One of the curious things about the gap between record and promise is that in some cases, Trump is promising to do more than he did before (deport immigrants, build the wall), and in others, he’s promising to do less (give power to employers, limit abortion). Trump critics have been frustrated by a certain amount of amnesia among voters about how chaotic and unpleasant the Trump years were—not just by the critics’ standards, but based on popular impressions at the time. PolitiFact ruled that “mostly false” because Trump has said on the trail this year that he would not cut the program—even though, as the fact-checkers acknowledged, “during his presidency, Trump released four successive annual budgets that proposed cutting Medicare.”
