TRUMPCLAIM TRACKERThe Promise File · 84 commitments · 3 proposals & targets
A selected catalogue of campaign and second-term commitments. Proposals and associated targets are labeled separately. This is not every promise or every repetition.
Statuses below describe these 87 records, not the proportion of all promises fulfilled. Publisher assessments retain their original dates. Supplemental research includes campaign documents, government records, Reuters, AP and ABC News.
PolitiFact's assessment dated 2026-10-26 is Promise Broken. This status is automatically indexed. Open the publisher's updated record for its reasoning and supporting evidence.
The $2 trillion figure was Musk's campaign-era savings target. AP later reported claimed DOGE savings far below that amount and unresolved verification questions. This record is retained as an associated target, rather than assigning Trump an independently verified, unconditional $2 trillion promise or a final audit finding.
The campaign proposed a free online institution funded from penalties and taxes on large university endowments. The statement is documented, but the research assembled here does not establish a current operating institution or a sufficiently complete implementation history to assign a delivery verdict.
Agenda47 committed to advocating a constitutional amendment. A resolution was introduced in the 119th Congress, but that alone does not establish the extent of Trump's advocacy. This record does not substitute a stricter promise to achieve ratification for his promise to push for it.
Trump attached the payment to a Republican congressional victory. Reuters reported that the roughly $1.2 trillion cost exceeded available tariff receipts and required congressional action. The election condition had not yet occurred at this record's October review.
ABC News reported that the promised payments had not materialized ten months after the announcement. The later $5,000 conditional proposal is recorded separately because its amount, eligibility and election condition differ. Stalled is this tracker's assessment, not an ABC rating.
Enforcement expanded, but the available removal data did not establish the promised scale. PolitiFact reported substantial gaps in public deportation data.
The reserve remained depleted. Releases associated with the Iran war moved its level further from the promised refill.
The Senate rejected the proposed national photo-ID requirement. Existing state identification rules remained in place.
Executive and congressional actions dismantled much of the previous administration's electric-vehicle framework; the regulatory reversal was still being completed.
The Supreme Court blocked the citizenship restriction. PolitiFact changed its assessment to Promise Broken after that decision.
Federal action and litigation continued. The Supreme Court permitted state restrictions without creating a mandatory nationwide exclusion.
The Supreme Court allowed states to count qualifying ballots arriving after Election Day. Certification and verification also require time beyond election night.
Staffing and responsibilities were reduced, but the department continued to exist. Administrative changes had not accomplished statutory abolition.
A Supreme Court decision allowed the administration to resume its attempt to terminate Haiti's designation after a lower-court block.
New funding, construction contracts and environmental waivers advanced the project. Those actions did not establish completion of the promised wall.
A site and planning decisions advanced the proposed garden. PolitiFact continued monitoring construction rather than treating the announcement as a finished project.
Federal leasing restrictions and stop-work efforts encountered court defeats. Offshore wind construction continued despite the administration's opposition.
The administration proposed a much larger military budget. Congressional approval was still necessary to deliver the proposed funding.
The administration's budget proposal increased total spending. A request to Congress is distinct from an enacted budget or measured outlays.
Orders and agency actions expanded restrictions, including requirements for contractors. Legal challenges left parts of the policy unsettled.
The administration expanded assistance and legal-guardianship efforts. Those measures did not establish that veteran homelessness had ended.
The administration restored restrictions on entry and expanded the countries affected. PolitiFact rated that specific commitment fulfilled.
The reviewed federal grant priorities did not provide the promised preference for districts ending tenure.
An order offered legal support, but the promised expansion of immunity had not been enacted. Broader protections require legislative or judicial action.
Federal policies and litigation sought broader parental notification. Proposed national legislation had not progressed to enactment.
A Supreme Court ruling invalidated the emergency-law basis for the broad tariffs. The administration's tariff policy remained in flux.
The Supreme Court restricted the emergency authority used for tariffs, disrupting the administration's approach to the promised Chinese import duties.
The Supreme Court's tariff decision undermined the emergency authority supporting the policy. PolitiFact classified the commitment as stalled.
The 2025 law expanded eligible 529 expenses and withdrawal limits. This concerns use of families' savings, not a $10,000 government payment.
