So if, during the campaign, he promised to give you $1,000,000,000 and then signed an executive order stating the same, but never paid you, you would consider that keeping his promise? Having an executive order and then not following it is useless.
I am not trying to crap on him, I like the concept of what he is trying to do with this situation. But, to me, he broke this particular campaign promise.
