WASHINGTON — It was an Oprah-worthy moment: President Donald Trump stood before a Louisiana crowd at an official taxpayer-funded event and tossed out an enticing promise."If we win this election, which is just 16 months away, we're giving you a brand new I-10 bridge."
"I think there's no limit to what Donald Trump will do to get re-elected," said historian Douglas Brinkley."When painted into a corner in an election season," he said Trump has shown a willingness to take"extraordinary leaps to frighten people into voting for him" or make grand infrastructure promises that may never come to pass.President George W.
Then Trump mobilized the U.S. military, deploying thousands of troops to the southern border. While the White House said Trump was responding to a legitimate humanitarian and national security crisis and doing his duty to protect the nation, many saw the move as a political stunt. In the weeks ahead of the election, Trump also threatened to end the constitutional right to birthright citizenship and promised a new, 10% tax cut for the middle class that has yet to materialize six months later.
Since then, Trump has been steadily raising money and holding political rallies, along with staging official government events that often have the feel of campaign functions. "He's already put Florida pork projects into play to make sure he holds that state," said Brinkley, adding that, while all politicians make such promises,"no president will use fearmongering and hyperbole to the degree that Trump will to drive a wedge issue home."
Beyond typical promises of pork and pandering, there is also concern that Trump might be willing to cross other lines.
You mean like Hillary did in the 2012 election? Let four men die in Benghazi to stop bad press for the upcoming election. Fake dossier creating the Russian hoax. You mean things like that?
You're too young to write such a trope, Matt...and expect anyone older than you to pretend not to remember past Presidents...in fact, some of the most recent as those much earlier in time. Try another rock in your sling.
YOU think? Was certain you were talking about Democratic candidates in their 'Lemmings rush' to 2020.

His only limit is releasing his taxes, which he still outright refuses to do despite the fact that's it's the LAW that you must release your taxes before going for presidency.
