Trump said they could do it before the midterms, so that's what people heard.

He also promised to save coal, save Carrier's jobs, cut taxes and balance the budget at the same time, and put Hillary Clinton in prison.

We're at the point right now that if he walked into my office and said he was Donald Trump, I'd ask for his driver's license.
