We’re not spinning Sue.
When you cast your vote for Donald Trump, you basically lost all of your ability to shame, criticize, denigrate, or insult the President because no matter what he says or does, Trump said or did something worse.
Trump wasn’t just uninformed, and stupid, when he didn’t know something he just lied about it or attacked person asking the question.
Even you know that the Harris/Biden presidency is a sad mistake and of immense danger to our country. When Biden's senility comes up, you instantly deflect to the great, former President Trump. If you want to talk about Trump, fine, let's do it!
What a terrible president: The comprehensive list of Trump accomplishments
August 30, 2020
Summary
Unemployment: Record low unemployment for blacks, Hispanics, women and other minorities. (This is tempered by the rising participation rate, which was down 3-4% when Trump took over.)
Participation rate climbing. While not fully recovered a half point rise in participation rate signals a significant claw back to pre-Obama levels. What this means is that people who gave up looking for work during the abysmally slow Obama recovery are finally looking to go back to work.
Wages rising – for the first time in decades wages rising for the middle class and poor. Last year wages for the poorest outpaced the richest in a very rare occurrence rising 4 and a half percent.
Productivity rising. An important but obscure statistic that is necessary to produce rising wages without stimulating inflation. Our productivity has been rising in the last few years breaking the record for decades again.
Growth rate hits 3% again. Obama’s economy averaged 1.5% over the 8 years. Trump is doing about twice Obama’s growth rate. Closer to the historic rate of 3% for the 25 years prior to Obama.
Investment in the US rising. Last year a trillion dollars was invested in the US by foreigners. More than a trillion has been repatriated of profits by domestic companies that have stashed their money away in the previous 8 years due to stultifying tax rates. A lot of this has gone into building manufacturing in the US something the prior administration said was impossible.
Stock market up 10,000 points. Unbelievable.
The US is the fastest growing country in the world now. A stunning achievement for the largest economy in the world by far. The US has grown from 1/5th the world economy to 1/4 the world economy in Trump’s 3 short years.
Heartland revived. Tax policies and incentives have pushed interest back to investing in the middle of America. Factories and other industries reinvigorating the middle of the country long neglected and abused by policies centered around liberal centers of population.
Energy independence. In a stunning and unexpected development the US is now the largest oil producer and the largest energy producer altogether. We now have energy independence a catch phrase that eluded us for 50 years now achieved in less than 3 years.
Manufacturing coming back. More than 500,000 manufacturing jobs created when Democrats said it was impossible. We lost 4 million jobs just to the Chinese from trade policies. So, 500,000 is a drop in the bucket but the trend is good.
Illegal immigration down – not in absolute terms but both Trump and I predicted massive increase in illegal immigration if his policies succeeded. A surging US economy would create massive force to drive illegal immigration. The Democrats claimed it was a non-problem then finally forced to admit it was a big problem have tried to paint it as evil that Trump is stopping people from entering the US. Immigration control is critical or all Trump’s policies of helping the middle class can be destroyed. He would be creating jobs for illegal immigrants not displaced American workers which he promised.
Wall being built. The biggest pushback it seems the left has tried on Donald Trump is to hobble his ability to build the wall. They have partially succeeded in that after 3 years only a small part has been rebuilt or newly built. Nonetheless it is getting built and he is doing it cheaper.
China confronted. While the Dems were complicit in China walking all over us passing and pushing for more free trade deals and not calling China to task for any of its egregious crimes against the US Trump has finally pulled the plug on the dangerous Chinese government that not only was stealing trillions in IP and other trade violations but is killing its own citizens and staging up its military not as an ally but as competition to us.
Caliphate defeated. I didn’t believe he would accomplish this as fast as he did. 10 months in and the caliphate was almost entirely destroyed. Astonishing success.
Nafta renogotiated. Trump successfully renogotiated NAFTA and the result by independent economic analysis will be the biggest boost to the US economy by any trade deal in history. Yahoo.
China agreement. Trump will sign phase 1 in January ensuring many many billions in farm sales and improvements in areas while keeping most of the existing tariffs in place. Inflation is 0%. The treasury is $100 billion richer and thousands of companies are moving to the US from china.
Japan agreement.
Military rebuilt
NATO invigorated and strengthened. NATO has added more than $100 billion to its budget and 22 of 26 nations including Germany are now saying they will meet the 2% minimum requirement for NATO membership.
Regulations decline
Court appointments. The president has appointed 2 Supreme Court justices and 148 other high level judges breaking the record of any other president.
Campus free speech. He has passed executive order providing sanctions against colleges which don’t enforce free speech.
Religious freedom.
Drug prices down
Obamacare mandate removed
Justice reform
Child tax credits
Withdrawal from world conflicts and endless wars
Exposing the real Russia conspiracy and the crimes of Democrats
Cleaning out some of the swamp. Reform of the FBI, CIA, NSA and DOJ on the way after IG reports and Durham indictments and trials complete.
Enterprise zones
Brexit win
Israel strengthened. Besides moving our embassy to Jerusalem Trump has bolstered Israel with powerful UN rebuffing to Jew hating nations and beat down the measures targeting Israel. He has supported Israel taking over additional lands that were in dispute and passed religious freedom measures.
middle class tax cuts. While low on this list it has been the centerpiece of producing the gains of the economy over the last 2 years. It is driving business back to America, reinvigorating the heartland and providing a break to the middle and lower classes.
Massive regulatory reform reducing costs to businesses
3 IG reports, 1 or 2 more pending outlining the corruption of our most important security and justice departments
Barr AG – restoring competent leadership to the DOJ and cleaning up the swamp
Escape the Paris agreement. The Paris agreement would have cost the US trillions as we were required to help countries with their energy by helping build competitive industry in foreign countries.
Iran under pressure
Soleimani killed
Delivered all the venitilators, PPE, hospital beds needed by every state. Every governor admitted it even liberals
Delivered aid to small business that resulted in 10 million more jobs in May than analysts expected
Pushing to open the economy so we can get a V shaped recovery which will generate jobs America needs to get back
Delivered testing that exceeds the combined testing of the rest of the world.
Shepherding the drug companies to produce various drugs and the vaccine companies. Developing program warp speed which will be able to deliver vaccines to every American by the end of the year
Implemented drug pricing scheme that drug companies cannot charge Americans more than other countries which will save Americans a trillion dollars over 10 years
America has the lowest case death rate in the world and fewer deaths than Europe in spite of egregious errors by blue states
A peace deal between UAE and Israel that establishes alliance for first time with a major rich Arab country and Israel.
N Korea stopped nuclear weapons testing and long distance missiles.
He has negotiated the return of 53 Americans imprisoned in horrible countries.
Durable multi-year funding for historically black colleges at record levels.
Cleaned the air and water to record low levels of pollution.
Prevented Russia from gaining more land and imposing sanctions on Russia that have crippled it.
This is an incredible list of accomplishments especially in light of the House of Representatives spending 99% of its time trying to impeach and stop President Trump from accomplishing anything.
