Promises made and promises broken

Promises made by Trump, promises broken:

Build the Keystone pipeline — did not.

Tax cut for middle class — nope.

Replace the ACA — nope.

Defeat ISIS — Did not.

Grow the economy at 4%-plus — no way.

Cut the trade deficit — increased 25% from 2016.

Stopping H Korea's nuclear weapons — nope.

Lower drug prices — did not.

Withdrawing from NAFTA — repackaged and renamed.

Reduce budget deficit — nope.

Stop overseas job loss — never happened.

Trillion dollar infrastructure plan — nope.

Raise taxes on the richdid not happen.

Create thousands of jobs in coal and steel — no way.

Create a Middle East peace plan — That was Kushner's job, remember? Did not happen.

Release his tax records — still waiting.

Get our troops out of the Middle East — did not happen.

Claimed there are "thousands" of immigration judges to clear the backlog of immigration cases — there are not.

Claimed a health care bill would be announced two months ago — still has not happened.

None of these things ever happened.
