President Trump speaks during an event about prescription drug prices in the Rose Garden of the White House on May 11. A White House spokeswoman declined to comment. Others in Trump’s orbit concede that there is a gap between Trump’s promises as a candidate and his follow-through as president. The White House has effectively delayed another of Trump’s biggest campaign promises, the creation of $1 trillion in new spending on infrastructure projects that would rebuild roads, U.S. ports, schools, housing and airports. Moore said that although Trump hasn’t yet followed through on some of these promises, he could still do it soon.
