Back on January 22, 2016, Jenna Johnson of The Washington Post made a list of 76 of dt's campaign promises.
It's worth remembering now. Use this link to hear his promises in a 2-minute video or a list of all 76:
His wall that Mexico was going to be happy to pay for? Well, he's got 2-3 miles out of 2,000.
Repeal Obamacare and replace it with something better? Senator John McCain stopped him on repealing, thank God.
Infrastructure? Hasn't happened.
Defund Planned Parenthood? It's had more donations than ever, but he has led some states to reduce women's access to all PPFA health care, including contraception.
Never take a vacation while serving as president? He's had more golf days than any president ever.
Prosecute Hillary Rodham Clinton for her email server? The FBI's verdict that "no charges are appropriate in this case" still stands. But he managed to break enough laws to get himself jailed for a few years after his term ends.
Let Russia do whatever it wants with Syria? Yep. In fact, he's letting Russia do whatever it wants all around the globe, including messing with our elections.
Bring back jobs from China and other nations? Didn't happen, but he did stop the only N-95 manufacturing in the USA, so we're dependent on China.
Grow the nation's economy? Our GDP is down -5%.
Fix the mental health system and prevent mass shootings? Yeah, right.
Make sure police get more money for training? No, his support for police violence has contributed to the call to defund the police.
Deport 11 million immigrants who came here without papers? Thank God, he's only been able to deport a few.
On the other hand, he did these things without giving us a warning before we elected him:
As a result of his presidency, "America Is Too Broken to Fight the Coronavirus" writes Michelle Goldberg in today's New York Times. "No other developed country is doing so badly."

On the other hand, he did these things without giving us a warning before we elected him:
- encourage right-wing violence,
- dismantle the protocols for handling outbreak of a pandemic,
- throw racist labels around,
- tweet up to 200 times per day
- embarrass the US on a daily basis.
