President @realDonaldTrump told @GStephanopoulos he’ll win re-election based on safety, security and a great economy. Here are some of his campaign promises that have to do with those issues that might come up during #TrumpRallyOrlando:
❗️Renegotiating the Iran deal: In 2016, candidate @realDonaldTrump said he would create a “totally different deal” from the Obama-era nuclear pact. We rate that promise Stalled: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump said the deal handed the regime "many billions of dollars, some of it in actual cash. A great embarrassment to me as a citizen and to all citizens of the United States." He also said Iran got $150 billion and $1.8 billion in cash. That's Half True: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
The Trump administration reimposed a second round of sanctions against Tehran in November, which Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said his country would "proudly break." A previous set of sanctions went into effect in August.
Trump has not renegotiated a deal with Iran after withdrawing the United States from the Iran deal. Iran announced yesterday that it would surpass the stockpile limit for low-grade uranium in the next 10 days if US sanctions aren't lifted.
❗️Build a wall, and make Mexico pay for it: Trump remains committed to building a border wall with Mexico. Mexico doesn't seem poised to pay for it. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Earlier this year, Trump said, "We have just built this powerful Wall in New Mexico. Completed on January 30, 2019 — 47 days ahead of schedule!"
This section of the border isn’t getting a barrier for the first time; what was built replaced existing structures. Government documents suggest the project finished either on time or earlier than anticipated. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
❗️Grow the economy by 4 percent a year: Trump's promise to grow the economy by 4 percent a year did not come through in 2017, although the economy did see a 4.1 percent boost in the second quarter of 2018. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Other measures of economic health are unemployment, jobs, manufacturing and the housing market. We looked at Trump’s talking points about the economy: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
