The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump, during his 2024 presidential campaign, has been tempering some of his more grandiose promises from his previous campaigns. Initially, Trump made sweeping commitments like building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, repealing and replacing Obamacare, and achieving a balanced budget. However, as he campaigns again, he has begun to adjust these promises.

This recalibration appears to be an attempt to manage expectations and present a more pragmatic approach to governance, possibly in response to the complexities and realities of policy implementation he faced during his presidency. This strategic pivot is seen as an effort to appeal to voters by showing a willingness to adapt and compromise, while still maintaining his core base's support.
