Trump Surpasses Promise-Keeping Expectations

President Donald J. Trump campaigned on a list of "20 core promises to Make America Great Again" - and in just six months, he has unquestionably delivered. From lowering costs to securing the border to enhancing public safety, President Trump has done more to make good on his promises than any president in modern American history, and he's just getting started.

The list goes far beyond these promises. President Trump has successfully forced hospitals nationwide to abandon their so-called "gender-affirming care" and chemical castration programs for kids, defunded biased PBS and NPR, ended woke DEI programming across higher education and corporate America, weeded out nonsense "climate" initiatives, made English our official language, and so much more.
