I recall that many years ago so-called Psi-chick Sylvia Brown publicly accepted The Amazing Randi’s Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge (pot-kettle situation but I digress) I also recall that Randi placed a “Sylvia Countdown Clock" on his website where he tracked the number of days that had passed since the mutually agreed upon deadline of her testing. I propose that something similar be done for each of Trump’s Campaign Promises. (see https://www.axios.com/2024/12/26/trump-first-day-executive-orders). While my opinion of Axios is that it is just another “silliness” (self-censoring on behalf of Giza’s Mrs. Grundy bot’s language minding) political media outlet there is here a pretty nice exhibit of Trump’s “Day One Promises” allegedly based on his public utterances.
I propose starting with just two: Mass Deportations and The Release of the Last JFK Files. Interestingly the latter is not on Axios Listing. Oh well, maybe he didn’t say “day one” on the JFK thing but a countdown clock for it I think would prove interesting as well.
Maybe several Giza members could put together a *Challenge Fund between now and “Day One” against which others could “bet” on when those promises would be met. (*This idea is the property of ScarmoCo) Even though I claim this idea I’m quite sure that many ordinary “bookies” and the British Betting Shops had already thought of this long ago. The fulfillment of a “Day One” promise would not be allowed by simply signing a piece of paper (Executive Order = Munich Agreement you get the idea) there would need to be “evidence”. In the sprit of “finding 10 righteous people” lets say that Trump needs to prove that he has deported 1000 Illegals in the first 24 hours. How did I arrive at that number? … 20 illegals x 50 states = 1000 (we’ll even cut him some slack on the 16 territories and not require deportations form those). I000 seems quite a reasonable number for the first day given all the illegal “documentation” claimed. My initial number was to be much larger but hey, even God went from 50 to 10.
I will be “shocked, shocked I tell you” if even a single “Day One” promise is actually carried out with any evidence more than a “Day One Munich Agreement Signature”.
All of this to say (see the US line below) I think that roughly 70 % of the US are deeply self-deluded.
