With his rallying ⁣cry “Make America ⁢Great Again,” he inspired‍ voters with promises ⁣to generate⁤ jobs, reduce taxes, ⁣and ignite economic growth. Now, nearly four years ‌into his presidency, many ⁣Americans⁣ are left pondering whether these pledges have materialized into real change or if they remain ⁢mere echoes of a campaign trail.
