   Trump’s 40 Biggest Broken Promises   
      
   1. Dumpster said coronavirus would “go away without a vaccine.”    
   But it didn’t. While other countries got the pandemic under control    
   and avoided large numbers of fatalities, the virus has killed more    
   than 170,000 Americans, and that number is still climbing.   
      
   2. Dumpster said he won’t have time to play golf if elected president.    
   But he has made more than 250 visits to his golf clubs since he took    
   office—a record for any president—including more trips during the    
   pandemic than meetings with Dr. Fauci. The total financial cost to America?    
   More than $136 million.   
      
   3. Dumpster said he would repeal the Affordable Care Act, and    
   replace it with something “beautiful.” It didn’t happen. Instead, seven    
   million Americans have lost their health insurance since he took    
   office. Dumpster has asked the Supreme Court to strike down the law in the   
   middle of a global pandemic with no plan to replace it.   
      
   4. Dumpster said he’d cut your taxes, and that the super-rich like him    
   would pay more. Dumpster did the opposite. By 2027, the richest 1    
   percent will have received 83 percent of the Trump tax cut and the    
   richest 0.1 percent, 60 percent of it. But more than half of all    
   Americans will pay more in taxes.   
      
   5. Dumpster said corporations would use their tax cuts to invest in    
   American workers. They didn’t. Corporations spent more of their tax    
   savings buying back shares of their own stock than increasing    
   workers’ wages.   
      
   6. Dumpster said he would boost economic growth by 4 percent a    
   year. Nope. The economy stalled, and unemployment has soared to    
   the highest levels since the Great Depression. Just over half of    
   working-age Americans are employed—the worst ratio in 70 years.   
      
   7. Dumpster said he wouldn’t “cut Social Security like every other    
   Republican and I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid.” His    
   latest budget includes billions in cuts to Social Security, Medicare,    
   and Medicaid.   
      
   8. Dumpster promised to be “the voice” of American workers.    
   Dumpster hasn’t. His administration has stripped workers of their    
   rights, repealed overtime protections, rolled back workplace safety    
   rules, and turned a blind eye to employers who steal their workers’ wages.   
      
   9. Dumpster promised that the average American family would see a    
   $4,000 pay raise because of his tax cuts for the wealthy and    
   corporations. But nothing trickled down. Wages for most Americans    
   have barely kept up with inflation.    
      
   10. Dumpster promised that anyone who wants a test for COVID will    
   get one. But countless Americans still can’t get a test.   
      
   11. Dumpster said hydroxychloroquine protects against coronavirus.    
   No way. The FDA revoked its emergency authorization due to the    
   drug’s potentially lethal side effects.   
      
   12. Dumpster promised to eliminate the federal deficit. Dumpster has    
   increased the federal deficit by more than 60 percent.   
      
   13. Dumpster said he would hire “only the best people.” He has fired    
   a record number of his own Cabinet and White House picks, and then    
   called them “whackos,” “dumb as a rock,” and “not mentally    
   qualified.” Six of them have been charged with crimes.   
      
   14. Dumpster promised to bring down the price of prescription drugs    
   and said drug companies are “getting away with murder.” They still    
   are. Drug prices have soared, and a company that got federal funds to    
   develop a drug to treat coronavirus is charging $3,000 a pop.   
      
   15. Dumpster promised to revive the struggling coal industry and    
   bring back lost coal mining jobs. The coal industry has continued to    
   lose jobs as clean energy becomes cheaper.   
      
   16. Dumpster promised to help American workers during the    
   pandemic. But 80 percent of the tax benefits in the coronavirus    
   stimulus package have gone to millionaires and billionaires. And at    
   least 21 million Americans have lost extra unemployment benefits,    
   with no new stimulus check to fall back on.   
      
   17. Dumpster said he’d drain the swamp. Instead, he’s brought into    
   his administration more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls    
   than in any administration in history, and he’s filled departments and    
   agencies with former lobbyists, lawyers, and consultants who are    
   crafting new policies for the same industries they used to work for.   
      
   18. Dumpster promised to protect Americans with pre-existing    
   conditions. His Justice Department is trying to repeal the entire    
   Affordable Care Act, including protections for people with pre-   
   existing conditions.   
      
   19. Dumpster said Mexico would pay for his border wall. The wall    
   will cost American taxpayers an estimated $11 billion.   
      
   20. Dumpster promised to bring peace to the Middle East. Instead,    
   tensions have increased and his so-called “peace plan” was dead on arrival.   
      
   21. Dumpster promised to lock up Hillary Clinton for using a private    
   email server. Dumpster didn’t. Funny enough, Trump uses his    
   personal cellphone for official business, and several members of his    
   own administration, including Jared Kushner and Ivanka, have used    
   private email in the White House.   
      
   22. Dumpster promised to use his business experience to whip the    
   federal government into shape. Dumpster hasn’t. His White House is    
   in permanent chaos. Dumpster caused the longest government    
   shutdown in our nation’s history when he didn’t get funding for his wall.   
      
   23. Dumpster promised to end DACA. The Supreme Court ruled that    
   his plan to deport 700,000 young immigrants was unconstitutional,    
   and DACA still stands.   
      
   24. Dumpster promised “six weeks of paid maternity leave to any    
   mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the    
   benefit.” He hasn’t delivered.   
      
   25. Dumpster promised to bring an end to Kim Jong Un’s nuclear    
   program. Kim is expanding North Korea’s nuclear program.   
      
   26. Dumpster said he would distance himself from his businesses    
   while in office. Dumpster continues to make money from his
