A comprehensive list of Trump’s broken (and kept) Day 1 promises
It’s no secret that Donald Trump made a lot of promises on the campaign trail – some of which, like saying he’ll make China pay the tariffs for their goods imported to the US, don’t seem to be remotely possible for him to keep, even now that he’s back in the Oval Office.
But many of those campaign promises are well within his capabilities to deliver on – and he has been pretty prolific in delivering them. In fact, on his first day in office, he sat on stage in Washington’s Capitol One arena signing them and tossing the pens he used into the audience.
Axios has a handy chart of many of the things he promised he would do on Day 1 on the campaign trail and how many times he promised them.
From our tally, at the time of publication, it appears that Trump kept approximately 23 of these Day 1 promises, did not keep 21 of them, and 8 exist in a nuanced or limbo zone (although one could argue that since an Executive Order can be signed but not actually enforced, they’re all in a pretty grey zone at this moment). So, we’re breaking down some of the major promises he actually kept on in the first 24 hours of his second term – and some that he didn’t (yet).
Please note that the promises marked with an asterisk are more subjective ones – for example, when Trump signed something intended, on his part, to “make life more affordable in America,” for which there is no guarantee that it will actually have the proclaimed outcome.PROMISES KEPT:
– Begin the largest deportation operation in the US
– End “electric vehicle mandate”
– Begin to end inflation and make life more affordable
– Increase drilling/fracking for oil
– Begin to end inflation and make life more affordable*
– Terminate the “open border” policies of the Biden admin
– End “Bidennomics” and start “MAGAnomics”*
– End “Green New Deal” policies
– End birthright citizenship
