Promises we’ve rated recently
Take no salary
"If I'm elected president, I'm accepting no salary."
Declare China a currency manipulator
"Instruct the Treasury Secretary to label China a currency manipulator."
Reverse Barack Obama's Cuba policy
“The president’s one-sided deal for Cuba and with Cuba benefits only the Castro regime but all the concessions that Barack Obama has granted the Castro Regime was done through executive order, which means they can be undone and that is what I intend to do unless the Castro Regime meets our demands.”
Make no cuts to Medicare
“I’m not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican and I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid.”
Build a wall, and make Mexico pay for it
"I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall."
Cancel all funding of sanctuary cities
"We will end the sanctuary cities that have resulted in so many needless deaths. Cities that refuse to cooperate with federal authorities will not receive taxpayer dollars, and we will work with Congress to pass legislation to protect those jurisdictions that do assist federal authorities.”
Get Congress to allow health insurance across state lines
“The insurance companies are getting rich off health care and health insurance and everything having to do with health. We’re going to end that. We’re going to take out the artificial boundaries, the artificial lines. We’re going to get a plan where people compete, free enterprise.”
Terminate Barack Obama's immigration executive orders 'immediately'
"Immediately terminate President Obama’s two illegal executive amnesties (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). All immigration laws will be enforced -- we will triple the number of ICE agents. Anyone who enters the U.S. illegally is subject to deportation. That is what it means to have laws and to have a country."
Establish a commission on radical Islam
“One of my first acts as president will be to establish a commission on radical Islam which will include reformist voices in the Muslim community who will hopefully work with us."
Have mandatory minimum sentences for criminals caught trying to enter the United States illegally
"On my first day in office, I am also going to ask Congress to pass 'Kate’s Law' – named for Kate Steinle – to ensure that criminal aliens convicted of illegal re-entry receive strong mandatory minimum sentences."
Remove criminal undocumented immigrants
“A Trump administration will stop illegal immigration, deport all criminal aliens, and save American lives.”
Ask countries we protect to pay more for joint defense
"I think NATO's great. But it's got to be modernized. And countries that we're protecting have to pay what they're supposed to be paying."
Rebuild the U.S. Navy toward the goal of 350 ships
"We will build a Navy of 350 surface ships and submarines as recommended by the bipartisan National Defense Panel."
End birthright citizenship
"End birthright citizenship."
Reverse Barack Obama's Cuba policy
“The president’s one-sided deal for Cuba and with Cuba benefits only the Castro regime but all the concessions that Barack Obama has granted the Castro Regime was done through executive order, which means they can be undone and that is what I intend to do unless the Castro Regime meets our demands.”
