Trump’s broken promises: economy, war and ICE

Al Jazeera has aired a new episode of its debate programme Head to Head asking how Donald Trump's second term measures up against the promises he made on the campaign trail, according to the broadcaster.

The 58-minute episode, published on October 23, features host Mehdi Hasan debating Steve Cortes, a former Trump campaign adviser, on the economy, Trump's immigration policies and Islamophobia, the broadcaster's episode description says.

According to Al Jazeera, the discussion takes place with the US midterm elections approaching, the balance of power in Congress at stake and the outcome potentially shaping the legacy of Trump's second term. The description notes that Trump faces mounting challenges, including low approval ratings, an unpopular war in Iran and high inflation.

As Republicans face growing voter dissatisfaction, the broadcaster says, Trump's record has become a central battleground in the fight to control Congress.

The episode also features three guests, according to Al Jazeera: Olivia Troye, a former homeland security and counterterrorism adviser to Vice President Mike Pence; Mike Nellis, a Democratic strategist and former senior adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris; and Rob Arlett, a former Trump campaign chair and political commentator.

The programme, described by the broadcaster as a head-to-head debate, examines Trump's record on the three big themes of the title — the economy, the war and ICE — with Hasan pressing Cortes and the other guests on where they say the administration has fallen short of its own pledges.
