Donald<br />
Trump carried this tic into the<br />
White House, where after five<br />
months in office, his habit of<br />
touting, then failing to deliver<br />
either timely policy proposals<br />
or evidence to back an<br />
assortment of claims, has<br />
become a recurring theme of<br />
his presidency.<br />
When it comes to policy,<br />
President Donald Trump<br />
has a decent record of at<br />
least pursuing his<br />
TRUMP<br />
core<br />
campaign promises.<br />
Obamacare is on the<br />
ropes. The US is on its<br />
way out of the Paris<br />
Climate deal. He has tried,<br />
over and again, to enact<br />
some kind of travel ban,<br />
first pitched as a blanket<br />
halt on Muslim<br />
immigration before being<br />
edited to block people<br />
from six Muslim-majority<br />
nations.<br />
Where Trump falls curiously short, though, is<br />
in his day-to-day commitments. They'll come.<br />
It'll just be a few weeks, he says. But then<br />
the weeks drag on. The phenomenon isn't<br />
new, exactly, as his campaign was filled with<br />
empty threats -- the infamous "beans" were<br />
never spilled on Ted Cruz's wife -- and<br />
unfulfilled guarantees, like the press<br />
conference Trump said, in early August of<br />
2016, Melania Trump would hold "over the<br />
next couple of weeks." It never came.
