He campaigned on it. He's been saying it while he's in office. Still has not delivered on it. Just like he has not delivered on all the other promises. No wall, no infrastructure, no better healthcare, etc, etc,
Yet his dumbass followers continue to worship at his feet. Whatever. They know why they continue to support him. Its simple really. HATE. You have the best hate you have ever had. So why stop now eh?
