It’s understandable why so many voted for Trump, and so many now regret it, even MAGA loyalists.

Trump’s nonstop lies and broken promises, unprecedented corruption, apparent growing dementia, and vicious personality are fully documented. It was on full display in his lie-filled TV speech July 16, hoping to bolster his obsession with voter suppression, and planned election interference this November. Ironically and hypocritically, he’s fine with 2016 and 2024 election results when he won, but not 2020 when all credible sources agree, he clearly, simply lost! [continued at bottom**]
Top 10 Promises Trump has broken since the 2024 Election [June 10, 2026]
***Costs of Iran War: Thousands of Lives & Billions of Dollars & In Iran, Trump Risks Another American ‘Forever War’ Summary, Methodology & DocumentationDonald Trump’s 2024 campaign and early second-term actions are dominated by unfulfilled pledges and high-profile failures, documented by watchdogs and advocacy groups re: not ending foreign wars quickly but starting new, cutting everyday costs for families, and releasing sensitive documents, while some tax and pardon pledges were kept [1] [2] [3]. Assessments differ across nonpartisan trackers, advocacy groups, and partisan critics, so determining “violated” promises depends on the metric used and which promises are treated as measurable commitments [1] [4] [3]. *For decades both major parties have consistently rewarded their big donors with subsidies, tax cuts, deregulation, and all manner of favors, putting donors’ desires over the desperate needs of American families and workers. Citizens United and other disastrous Supreme Court decisions have amplified this gross injustice.

Donald Trump’s Top 25 Lies of 2025 [CNN]It was hard to pick only 25. Donald Trump’s second term, just like his first presidency, when the Washington Post Fact Checker documented over 30,000 false statements, was an unceasing parade of lies with staggering frequency. Trump’s lying became especially repetitive in 2025, as he relied on a core set of go-to fabrications he deployed virtually no matter the setting, nor how often they had been debunked.

** NY Times Takeaways from Trump’s Elections Speech July 16
But documents Mr. Trump released and assessments from the intelligence community do not support his statements or contain significant new revelations — and some reach the opposite conclusion. One document posted on the White House website was blunt: “We assess that vote tabulation systems would be difficult to manipulate on a wide enough scale to compromise election results.”
Worse, Trump has spent the first part of his second term dismantling the election protections built up over previous years. The F.B.I.’s task force on foreign influence was shut down, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence sharply cut back a task force that warned against foreign meddling and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has been gutted. Despite all this, Trump keeps pushing Congress to pass a broad election bill to curb mail-in voting, provide documentary proof of citizenship and show photo identification to vote.
Trump Brings Full Weight of Government to Bolster False Election Claims
The president’s ability to bring a whole-of-government approach to shape how Americans view their elections — and potentially who gets to vote — has alarmed public officials and election experts across the country. Those seeking to join Mr. Trump’s second administration had to pass a key litmus test: Did they believe the 2020 election was stolen from Mr. Trump? With like-minded allies now positioned in key roles throughout the government, Mr. Trump has trained the full arsenal of the federal government on one of his most persistent obsessions: sowing doubt about the security of the country’s election systems. Major agencies such as the Justice Department, the F.B.I., the Homeland Security Department and the U.S. Postal Service have taken steps to revive his false claims about the 2020 election and try to assert federal control over state-run elections.
