Trump�s 40 Biggest Broken Promises

The president talks a good game�but it�s just talk.

by Robert Reich

Trump voters. Nearly four years in, here�s an updated list of Trump�s 40
biggest broken promises.

1. He said coronavirus would �go away without a vaccine.� You bought it.
But it didn�t. While other countries got the pandemic under control and
avoided large numbers of fatalities, the virus has killed more than 170,000
Americans, and that number is still climbing.

2. He said he won�t have time to play golf if elected president. But he has
made more than 250 visits to his golf clubs since he took office�a record
for any president�including more trips during the pandemic than meetings
with Dr. Fauci. The total financial cost to America? More than $136
million.

3. He said he would repeal the Affordable Care Act, and replace it with
something �beautiful.� It didn�t happen. Instead, seven million Americans
have lost their health insurance since he took office. He has asked the
Supreme Court to strike down the law in the middle of a global pandemic
with no plan to replace it.

More from Robert Reich

4. He said he�d cut your taxes, and that the super-rich like him would pay
more. He did the opposite. By 2027, the richest 1 percent will have
received 83 percent of the Trump tax cut and the richest 0.1 percent, 60
percent of it. But more than half of all Americans will pay more in taxes.

5. He said corporations would use their tax cuts to invest in American
workers. They didn�t. Corporations spent more of their tax savings buying
back shares of their own stock than increasing workers� wages.

6. He said he would boost economic growth by 4 percent a year. Nope. The
economy stalled, and unemployment has soared to the highest levels since
the Great Depression. Just over half of working-age Americans are
employed�the worst ratio in 70 years.

7. He said he wouldn�t �cut Social Security like every other Republican and
I�m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid.� His latest budget includes
billions in cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

8. He promised to be �the voice� of American workers. He hasn�t. His
administration has stripped workers of their rights, repealed overtime
protections, rolled back workplace safety rules, and turned a blind eye to
employers who steal their workers� wages.

9. He promised that the average American family would see a $4,000 pay
raise because of his tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. But nothing
trickled down. Wages for most Americans have barely kept up with inflation.

10. He promised that anyone who wants a test for COVID will get one. But
countless Americans still can�t get a test.

11. He said hydroxychloroquine protects against coronavirus. No way. The
FDA revoked its emergency authorization due to the drug�s potentially
lethal side effects.

12. He promised to eliminate the federal deficit. He has increased the
federal deficit by more than 60 percent.

13. He said he would hire �only the best people.� He has fired a record
number of his own Cabinet and White House picks, and then called them
�whackos,� �dumb as a rock,� and �not mentally qualified.� Six of them have
been charged with crimes.

14. He promised to bring down the price of prescription drugs and said drug
companies are �getting away with murder.� They still are. Drug prices have
soared, and a company that got federal funds to develop a drug to treat
coronavirus is charging $3,000 a pop.

15. He promised to revive the struggling coal industry and bring back lost
coal mining jobs. The coal industry has continued to lose jobs as clean
energy becomes cheaper.

16. He promised to help American workers during the pandemic. But 80
percent of the tax benefits in the coronavirus stimulus package have gone
to millionaires and billionaires. And at least 21 million Americans have
lost extra unemployment benefits, with no new stimulus check to fall back
on.

17. He said he�d drain the swamp. Instead, he�s brought into his
administration more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls than in any
administration in history, and he�s filled departments and agencies with
former lobbyists, lawyers, and consultants who are crafting new policies
for the same industries they used to work for.

18. He promised to protect Americans with pre-existing conditions. His
Justice Department is trying to repeal the entire Affordable Care Act,
including protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

19. He said Mexico would pay for his border wall. The wall will cost
American taxpayers an estimated $11 billion.

20. He promised to bring peace to the Middle East. Instead, tensions have
increased and his so-called �peace plan� was dead on arrival.

21. He promised to lock up Hillary Clinton for using a private email
server. He didn�t. Funny enough, Trump uses his personal cellphone for
official business, and several members of his own administration, including
Jared Kushner and Ivanka, have used private email in the White House.

22. He promised to use his business experience to whip the federal
government into shape. He hasn�t. His White House is in permanent chaos. He
caused the longest government shutdown in our nation�s history when he
didn�t get funding for his wall.

23. He promised to end DACA. The Supreme Court ruled that his plan to
deport 700,000 young immigrants was unconstitutional, and DACA still
stands.

24. He promised �six weeks of paid maternity leave to any mother with a
newborn child whose employer does not provide the benefit.� He hasn�t
delivered.

25. He promised to bring an end to Kim Jong Un�s nuclear program. Kim is
expanding North Korea�s nuclear program.

26. He said he would distance himself from his businesses while in office.
He continues to make money from his properties and maintain his grip on his
real estate empire.

27. He said he�d force companies to keep jobs in America, and that there
would be consequences for companies that shipped jobs abroad. Since he took
office, companies like GE, Carrier, Ford, and Harley Davidson have
continued to outsource thousands of jobs while still receiving massive tax
breaks. And offshoring by federal contractors has increased.

28. He promised to end the opioid crisis. Americans are now more likely to
die from an opioid overdose than a car accident.

29. He said he�d release his tax returns. It�s been nearly four years. He
hasn�t released his tax returns.

30. He promised to tear up the Iran nuclear deal and renegotiate a better
deal. Negotiations have gone nowhere, and he brought us to the brink of
war.

31. He promised to enact term limits for all members of Congress. He has
not even tried to enact term limits.

32. He promised that China would pay for tariffs on imported goods. His
trade war has cost U.S. consumers $34 billion a year, eliminated 300,000
American jobs, and cost American taxpayers $22 billion in subsidies for
farmers hurt by the tariffs.

33. He promised to �push colleges to cut the skyrocketing cost of tuition.�
Instead, he�s made it easier for for-profit colleges to defraud students,
and tuition is still rising.

34. He promised to protect American steel jobs. The steel industry
continues to lose jobs.

35. He promised tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations would spur
economic growth and pay for themselves. His tax cuts will add $2 trillion
to the federal deficit.

36. After pulling out of the Paris climate accord, he said he�d negotiate a
better deal on the environment. He hasn�t attempted to negotiate any deal.

37. He promised that the many women who accused him of sexual misconduct
�will be sued after the election is over.� He hasn�t sued them, presumably
because he doesn�t want the truth to come out.

38. He promised to bring back all troops from Afghanistan. He now says:
�We�ll always have somebody there.�

39. He pledged to put America first. Instead, he�s deferred to dictators
and authoritarians at America�s expense, and ostracized our allies�who now
laugh at us behind our back.

40. He promised to be the voice of the common people. He�s made his rich
friends richer, increased the political power of big corporations and the
wealthy, and harmed working Americans. Don�t let the liar-in-chief break
any more promises. Vote him out in November.
