It's hard to say. The one thing most people close to Trump agree with is that he's obsessed with "the base."
So there is definitely a certain level of opportunism there. But regardless of what the reasons for fulfilling these promises are, the fact that he sought to at least try to fulfill them is undeniable.
I mean on a base level I think he was truer to his campaign than Obama, Bush, Bill Clinton, etc.
