Has Trump promised that?
No
Trump has promised a Wall on the Southern border.
He's promised to deport illegal aliens with criminal records and keep them out.
He's promised to start enforcing immigration laws with the caveat that once the system is in place he will provide a fast track way for people who had been living here peacefully can come back.
He's promised to renegotiate trade deals.
He's promised to stop our factories from closing and moving overseas and to bring back manufacturing that has already left.
There's also a promise to work the tax code more favorably to the middle class.
He's has promised to appoint Supreme Court justices who will be conservative and had offered a couple of examples of who he is thinking about.
Now if he can do all that we may have a chance at completely restoring our constitutional republic. But it's going to take most of what he's talking about to have a remote shot at doing it.

I think your analysis is right on the money.
I think of Trump as the exterminator that rids my house of rats & termites, and the roofer that fixes my leaky roof, and the police officer that protect my family from thieves, murderers and rapists, etc., etc..
Maybe in 4 or 8 years after my home is rebuilt, and my family is safe, we can talk about the proper way to run a household, the feng shui of furniture arrangement, good values for a healthy and moral life, we can talk about who is the more constitutionally conservative, and it may well not be Trump.
There are a few things Cruz says that are far more in line with my conservative beliefs than what Trump says, such as - bring back manufacturing jobs not by levying import tariffs, but by reducing corporate taxes and regulations. Tariffs raise costs to consumers and cause trade wars because they are met with retaliatory tariffs from our trading partners.
I just don’t think Cruz grasps the fact that we are already in a trade war and we are losing because we have unilaterally disarmed by taking ‘the high road’. True, in an ideal world tariffs are ‘bad’, just as weapons of mass destruction are ‘bad’. But we can’t unilaterally disarm in either case. It’s peace through strength in either case.
Same with the borders.
Same with political correctness.
There will be a time for high moral principles, politeness and statesmanship, but right now we need a fighter, someone tough, someone to rid this place of vermin and parasites.
Trump gets it, Cruz does not.
