Promises in Peril?

I am in the middle of reading an interesting (and long) article by Jenna Johnson in The Washington Post titled, "'I will give you everything.' Here are 282 of Donald Trump's campaign promises." It packs quite a punch. It simply takes the president at his word. They are the things he said on the campaign trail.

Here are some I find the most interesting:

--"Create at least 25 million jobs and 'be the greatest jobs president that God ever created.'"

--"Bring back manufacturing jobs from China, Mexico, Japan and elsewhere. States that can expect a rush of jobs include Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, Florida, New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, New York and Virginia."

--"'Get Apple to start building their damn computers and things in this country, instead of in other countries.'"

--"Make the auto industry in Michigan 'bigger and better and stronger than ever before.' Trump plans to return to the state each time a new factory or auto plant opens."

--"Bring the coal industry back to life in the Appalachian Mountain region."

--"Release his tax returns as soon as an Internal Revenue Service audit is complete."

--"Refuse to eat another Oreo until Nabisco fully moves production back to the United States from Mexico."

So far it's an interesting article (I've read up to #63).

Yet, something tells me that President Trump will not do well with these promises. It's rather depressing.

I think I'll go eat a whole bag of Oreos.
