1)🚫Build a Wall and Make Mexico Pay for It
16mi of new barriers built.
Only 1/6th (317mi total, 301mi rebuilt or reinforced) of the border had a fence or wall built or rebuilt.

2)✅Appoint Conservative Judges
This was a big reason "sane" Republicans voted for a nutjob like Trump.
They also knew Trump just had to rubber stamp the activist "legislate from the bench" thinktank and lobbying group, The Federalist Society and Mitch would do the rest.

Nope.
They've undermined the ACA and gotten thousands more people killed or bankrupted because of those erosions. But no repeal.
As for replace? That was always a lie and has been a Republican lie for a decade.

5)⁉️Renegotiate Trade Deals
Like everything else, Trump merely wrapped a "Trump Brand" label on something already in existence, NAFTA and called it his own, USMCA.
He also cut us out of all leverage against China by exiting the T.P.P., without renegotiating a damn thing.

It's important to point out that these are just the "Top 5" promises that the @nytimes decided to highlight.
He's got an even worse record on the actual list of all his promises.
