President Donald Trump marked on Sunday two years since his inauguration by boasting about his promises as well as what he called “historic results.”
The White House tweeted a link to a statement from Trump about his accomplishments, and the Republican Party fired off a similar tweet about “promises made, promises kept.”
Vice President Mike Pence and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel also sent out similar congratulatory tweets bragging about Trump’s supposed accomplishments.
The messages brought Trump’s critics out in force:
Nope. His core promise was that Mexico would pay for the wall. Now he has shut down the government for 29 days because he cannot get us to pay for it. More than 800,000 people are without a paycheck. When you lie for him, you are killing the Republican Party.

What promises have you kept? Genuinely curious… I can't think of one.

He can’t even keep the government running, the most basic of responsibilities.

Who hurt you so deeply and broke your soul to the point where you cannot exist without craving constant attention, credit, praise and validation? The depth of your insecurities, neuroses and punishing self-hatred is staggering... #Trump
