President Donald – Campaign promises
Donald Trump really is a different kind of politician.
Where other politicians try to hide how corrupt they are, it looks like Donald doesn’t care if the people that voted for him find out.
Trump has made lots of campaign promises that he didn't keep.
1. Donald won’t “lock up” Hillary Clinton.
2. Trump won’t reveal the truth about 9/11.
3. Mexico won’t pay for a border wall.
4. Trump has failed to replace Obamacare.
5. The wages of ordinary people in the counties that voted for Trump won’t be increased.
6. Trump has not brought a big tax cut for the average American.
7. Trump has failed to balance the Federal Budget.
8. Donald repealed his statements that NATO is “obsolete".
9. At one time Donald promised to take all US troops out of the opium producing Afghanistan US, but instead the US will send 3,000 additional soldiers to Afghanistan.
10. He hasn’t bombed ISIS into obliteration, but instead threw the biggest available bomb on Afghanistan, and bombed the starving Yemen.
11. Trump's government didn’t declare China to be a currency manipulator.
12. Donald Trump won’t do a “real” audit of the Federal Reserve.
13. Donald didn’t reverse the deal President Barack Obama made with Cuba.
14. Trump didn’t make any progress in getting rid of the estimated 11.3 million illegal immigrants, but in 2017, deportations lower than in the previous year
15. Trump said he would approve waterboarding, because "torture works". CIA director Mike Pompeo said that he would "absolutely not" reinstate such methods (which doesn’t mean anything really…).
16. Donald hasn’t invested on the roads, rail and airports yet.
Donald has also kept some promises (at least partially).
1. Donald promised to bring corporation tax down from 35% to 15%, and he brought it down to 21%.
2. Donald withdrew from the Paris climate deal.
3. Donald withdrew the US from the TPP, but didn’t renegotiate the North American Free Trade Association (NAFTA).
4. Donald has formally recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital, which stirred up some controversy, and approved moving the US embassy to Jerusalem.
5. Trump kept his promise to approve the Keystone XL pipeline.
6. Trump didn't bring a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States". His current ban only affects Muslims from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. This has nothing to do with Donald’s business ties to Muslim countries like: Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Indonesia.
