Trump, candidate vs president

Candidate Trump ran as an isolationist. He said he'd bring the US troops home, no more wars. Peace with Syria and Russia.

Candidate Trump also promised to end foreign trade, repeating the Smoot-Hawley act of 1930 that stopped almost all US foreign trade. My school books said that the Smoot-Hawley bill made the Great Depression much worse. Prof Krugman won the Nobel Prize in Economics for his proof that Smoot-Hawley prevented the Great Depression from being much worse than it was.

Candidate Trump also promised to bring back jobs by incentives to produce coal, and an end to all environmental regulations.

President Trump agrees with Bush, jr and Obama. Obviously, Iran ordered 9/11, but no Iranians were among the hijackers, the thousands of jihadis who committed 9/11 were followers of the Iranian Ayatollahs from (in order of number of jihadis) Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, North Korea and Cuba. Not one Saudi had anything to do with 9/11, since all Saudis follow a peaceful, non-violent, vegetarian sect of Islam.

The US Senate voted to investigate if any Saudi might have been involved in 9/11, and Obama vetoed that bill, since it's been irrefutably proven that no Saudi had anything to do with 9/11.

So President Trump agrees that the US must keep lots of troops in Afghanistan, since those Afghans want to do another 9/11, but one that would cause far more damage if the US ever withdrew. One can easily see that the plurality of the 9/11 hijackers were Afghans, and the rest were Iraqis, Libyans, Syrians, North Koreans, and Cubans. So Trump, once he could see the intelligence only available to the president of the US, discovered that Bush, jr and Obama were right, and US troops must remain in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, and must liberate Syria, Iran, North Korea, and Cuba.

President Trump agrees with Candidate Trump about coal, and mines that were closed because it was too expensive to safely store mine waste can now dump that waste in drinking water supplies, but that's not a problem, since the US government is no longer allowed to test water, and, with no tests showing the water is unsafe, it's now safe to drink, lead and all. Lead is only dangerous if the water is tested and the lead is found. As long as the water's not tested, the lead isn't a problem.

So every day of his term, President Trump looks more and more like the kind of Great Leader the US deserves.
