Trump's Year of Loud Promises, Quiet Failures
In 2025, President Donald Trump's supporters are starting to feel let down. They expected big changes, but what they got was a lot of noise and very little action.
Promises vs. Reality
Trump made big promises. He said he would:
- Fix the economy
- Stop outsourcing
- Deport lots of people
But none of that really happened. The economy is worse, with:
- Higher unemployment
- Rising prices
- Fewer manufacturing jobs
- Increased outsourcing
- A bigger trade deficit than ever
Deportations: Talk vs. Action
What about deportations? Trump talked a big game, but he's actually deporting fewer people than his predecessors.
Chaos in the Administration
His administration is in chaos, with:
- Top officials getting fired
- Meetings turning into shouting matches
Peace and War
Trump promised to end wars and bring peace. But:
- The war in Ukraine is still going
- His cuts to foreign aid could lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths
- His idea of peace seems to involve causing a lot of pain
The "Deep State" and the "Swamp"
Trump claims he's fighting the "deep state" and "draining the swamp." But all he's really done is:
- Fire competent people
- Create a two-tiered justice system
- Use pardons and prosecutions to show that the rules don't apply to him and his friends
Crime Rates and Education
Crime rates are falling, but that's not because of Trump. It's been happening since before he took office. And his attacks on schools and institutions are just making things worse.
The Show vs. Reality
Trump seems to think he can distract people with his antics. But his supporters are starting to see through it. They're realizing that there's nothing behind the show.
With Republicans in Congress in disarray and no plan for 2026, the only question is how long it will take for everyone else to wake up.
