Donald Trump’s Inaugural Address — January 20, 2017:
From this day forward, it's going to be only America first. America first. Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit American workers and American families.
Trump Administration Action, Inauguration Day, 2017:
The freshly-inaugurated Trump administration has halted a cut to the FHA mortgage insurance premium that Obama's team announced during his final days in office.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development said Friday that the reduction to the annual mortgage insurance premiums borrowers pay when taking out government-backed home loans has been "suspended indefinitely."
The cut, at a quarter of a percentage point, would have saved homeowners an average of $500 this year, according to the Federal Housing Administration.
Borrowers with larger home loans would have seen an even bigger drop in their premium rate.
Yup….EVERY decision will benefit American workers. EVERY one. Stand by coal miners. He’ll be making decisions that help you very soon. Stand by Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid recipients. You too will be enjoying the benefits of his EVERY decision on your behalf.
I encourage everyone who spots similar gaps between Trump promises and practice to post them on Kos under the Liesarchive tag.
I am no doubt missing others already.
