Four years after his 2016 campaign, Donald Trump's supporters cite 'promises made, promises kept' as a reason for backing him. However, his record reveals a mixed bag of achievements and failures.
On tax cuts, the Republican tax plan passed in 2017, but corporate tax was reduced to 21% rather than the promised 15%. Individual tax cuts are set to expire and largely benefit the wealthy.
Trump fulfilled his pledge to exit the Paris climate agreement, with the official departure set for 4 November 2020. He also appointed two conservative Supreme Court justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, with a third, Amy Coney Barrett, awaiting confirmation.
Efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare have stalled, though parts have been dismantled. The border wall remains partially built, with Mexico refusing to pay, and funding diverted from other sources.
Overall, Trump's presidency has seen significant promises kept in judicial appointments and deregulation, but key pledges on healthcare and the wall remain unfulfilled.
