Trump-O-Meter

Tracking Trump’s first-term campaign promises: The Trump-O-Meter is PolitiFact's meter for tracking 102 promises President Trump made during his 2016 campaign. We are tracking Trump's second-term promises on our MAGA-Meter. (We tracked President Barack Obama’s promises and President Joe Biden's promises, too.) For each campaign promise, our reporters research the issue and then rate it based on whether the promise was achieved: Promise Kept, Promise Broken, Compromise, Stalled, In the Works or Not Yet Rated. We rate the promise not on the president's intentions or effort, but on verifiable outcomes.
