Trump promises and proposals tracking thread.

When this type of tracknig was suggested yesterday, I thought we need to only have claims from legitimate political opponents (like harris campaign, Biden, etc).

I don't think stuff from, say, The View (separating marriages when an ethnic minority in relationship) should make the list.

This is just me talking aloud. I will put on the list whatever the board says should be there.
I agree FWIW
 
Did the Orangeman ever promise to drain the swamp or was that uttered by his supporters? Either way, put that in the never going to happen category. @evillawyer Will you please come back? I mean what in the wide world of hades is going on? Your erroneous tweets keep me hangin on!
This is why I am asking for verification the item is attributed to djt or his surrogates. too much swirling from other that are not part of his "agenda". It also illustrates how we cannot realistically track vast, ill-defined promises.

If you dont need SS for retirement

You'd almost certainly would be better off taking SS at 62/65 and investing than waiting....
With no tax it becomes essentially a ROTH with a crappy investment. Yeah. Take it out and earn some real money on it. I mean if done even half way, it could be a 50% swing in return. Now if they made it so that somehow you could roll it INTO a ROTH, then BOOM!

That was a 2020 promise.

UNITE OUR COUNTRY BY BRINGING IT TO NEW AND RECORD LEVELS OF SUCCESS
1. Vague. Also border crossings are currently lower than they were in January of 2021 by about a third.
3. Ending inflation as in a 0% inflation rate?
4. We are already the world’s largest producer and net exporter of oil and gas. What does “by far” mean?
12. Our military is already the strongest in the world and it isn’t remotely close.

I would also add the 60% tariff on goods from China promise.

Freebie advice to almost everyone. Get everything you can into a ROTH....

Thank you. A few follow ups.
Border crossing not on working list, but 'seal the border' is. trackable? fair?
ending inflation is not on working list because for same reason you shared.
largest producer not on working list for same
military not on list for same.
Tariff on OP list. Not defined yet. Can you find the verification on that one?
 
Looks like No tax on tips is already an act in Congress. proposed by Ted Cruz


tips deducted from AGI

sitting in committee for Finance.
 
Regarding his no tax on overtime. I cannot find anything which would be a promise, pledge, or proposal. I have read where others have described it like that.

But it looks like that was an idea "floated". Nothing promised.

Thoughts?
 
Ending the War Interview with Hannity

I will give him a pass on this as he stated up front that As a Sitting President he would end it in 24 hours, I would give him 6 months to a year.

In the Same interview he stated if elected before he got in office he would have it settled.

He may be able to do so if the forks over territory to Russia with no reparation and tells Ukraine no support and stand down.

“Seal the border” is highly ambiguous. Does that mean “build the wall?” Does it mean no illegal crossings? It ain’t an envelope, so what does seal mean?

On the tariffs, I’ve seen 60% all over the place, but no direct quotes. However, in an interview with Fox News earlier this year: ‘Asked about a report that he is considering imposing 60 percent tariffs on Chinese goods if elected, Trump said, "No, I would say maybe it's going to be more than that."’ - Reuters

Thank you. Volfanhill verified as well.

Would you mind looking at some of the others on the list in OP and search for verification?

I've run into similar issues with verification.

We have some parameters sketched out on what constitutes a promise, proposal, or pledge. I cannot verify ' tax on OT' to this standard. Right now, how do feel about keeping "tariffs" but deleting the "60%"?
 
#6

That promise is not defined..."large tax cut on workers", does not specify overtime. I'm not sure that is enough to verify the no tax on OT idea. Also, after looking into it, I am not even sure no tax on ot can be considered a promise, pledge, or proposal.

no tax on tips is defined. Verified in OP
