- ganstyles 6y agoHe delivered on very few, if any, objectively. Pulling out of the TPP is the only one that comes to mind.
- Black101 6y agoI don't think that he promised to stay in the TPP: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-signs-executive-order-withdrawing-us-from-tpp-trade-deal https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-signs-executive-order... At this point, I don't even know why presidents promise anything... we only have a choice between 2 of them...
- jfengel 6y agoHonestly, it has more to do with revealing their governing style than about their ability to give you those promises. It tells you who they are and what they want. And the way they talk about it reveals something of how they think and how they'll be able to deal with other leaders (in and out of the country). We know they'll be able to give you at most one or two, but it's not really their job anyway. Most of those promises are the jobs of legislators, not executives. But people imagine that they're learning how that person will execute, a thing that's a little hard to convey otherwise.
