5. Promises Unkept

May 9

As bad as this is (sounds), part of me says this guy can't deliver the goods. If these folks do give "billions" to tfg they shouldn't be surprised if they get far less than he promised.

Goes to show, $$$$ doesn't = intelligence.

Another tfg administration will kill the country through shear incompetence. The guy has the attention span of a gnat. He'll lurch from one stupid topic to another and accomplish nothing except making the media newsrooms happy covering crisis after crisis.
