Whether you like him or not, you must admit that Trump has kept a great deal of his campaign promises (far more than I ever expected). Though not all the best for our country, his core supporters are likely to be pleased. Few politicians ever achieve this.

Trump Keeping Promises

That's a valid point that you make. I think that the main controversy surrounding his first 100 days is not necessarily him keeping his campaign promises, but what the campaign promises actually are.
Nonetheless, there are certain promises that he has continued to make - for instance, regarding healthcare, that Republicans have quickly realized might be unattainable (at least immediately). Repeal and (immediately) replace has been replaced by a call for the repair of the ACA.
I do not think Republicans expected to be in the position to repeal and replace Obamacare, likely the reason they do not yet have a plan.
Nonetheless, that was one of Trump's campaign promises - he continues to make this promise, but the rudiments of the plan won't be set up until the end of this year, potentially early 2018.
Just saw this! I just wanted to put my two cents in - I think the reason why Trump is keeping his promises is because he is coming from a business background. Presidents in the past have made promises during their campaign and then quickly broken them, because no one expects all promises to be kept - part of this is because the President doesn't have 100% power, but it's also simply because it's how the system has worked for so long. A businessman, on the other hand, has to keep his promises. When your business proposal is accepted, it should be exactly as you described. And Trump is doing a pretty good job of that, I've gotta say!
