It is true that he has eliminated many regulations that cost his billionaire cronies money, but no legislative achievements to speak of. Here's a list of promises not kept:
- Build a "Great, big, beautiful" wall on the border with Mexico: no wall has been built
- Balance the budget "fairly quickly": backs a budget that increases the deficit
- Stop all Muslim immigration: travel ban has encountered numerous legal hurdles
- Repeal "Obamacare" on Day One: we still have the ACA
- Push for a Constitutional Amendment to enact term limits on Congress: no sign of this happening
- Appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton: someone else is being investigated
- Make no cuts to Social Security or Medicaid: Republicans are discussing doing this with no pushback from Trump
- Invest $1 Trillion in infrastructure: no sign of this happening
- Defund Planned Parenthood: Nope
- Open up libel laws: that pesky constitution
- Develop a plan to defeat ISIS in 30 days: or maybe there was already a secret plan, we kicked them out of their territory, but they still exist
- Establish a commission on radical Islam: must be a secret commission
- Guarantee 6 week paid parental leave: hahahahaha
- Allow health insurance to be sold across state lines: was already legal
- Send back Syrian refugees: they're still here
- End birthright citizenship: there's that Constitution again
- label China a currency manipulator: Xi Jinping is now Trump's BFF after some delicious chocolate cake
- Save the Indiana Carrier plant: they're still sending jobs south of the border
- Take no vacations: I guess every weekend being a three-day golf outing doesn't count
- Release tax returns "after audit is completed": yeah, right
- A massive tax cut: he may get the Republican tax bill passed, but it's not done yet and it's hardly a tax cut for more than half of Americans
