Trump’s Promises Revisited: The Early Days of His Second Term**

A closer look at promises made by Donald Trump during his campaign and his efforts to fulfill them since taking office.**


As Donald Trump embarks on his second term, he faces various challenges in delivering on his ambitious campaign promises, spanning immigration, economic policies, and foreign relations.**


Donald Trump made bold commitments during his campaign to return to the White House, vowing to tackle issues ranging from economic reform to immigration and foreign policy. Central to his messaging was the notion of "Promises made, promises kept," which he reiterated during his victory address on November 6. However, just weeks into his presidency, the execution of these promises has encountered hurdles, with some requiring Congressional cooperation while others are stymied by legalities and public opinion.

**Lowering Prices**
Trump's rhetoric focused heavily on addressing inflation, which was a significant issue among voters. He claimed, "When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one." Despite this assurance, early signs indicate a challenging economic landscape, with price increases hitting their highest monthly rise in over a year. Trump has placed the blame on the previous administration while also recognizing the limitations of presidential influence over such complex economic factors.

**Mass Deportation Efforts**
On immigration, Trump stated, "On day one, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history." With a focus on criminal defendants, he initiated several executive orders aiming to reform the immigration framework. While the public appears to support stringent measures, actual deportation numbers have fallen short of his ambitious claims, leading to criticism regarding the effectiveness of his administration's actions in this domain.

**Pardons Related to January 6**
Trump promptly addressed the January 6 riots by asserting the pardoning of individuals linked to the Capitol events, ensuring that more than 1,500 people could see their sentences lifted shortly after his inauguration. This controversial decision has drawn both support and backlash among various factions of the American public.

**Ending the Ukraine War**
During his campaign, Trump vowed to resolve the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, declaring, "I'll have that done in 24 hours." While initial negotiations were initiated with Russia, Ukraine has dismissed any deal made without its involvement, raising alarm among European leaders as tensions simmer regarding American oversight in the region and the potential lifting of sanctions on Russia.

**Ending Birthright Citizenship**
An early executive action sought to terminate automatic citizenship for those born on U.S. soil, a deep-rooted constitutional principle. Critics argue that such an effort may reach the Supreme Court, particularly as historical legal precedents clash with Trump's new proposals.

**Tariffs on Neighbors**
To protect American industries, Trump promised tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a significant 25% charge planned to commence shortly. Despite a monthly delay to allow both countries to enhance border control, the move has sparked concerns about trade relations and economic fallout, with potential retaliatory tariffs looming from both Canada and Mexico.

As Trump navigates the complexities of his presidency, the transition from promises to actionable policies remains closely observed by both supporters and detractors alike, shaping the early narrative of his administration's direction and effectiveness.
