Clearly, no President keeps every campaign promise made.
At best, we can hope for one or two items the person ran on. One of the reasons I was considering Trump was his promise to fill the vacancies in the Judicial system. So far, he's managed to do pretty well.
Number of Judges appointed thus far by Trump.
There are currently 91 vacancies.
I would hope that before the next election, regardless of who wins, that of those 91 vacancies, he'll fill at least half.
If he gets reelected, I hope he manages to fill them all.
