Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) on Friday blasted President Trump's job performance, accusing the commander-in-chief of not keeping his campaign promises.



“Let’s be honest, this is not the presidency we were promised," the freshman senator said in the Democratic weekly address.



"Americans deserve a president whose word they can trust, but the number of broken promises are adding up quickly."

“This president has certainly made a lot of promises, but so far he has an abysmal record of keeping them."

Duckworth argued that Trump did not live up to his pledge to separate himself from his business interests and fight for the jobs of the middle-class factory workers and farmers across the nation.“We can and must do better. Senate Democrats believe we need officials at every level of government capable of doing their jobs," she said."Despite the president’s promise to 'drain the swamp,' he has selected senior advisers and Cabinet officials who are unqualified, poorly vetted and ethically challenged — many are his old Wall Street friends."Duckworth also called for an independent investigation into Michael Flynn's contact with Moscow.
