What Trump promised oil CEOs as he asked them to steer $1 billion to his campaign
Trump’s response stunned several of the executives in the room overlooking the ocean: You all are wealthy enough, he said, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House. At the dinner, he vowed to immediately reverse dozens of President Biden’s environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being enacted, according to people with knowledge of the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a private conversation.

No, because that language refers to "a particular act". Trump is not promising anything except "whatever". It's very non-specific.
Honestly it would be on brand for him to just lie.
Sounds specific.
Add it to the list of crimes, then. Maybe a judge will give him a $1,000 scolding.
Even still. Trump could be exceptionally precise, mention an exceedingly specific thing, and Roberts would just move the goalposts again.
It’s his plan regardless. Now he’s getting paid in advance.

Putin tactic. Give me a percentage so I can become boss and demand a larger percentage.
Goddamnet if I've ever heard of a room more in need of a half pound brick of c4 covered in a pound of pennies.
