Kellyanne Conway’s husband George Conway once again stuck it to President Donald Trump over the weekend by reminding everyone of the campaign promises he has broken since taking office.
Inevitably, presidents usually do end up breaking a promise or two made during the campaign for a variety of reasons. But Trump has been far worse at breaking promises, something Tufts University Professor Daniel Drezner pointed out by noting that Trump promised to rename Mount Denali as Mount McKinley after former President Barack Obama restored the native Denali name with the support of a majority of Alaskans and indigenous peoples.
A happy four-year anniversary to this tweet. Just FYI this is a campaign promise that he never fulfilled. https://t.co/tbZ6UEvlRS https://t.co/3vBUrhQ3kx

In response, George Conway cheekily noted another Trump promise that has not come to pass:
ok but the wall is all done and mexico paid for it so there’s that https://t.co/6QNMKrcZO0

It’s true. Trump claimed Mexico would pay for his wall and that it’s being built but he declared a national emergency to steal money from the Pentagon to build it and still hasn’t built a single mile of new wall, merely continuing the replacement of old barriers that began under Bush and Obama.
Not content with just naming two broken promises, other Twitter users weighed in:
And we finally own Greenland thanks to my President!

@POTUS @realDonaldTrump promised he would build a #wall paid by #Mexico, yet wall construction hasn’t even started—just repairs on 60 miles of wall built by @BarackObama. pic.twitter.com/Nyu3AmGOvv

Plus trade wars are so easy to win and we’re all enjoying these super low prescription drug prices!

Trump also once promised to protect Medicare and Social Security, but he is planning to make cutting both popular programs a centerpiece of his second term should he be re-elected.
So, not only is Trump the biggest liar who has ever been president, he’s broken the most promises, too. It’s little wonder why he is underwater in the polls right now.
