“...this clearly contradicts Trumps stated campaign promise.”

The tweet you’re promoting is from 2013.
Here is Trump’s statement during the campaign on April 28, 2016 in an interview with Bill O’Reilly:

DONALD TRUMP (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I would stay in Afghanistan. It’s probably the one place we should have gone in the Middle East because it’s adjacent and right next to Pakistan which has nuclear weapons. So I think you have to stay and do the best you can, not that it’s ever going to be great but I don’t think we have much of a choice. That’s one place, frankly, instead of going to Iraq we probably should have gone there first. I would say in Afghanistan and only, again, because of its location next to Pakistan.
