Trump’s 4 Most Bonkers Reelection Promises
Trump’s reelection stump speeches run from toilets and lightbulbs to your dishwasher and his hair
President Donald Trump’s stump speech has not changed a lot since he first launched his presidential bid in 2015; since then his racist bread-and-butter campaign promises have pretty much remained the same. The Southern border wall? “It’s being built and Mexico will pay for it!” (That’s debatable, and also Mexico is definitely not paying for it.) But as the 2020 election gets nearer amid a catastrophic pandemic, the president has remixed his stump speech and included new, strange ways to justify why he should be reelected come November.
For example, Trump has taken a special interest in household appliances, promising to make your lightbulbs and dishwashers great again. (It’s a natural evolution for the president, given his complicated relationship with science.) How would it work? We’re not really sure! Guess you need to reelect him to find out.
As a matter of public service, GEN reviewed transcripts of Trump’s 2020 rallies going back all the way to June 2019, when he officially launched his reelection campaign. Ahead, four of the most bonkers campaign promises he has made so far.
