President Trump, now in the third year of his term, is struggling to maintain the illusion of accomplishment as some of his biggest promises remain unfulfilled.

President Trump speaks to supporters March 2 at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, near Washington.

In another blow to Trump’s trade promises, on Wednesday the Commerce Department reported that in 2018 the U.S. trade deficit grew to $621 billion, a 10-year high, and the gap with China set a record — defying the president’s vows to reverse the trend. “He has big accomplishments: tax cuts, conservative judges, regulatory reforms, a strong economy. But on the big things he’s most focused on — the wall, talks with North Korea — he has not been able to get the results that he's promised over and over again.”

Less than 24 hours after his walkout at the Vietnam summit, he complained that he’s been given no credit for initiating talks — talks, begun at the leaders’ first meeting last year in Singapore, which have prompted North Korea to pause its nuclear tests but also have elevated Kim on the world stage without any concrete steps toward dismantling his nation’s nuclear program.

Yet even if the men reach a deal that allows Trump to lift the tariffs so unpopular with his rural supporters, it is widely consideredany enforceable end to China’s practice of requiring American companies to transfer technology and intellectual property to Chinese partners as a condition of doing business in the country.“You know I'm building the wall,” he said to supporters at CPAC, who immediately broke into familiar chants of “Build the wall!” He went on: “We're finishing the wall.

EliStokols Taxes lowered, tentative steps w N Korea, lowest unemployment of record ....you want more?

EliStokols Trump's tariffs have damaged citizens & are a drag on the economy. There are numerous historical examples of tariffs tried & failed. Trump should have known better. Trump has below average business skills. NoVisionNoPlan

EliStokols Where's my $4k pay raise that Trump promised would result from the tax cuts? Where's my better & cheaper health insurance with preexisting conditions covered that Trump promised? Where are the pesos Trump promised for the wall?

EliStokols You need to do research or keep up the yellow journalism. Please, research the economy, the justice system for blacks, low unemployment, trade, etc. Quit looking for his faults and trying being open-minded to his successes. Please.

EliStokols It's all smoke and mirrors in Trumplandia.

EliStokols The wall is being built right now. Sorry, FakeNews 😎 WeThePeopleStandWithPresidentTrump 👏🇺🇸🙌

Trump leaves North Korea summit with no deal.morningmika: 'Right now, President Trump is making the long trip home after his summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un came to an abrupt end with no deal reached between the two leaders.' morningmika This is like that game show where the contestant says “NO DEAL” then opens his case to find $1.00. morningmika Truth of the matter is, Trump was so twisted over the Cohen hearing, he couldn’t focus. He is stewing in his anger right now so it’s impossible to put the needs of America above his own selfish need. All that way and no concessions from NK. Sad 😞 morningmika

Trump says North Korea can be a 'great' economic power, but experts say it's uninvestableWhile U.S. President Donald Trump has declared repeatedly that North Korea can become 'one of the great economic powers' in the world, one risk consultancy says the rogue state ranks as the least investable country in the world. I have to find this money within ten days, devotees of God not to be bad, and give me a cent to help me. Share this in possible 'Experts'... its all so hard so lets just keep NK in poverty ! Come on... if they denuclearise then all thr stakeholders can work with NK to prosperity and economic growth. Why are so many against NK progressing ! Experts? The expert is YOUR President!!! If these experts were actual experts, we wouldn't be in this situation..
