I'm really mystified by the Ukraine peace on the first day, deal. Putin says he's willing to talk about ending the war but of course he'll demand some chunk of Ukraine's territory for that, which Ukraine doesn't want to give. Seems like a Charlie Foxtrot incoming on that one.

Ukraine doesn't have to give up any territory.

No worries. This is a big tent thread. There will be stretches of no modifications or updates to post after compiling the list and his last day in office.

Promise #8.

“While working Americans catch up, we’re going to put a temporary cap on credit card interest rates,” Trump said at a rally last week. “We can’t let them make 25 and 30%.”

Agree with you. We shouldn't subsidize high tax states.

Talk to me about your link on SALT. Headline uses "Trump suggests". Article quotes out of context from TruthSocial.

It strikes me like the no tax on OT which was floated more than pledges, promised, or proposed.

What do you think?

He says he will get SALT back. Id call that a pledge/promise.

I'm expressing skepticism of a particular promise. I don't think I'm alone on it.

Agreed. There's no ambiguity in that.
Updating op.

Great. Skeptics are required. Wanna keep this as objective and impartial as possible.

Hope you and any other skeptical folk will help out.

I hope he doesn't follow through with several of them. There certainly are some you can almost strike a line through it because it ain't happening. I'm not concerned whether or not he follows through with any of them. Greatest free entertainment of all time

Trump’s Proposed Overtime Tax Exemption Would Distort Work Decisions

Exempting overtime would unnecessarily complicate the tax code, increase compliance and administrative costs, and reduce neutrality by favoring certain work arrangements over others.

Trump Defends Debate Performance and Calls for Ending Tax on Overtime

Speaking at an event in Tucson, Ariz., former President Donald J. Trump called for eliminating taxes on overtime pay as he declared Tuesday’s debate a “monumental victory” for him.

Not trying to be combative but I read both articles. Both mentioned what he said. No direct quotes in tax foundation article. Only quote is second article was about hard working americans and overtime...but nothing about his promise.

I'll keep searching on my end. Please do same.

Feedback please.
This is an act sponsored by Cruz and already voted on 6/20/24. It is sitting in the Finance Committee for review.

Does DJT get credit if is becomes tax code?

Understood. Many, including me, think some are impossible without a CA and/or bad policy.

But I feel like it is too subjective to cull out those promises preemptively and leave the others.

If enough people feel strongly about it, I'll edit to reflect what the board wants.

This might be the ploy to get Putin to talk peace..

This is one of the major reasons that Putin invaded Ukraine. The killing of the Keystone XL pipeline and allowing Nordstream 2 from Russia to Europe was the beginning. Putin officially had Europe by the balls after that. Afghanistan was the final straw as it showed our weakness in that we weren't going to stand up to any force.

Start taking away Europe's energy dependence on Putin ala "drill baby drill" and you are going to start taking away his influence.

This is the start of the winning strategy. I foresee Europe being dependent on US energy by the end of Q2 next year and see Putin start coming to the negotiation table by the end of Q1.

He is going to turn things around so quickly.

I wasn't suggesting taking any out. The entire list leaves room for discussion on any one of them
