- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option.

i never thought he'd do the thing he said he'd do all throughout the campaign while vice president harris warned you about it.
To be fair he made a LOT of campaign promises in 2016 that he (thankfully) did not fulfill.
He was going to repeal the ACA and never did. The Wall he promised between the US and Mexico may have cost several billions of dollars but only added a few sections of fence. A lot of what DOGE is doing now was what 47 promised to do in his first term ,"draining the swamp".
Of course, there was still enough terrible shit in the first term that voting for him again was inexcusable, so I'm not trying to excuse thosw who did. Just trying to keep in mind how crazy and illegal most of what he is doing now is. I'm not sure why he was so relatively reserved in his first term.
He tried, though. He would've if he could.
He didn't know how the system worked well enough to break it. Also, a lot more people were trying to stop him.
