Trump's Mixed Record in Keeping His Campaign Pledges

Rob Garver

   VOA's Patsy Widakuswara contributed to this report.

   As Democrats continue a year-long tussle to see who will get to
   challenge U.S. President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, the
   president and his supporters are laying the groundwork for a campaign
   that will try to sell voters on the idea that he is a man who does what
   he says he will do.

   With the official kickoff rally for his re-election bid scheduled for
   Tuesday in Orlando, the president is using "Promises made. Promises
   Kept" as the slogan of the Trump campaign, raising the obvious
   question: Did Trump keep his promises?

   As with any politician on the national stage, the answer is
   complicated. The president made any number of boasts, promises and
   predictions during his run for the White House. Whether he kept them
   all is a very different question.
