2020 US election - It Came from Washington DC

On the off-chance you haven't voted yet: The incumbent's record on keeping his campaign promises

tl;dr: 44% kept, 7% compromised on, 49% broken - fewer than Obama managed to keep (48% kept, 28% compromised n, 24% broken), but to be fair Obama had 8 years.

Highlights:

• Remake the judiciary: Definitely kept - 3 out of 9 justices replaced.
  
• "Build the wall": Broken. 7 km of wall isn't even enough for a proof-of-concept
  
• "and make Mexico pay for it": Broken.
  
• Tax cuts: Kept for the 1%, barely kept for everybody else
  
• Eliminate the deficit: Broken. He cut taxes instead.
  
• Spend more on the military: Broken. Money was diverted away from the military to pay for that 7 km of wall and repairs to existing border constructions.
  
• Put America first: Debatable. There's definitely a new foreign policy, but pulling out of so many international accords and pulling troops out of peacekeeping missions means other countries are now more influential than the USA. America isn't even second now, let alone first.
  
• Repeal "Obamacare": Broken.
  
• "Drain the swamp": Broken.
  

The article also mentions his track record with COVID-19, but that's an offside, IMHO. He didn't make any campaign promises about COVID-19.
