Trump made some pretty wild promises during his campaign. Does anyone think he can keep them? Here we will list the promises and what he actually does to keep them, or not, in the “Second Reich”.
He said:
1) I will end the war between Ukraine and Russia in 24 hours. (Broken)
Trump: “I would fix this war in Ukraine in 24 hours, but you can only do it from the presidential seat… If I win, before I get into the office, I will have that war settled.” Trump promised to end the war between Russia and Ukraine within 24 hours from the night he wins by making a deal with Zelenskyy and Putin. He also claimed the war in Israel would stop and still claims that there were ‘no wars’ when he was president. It’s been weeks since the election. The war in Ukraine is still not settled and the carnage in the middle east continues. And there were hundreds of conflicts around the globe when he was president.
2) I will impose tariffs that will be paid by foreign countries. (Broken)
Tariffs are paid by the importer and then the cost is passed on to the consumer. Trump’s tariffs cost the taxpayers $32B which was used to bail out the farmers who suffered because of them.
3) I will lower your taxes. (Broken)
See item 2) Tariffs always raise the cost of goods, which are passed on to the consumer, as a tax.
4) I will stop funding Ukraine. (Broken)
Sebastion Gorka, Trump’s pick for Senior Director of Counter-Terrorism, has pledged to give even more aid to Ukraine to beat Putin. “He [Trump] will say to that murderous former KGB colonel, that thug, who runs the Russian Federation: you will negotiate now or the aid that we [the US] have given to Ukraine thus far will look like peanuts.”
5) I will lower gas prices with “Drill Baby Drill”.I will lower energy prices by 50%. (Broken)
Drilling will not lower gas prices. OPEC controls gas prices, not the president. In fact, it was Trump who raised the prices after COVID after making a deal with his oil buddies in Russian and Saudi Arabia to limit production and thus raise the prices.
6) I have nothing to do with Project 2025. (Broken)
Trump is already looking to implement many of the things outlined in Project 2025 and has appointed some of the very people who created it.
7) I will appoint a libertarian to my cabinet. (Broken)
There are no libertarians in the list of nominees for Trump’s Cabinet. He has however, appointed many Democrats including a George Soros Democrat to run the Treasury.
8) I will bring the price of groceries down. (Broken).
Trump in October: “It’ll also bring your grocery bill way down.” Trump now to TIME: “It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard.” He also told Kristen Welker that he could not guarantee prices would not go up.
9) I will secure the border with a wall.
10) I will conduct a mass deportation on day one. (Broken)
He’s already proposed support for DACA and for giving green cards to foreign students.
11) I will bring Ross Ulbricht home.
12) I will pardon the J6 rioters. (we don’t want him to)
13) I will release all Epstein files. (Broken) He has already wavered on this during the interview with Kristen Welker because he claims that a lot of information in those files might hurt people because they may not be true.
14) I will reduce the cost of car insurance.
15) I will reduce the cost of rent.
16) I will reduce the cost of homes.
17) I will keep the interest rate less than 3%.
18) I will remove the tax on tips, overtime and social security.
19) I will give tax cuts to everyone making less than $200K/year.
18) IVF will be free to those seeking to use this to have children.
