Fact check: Out of trumps 27 promises which of them did he actually accomplish?

Checked on July 16, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses reveal that no source provides a definitive list of Trump's specific 27 promises or a comprehensive accounting of which ones were accomplished. The available sources offer fragmented information about various campaign promises and achievements:

Specific promises tracked include:

  • Repealing Obamacare, building a wall, suspending immigration, and lowering business tax rates [1]
  • Closing the border, mass deportations, ending birthright citizenship, imposing tariffs, ending inflation, making government more efficient, banning transgender athletes in women's sports, eliminating the Education Department, covering IVF, pardoning Jan. 6 rioters, and ending DEI in government [2]

Documented accomplishments include:

  • Closing the border, banning transgender athletes in women's sports, pardoning Jan. 6 rioters, and ending DEI in government [2]
  • Economic growth, tax relief, deregulation, trade agreements, and investments in healthcare, education, and national security [3] [4]
  • Actions on the economy, border security, and federal government restructuring [5] [6]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question assumes the existence of a specific list of "27 promises" that none of the analyzed sources can verify or provide [7] [1] [2]. This creates a significant gap in the ability to answer the question accurately.

Key missing elements:

  • No source identifies what constitutes the specific "27 promises" referenced in the question
  • The analyses focus on different timeframes and promise categories without establishing a baseline list
  • Sources vary in their assessment criteria - some focus on first-term accomplishments [1] [2] while others highlight ongoing achievements [8] [5]

Alternative perspectives emerge:

  • Trump administration sources [3] [4] present extensive lists of accomplishments and victories
  • Independent fact-checking sources [1] [2] provide more measured assessments of promise fulfillment, noting that some promises are "still pending or have failed" [2]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement contains a fundamental factual assumption that cannot be verified: the existence of a specific set of "27 promises." No analyzed source confirms this number or provides such a comprehensive list [7] [1] [2] [3] [4] [8] [5] [6].

Potential bias indicators:

  • The question's framing suggests there should be a simple numerical answer to a complex political assessment
  • Official Trump administration sources [3] [4] [9] present overwhelmingly positive accomplishment lists without acknowledging unfulfilled promises
  • The question may reflect selective memory or partisan framing by focusing on a specific number rather than overall policy outcomes

The core issue is that the question cannot be accurately answered because the premise - that there were specifically 27 identifiable promises - is not supported by the available evidence from any of the analyzed sources.
