Trump's Promises vs. Reality | WTP #147

Sal Assante delivers a no-holds-barred interview-style deep dive into Trump's 2024 campaign promises—where they hit home and where they've crashed. Border security and mass deportations? Major strides with sharp drops in crossings, expanded detention, and National Guard deployments. But the Iran war? A "major failure" costing trillions, spiking fuel prices, and fueling inflation—far from "ending wars." National debt spirals toward crisis, military overspend balloons, Middle East entanglements escalate, and government weaponization/persecution lingers. Plus: Joe Kent's bombshell resignation as counterterrorism chief over the Iran push, highlighting elite pressures and broken anti-war vows. "US war costs exceed $8 trillion"—promises made, but the 'swamp' endures. 🔗 Useful Links:Follow on Substack: https://wethepatriots.substack.com/Watch on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UC0Z_Rt_SiPa_HGuyyNW5fLw/?themeRefresh=1Follow Sal on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salassante?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X.com: @Sal_assante4Timestamps:00:00 Intro03:45 Evaluating Trump's Key Campaign Promises20:11 Resignation of Joe Kent and Its Implications31:11 Reflections on Trump's Administration and Future Outlook
