This thread is to monitor the things Trump said he will do while campaigning and during his term. We will update it to show new proposals, progress, and results (or lack thereof).

To be accurate, this needs to be a community effort. If someone wanted to make this into a spreadsheet, I'm sure it would be a much better format.

For this, a proposal or promise would be anything offered in a definitive manner ( "I/ we will"..."going to"..."from day 1"...etc. NOT, "we should", "I think", "suggest"... "look into", etc) from Trump. (maybe need to include his cabinet, too?)

As the thread grows, I may miss an addition buried in discussion. Please @ me to make sure I see an update. Thanks.

Please post promises or proposals you are aware of and the tracking of progress in the future.

1. No tax on tips. (An Act already sponsored in Congress by Sen Cruz post 117)
2. No tax on overtime. (possibly not a promise, pledge, or proposal...waiting on discussion)
3. Agenda 47: EO " future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic U.S. citizenship," (Verified in post 114)

4. Tariffs 60% on goods ffrom China (waiting verification)
5. [RFK jr food and vaccine safety]
Not so sure that is on Djt though
6. Quick end to Ukraine conflict (verified in post 14 by volfanhill. Thanks)
7. Elimate (or reduce???) tax on SS (@volinbham please let me know the most accurate way to classify that promise)
8. Temporary cap on credit card interest rates at 10%
9. commute sentence of ross ulbrecht, silk road founder. (verified by pj, post 37)
10. Eliminate green energy provisions in IRA (verified by mojo in post #77)

It was suggested we track and monitor what was said he'd do by his opponents.
This section can be for that if we want.

1. Internment camps
2. US AD Military used against its own people
3. Federal Abortion Ban
4. Right(s) being stripped away
5. Illegalized interracial marriage
6. US Dictatorship installed
7. Last election
8. Agenda 2025 implementation

(waiting on verification these came from the political opponent or surrogates and not celebrities, talkiing heads, etc)

Can you verify this is something he or his surrogates have promised or proposed?

I wanna be careful to not put things others who don't speak for him have said.

Thanks.

At a CNN town hall in May 2023, Trump said: “They’re dying, Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours.” He said that would happen after he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin. And he keeps repeating the claim on the campaign trail.

Most of what he said he'll do will not happen given the extremity of the promise (eg. cut energy prices in half).

For me the question is if energy prices go down is that fulfilling the promise in spirit or failing in specifics.

If it's a promise or proposal he gave, whether by legislation, EO, or general economic improvement, I think it should be added to our tracking and credited if achieved / debited if not.

I don't think there is any chance his anchor baby, no tax on OT and tips has a chance either. but it's on the list.

Right. I don’t think we can concentrate on clear embellishments and BS.

Meaning “I’ll have that war shut down in 24 hours”. That’s essentially the same as Vols by Fiddy. He’s talking shi*. BUT if he doesn’t bring both wars to an end within a reasonable amount of time, let’s say in his first year, I am fine at that point considering it a failed promise. What he means is I’ll negotiate a peace deal quickly. NOT, I’ll literally have this done in 24 hours, you can bank on it!

Some would say he needs to stop embellishing. I can’t entirely disagree. But it’s how he talks. That’s like expecting Obama to stop lecturing America. He just can’t help himself, it’s how he talks.

Does reducing the number of government employees across the board count as reducing spending?

Good question. I ask for discussion and we will put in on the list in a way that accurately reflects what he is proposing.

Hows that sound?

I would say no. If you see a reduction in spending, and reducing the size of government is something he did to achieve it, then that's just part of the process. But if you reduce the size of government, and then take those savings and spend it elsewhere, then that's not reducing spending

As a side note - it's funny how the definition of "wealthy and rich" changes depending on if you want to support or attack something - this is from an article from NBC

Higher-income seniors would benefit most​

Experts say those who would benefit most from eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits would be the wealthy.
Households with between $63,000 and $200,000 in income would benefit most from the change, according to an August analysis from the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.
Lower income households making $32,000 or less would not get a tax cut, as most of their Social Security benefits are not currently taxed. Meanwhile, those with between $32,000 and $60,000 in annual income may see about $90 in tax cuts, according to the research.
“You’re giving a tax break to the higher-income senior population, so that might wind up mitigating its political sale ability as well,” Blahous said.

63K - 200K is now considered wealthy I guess.
