Don Surber takes a look at the top 25 campaign promises that Donald Trump made before his election - he made a list:
The top 25 promises President Trump has already kept
In business, a man is only as good as his word.
President Trump is a businessman.
You could not tell that by reading PolitiFact. That is why you come here.
PolitiFact listed as "in the works" his promise to forgo his salary as president. This week he donated his entire first quarter paycheck to the National Park Service. I suppose a partisan group of Fake Newsers could string this out for eight years and say "in the works," but that does not change the facts.
In the works? No, that is a...
PROMISE KEPT.
President Trump is fulfilling his promises.
Let us count the ways. After that first one on not taking a salary, let's move on to Number 2:
“First, I'm going to reinstitute a five-year ban on all executive branch officials lobbying the government for five years after they leave government. I'm going to ask Congress to pass this ban into law so that it cannot be lifted by executive order, right. Second, I'm going to ask Congress to institute its own five-year ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and their staffs.”
He signed the executive order on January 28.
PROMISE KEPT.
3. Then there's this one:
"We're going to cancel every needless job-killing regulation and put a moratorium on new regulations until our economy gets back on its feet."
He froze new regulations on January 20.
Ten days later, he ordered the removal of two regulations for every new regulation.
PROMISE KEPT.
4. Here's another one:
"We will end the sanctuary cities that have resulted in so many needless deaths. Cities that refuse to cooperate with federal authorities will not receive taxpayer dollars, and we will work with Congress to pass legislation to protect those jurisdictions that do assist federal authorities.”
Attorney General Jeff Sessions just sent out the letters.
PROMISE KEPT.
5. Next:
“I will appoint justices, who like Justice Scalia, will protect our liberty with the highest regard for the Constitution.”
He nominated Neil Gorsuch.
PROMISE KEPT.
Quite the list and Don has 20 more complete with links to what he said and what he did.
