Trump loves to brag about keeping promises. And in a twisted way, maybe he has — just not the ones anyone asked for.

He said he’d make America great again. What we got instead was a four-year lesson in what happens when a man with no understanding of economics, geopolitics, or humility is handed the most powerful job on Earth. His entire worldview is based on transactional thinking, like a used car dealer who thinks global power works the same way as stiffing contractors on a hotel bill. He doesn’t see global alliances as strategic — just as unpaid invoices. He doesn’t understand that the U.S. dollar is dominant not because of brute force, but because of trust, stability, and smart diplomacy. All of which he’s been actively torching.

He thinks pulling out of global institutions makes America “stronger” — as if isolationism ever built an empire. He thinks trade deficits mean you’re being “ripped off,” when they’re actually just a function of being the world’s consumer hub and reserve currency issuer. He complains about NATO, ignoring the fact that the U.S. gains enormous geopolitical leverage through its leadership. He cries about foreign aid while completely missing that those dollars buy influence, not sympathy.

Meanwhile, back home, the rich got richer, the middle class got hollowed out, and the working poor got slogans. And now, with wages stagnant, savings drained, and economic inequality wider than ever, fewer Americans have to worry about capital gains tax — because no one’s making any gains. Income tax? That’s also becoming optional, because many no longer have income to tax.

So yes, promise kept. But not the kind you put on a bumper sticker — more like the kind etched on the side of a sinking ship.

Trump isn’t just clueless — he’s dangerous in his ignorance. Not because he’s different from other presidents, but because he’s worse at hiding the fact that he has no clue how the world works. And millions are still paying the price for mistaking noise for leadership.

Trump isn’t a disruptor — he’s a demolition job with no blueprint. A man so obsessed with winning, he doesn’t care if he burns down the house as long as he gets to sit on the ashes and call it a throne. He masquerades ignorance as strength, cowardice as patriotism, and selfishness as strategy. He’s not leading a nation — he’s conning it, dragging millions down with him while selling them the illusion of greatness. And the saddest part? He’s too arrogant to even know he’s losing.
