climate accord, that allows the world’s BIGGEST polluters to continue to pollute while financially forcing the U.S. to its knees
7. – Nominating conservative Supreme Court Justices
8. – No presidential salary
9. – Moved the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
10. – Renegotiated NAFTA
11. – Pulled U.S. out of Iran agreement
12. – Vastly improved trade with China, Imposing tariffs on goods made in China that brought about a new trade pact with China.
13. – Right to Try. The “right to try” bill gives terminally ill patients access to experimental treatments for their conditions that they might not otherwise receive.
14. – The Veterans’ Policy that was expanded so that more veterans could see their doctors of choice, instead of driving long distances to seek treatment.
15. – Lowering prescription drug prices
16. – Travel ban for select countries that harbored radical terrorists
17. – Funding for historically black colleges and universities
18. – Criminal justice reform
19. – Reducing refugee admissions
20. – Avoided the Trans-Pacific Partnership
21. – Supporting of ‘School Choice’
22. – Defeating ISIS
23. – Avoiding foreign wars
24. – Gradually bringing our troops home
25. – The re-building of our Obama-Depleted Military
26. – The forming of the U.S. Space Force
27. – Forming a peace between Israel and some of the regions Arab nations
28. – Having the country say “Merry Christmas” again

If voting for a person who makes political campaign promises and follows through on them makes me a ‘Cult’ member…  So be it!

To accept a leader fraudulently elected, is being a cultist to an evil permeated by a party determined to destroy the greatest country ever!  In my opinion.
