Trump's promises may not fit well with half the people but he has done all he promised. See list below.

Lets see zuck try that - I think he will succeed too at least better than the "charming" presidents of the recent past on either side

TPP cancelled

Prison reform

NAFTA renegotiated (this is something that is nit clear how well he did)

China trade war (which by bloombergs account he has an upper hand in)

North Korea peace

> he has done all he promised

Yes, he closed all those tax loopholes that he is an expert at exploiting (his words, not mine). He implemented his plan to win the war in Afghanistan. The wall along the border of Mexico is 30 feet tall and beautiful and Mexico paid for it. The opioid problem has been solved. He has released his tax returns. He has put his assets in a blind trust. He has Made America Great Again.

He may not have done everything he promised, but as someone who isn't a big fan, he has probably delivered on more promises than most presidents.

I'd be interested to see a study into that. Of course, not all promises are equal. For me, the big promise (and one of very few pluses I could see in Trump's platform) was "draining the swamp", and he's done anything but. Well, either that or making great affordable healthcare available to everyone.
