    Trump has now been in office for six months. Let’s measure the promises he made in his inauguration speech against the actual results. Just the facts 🧵⬇️

  2. #2

    1️⃣Trump said he would defeat "record inflation and rapidly bring down costs and prices." Here are some of the things that cost more now than they did when Trump was sworn in. – Food – Housing – Electricity – Medical care – Car insurance

  3. #3

    2️⃣He said "instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens." He tariffed other countries and our citizens are paying the price.

  4. #4

    3️⃣He said the "scales of justice will be rebalanced" and that he would "restore fair, equal, and impartial justice." He stacked the Justice Department with loyalists who are defying court orders, overseeing deportations of American citizens, and hiding the truth about Trump’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

  5. #5

    4️⃣He said "America will be a manufacturing nation once again." There are now fewer Americans working in manufacturing than on inauguration day, and manufacturing projects are being canceled across the country.

  6. #6

    5️⃣He said the U.S. "will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the planet Mars." He pushed the largest cuts to NASA in its history.

  7. #7

    Trump lied his way into office—and immediately turned his back on the country. More and more Americans are fed up with it.
