Trump does NOT keep his campaign promises. His claim that he does is another of his lies

During his 2016 campaign Trump promised he would self fund his campaign - a total lie.

During his 2016 campaign Trump promised he would release his tax returns when they were done being audited - a total lie.

During his 2016 campaign Trump promised he would work tirelessly for the American people - a total lie:
"If I win I may never see my property — I may never see these places again. But because I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go golfing, believe me. Believe me. Believe me, folks."



During his 2016 campaign Trump promised he would only hire the very best people - an easily demonstrable total lie.

During his 2016 campaign Trump promised he would make Washington work by bringing together leaders from both sides of the aisle through his advanced deal making skills - an easily demonstrable total lie.

During his campaign Trump promised he would protect Medicaid and Medicare from cuts - a total lie

During his campaign Trump promised that "Mexico will pay for the Wall!" - a total lie.

DO NOT ALLOW TRUMP TO CLAIM THAT HE KEEPS HIS CAMPAIGN PLEDGES

Then again that all fits into one category, doesn't it? I think some of the segments from that YouTube medley are perfect for campaign ads. At this point, with 3000 lies and counting, it can seem trivial to focus on lies Trump told during his campaign, but he already is taking credit for being unlike other politicians in that he follows through on campaign promises; like pushing for the Mexico wall, and pulling out of the Pacific Trade agreement, the Iran nuclear deal, and the Paris Climate Change accord. He won't want the list in the OP thrown in his face.
