Some of Trump's accomplishments in only a few short years

By Rational Db8

ECONOMY JOBS

Prior to the pandemic:

  • Record high average wage increases in 2019, and very high average wage increases in 2017 and 2018 
  • Average American with more than $6,000 extra in their pocket. 
  • Lowest unemployment rates for blacks, minorities, and women Lowest ever income gap between blacks and whites. 
  • Lowest unemployment rate overall in over 40 years. 
  • Passed Tax Cuts with highest percentage of aid to poorest, then middle class.

During the pandemic: 

CHINESE COVID-1 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

  • Massive coronavirus relief funds for individuals and businesses. Used 4 Executive Orders to provide relief for unemployed & businesses when Democrats blocking another relief bill demanding bailouts for blue cities and states for problems from before pandemic began.
  • Massive pandemic supply support where needed to states
  • Fastest ever production of vaccines for brand new virus; from identification of the virus to the start of phase three clinical trials in much less than a year (normally takes many years to get to this point)
  • Sept. 8, 2020: Public Trusts Trump More than National Media on Coronavirus 
  • During the worst periods of the pandemic, Trump's coronavirus actions were praised effusively by a huge number of governors, including those in hard core blue states such as Democrats Cuomo (NY) and Newsom (CA), along with Republicans such as DeSantis (FL), and Abbot (TX).  Other notables such as Dr. Deborah Birx (adviser to both the Obama and Trump administrations on responses to infectious diseases), Dr. Anthony Fauci (director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) and Dr. Scott Gottlieb (former head of the Food and Drug Administration) also praised his response and haven't faulted him.

JUSTICE & CRIME

HEALTH CARE

  • Drastically improved health care for Veterans by making it far easier to fire incompetent and/or corrupt federal employees in the VA system.
  • Presided over historic drop in opioid related deaths  with overdose deaths dropping for the first time since 1990.  They've started rising again, however, because of despair and depression brought on by coronavirus and the effects of lockdowns and social distancing.
  • Lowered prescription drug costs, and working on lowering them more.

IMMIGRATION

  • 300+ miles of wall built in areas where it was the most needed (zero under Obama). 
  • Got Mexico to actually defend their southern border from illegal aliens entering, thus keeping hundreds of thousands of them from traveling to the USA to enter here illegally
  • Arranged a deal with Mexico for those from third nations seeking asylum in the USA by passing through Mexico would remain in Mexico until their asylum claims were evaluated here.

FOREIGN POLICY

  • Nominated for fourth Nobel Peace Prize...Finnish member of the European Parliament (MEP) ..."in recognition of his endeavors to end the era of endless wars, construct peace by encouraging conflicting parties for dialogue and negotiations, as well as underpin internal cohesion and stability of his country. " ...cited the Abraham Accords" peace deals between two Arab Gulf nations and Israel...said Trump has "maintained national cohesion and secured law and order" at home... "It is hard to imagine a president of the United States from the last decades, or a current head of state, who would deserve more the Committee's recognition in 2021 than President Trump for his efforts to build peace in the world,......"
  • Nominated for third Nobel Peace Prize for the "Trump Doctrine" which has resulted in such historic gains with so many different international issues
  • Historic - America Canada Mexico treaty replacing NAFTA with provisions vastly more favorable to USA citizens and businesses
  • Historic - Five More Arab Nations Expected to Sign Abraham Accords Deal with Israel</a>, some prior to the election, some likely after.
  • Historic - Trump recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital, moves American embassy there in 2018 - after the last 4 or 5 presidents at least promised to do so but never did. 
  • Historic: Trump brokers deal for UAE recognition of Israel resulting peace treaty, Aug. 13, 2020.
  • Subsequently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, 9/9/2020..
  • Historic: Brokers breakthrough economic deal between Serbia and Kosovo, and with normalized Israel relations, 9/4/2020. 
  • Nominated for 2nd Nobel Prize for Kosovo - Serbia Peace Agreement, 9/11/2020
  • Historic - Bahrain Will Normalize Diplomatic Relations with Israel, 9/11/2020...In the past several weeks [before 9/11/20], Israel has reached historic agreements to establish peace and normalize relations with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and with Muslim-majority Chad and Muslim-majority Kosovo. In addition, Serbia, Malawi, Chad, and Kosovo have agreed to put embassies in Jerusalem, following the lead of the Trump administration, which did so in 2018. Saudi Arabia has also agreed to allow Israeli commercial aircraft to fly over its territory for the first time..."
  • Almost certainly fallout from the Trump successful negotiations with other Arab nations re: Israel: Saudis to Palestinians: Stop being losers and cut a deal -- or else; Update: "You have never heard a Saudi official discuss it" like this before.  Prince Bandar, interview part 1: and; Prince Bandar, interview part 2:
  • Created a historic new branch of the military for the 21st century, the Space Force. 
  • Pulled USA out of the defunct Iran Nuclear Weapon Deal - later the U.N. inspectors reported that they had 10x the amount of nuclear material they were allowed in the deal, thus proving Trump's claim they violated the deal to be correct.
  • Signed the bipartisan the Taylor Force Act into law, in 2018, cutting aid to the Palestinian Authority while it pays stipends to terrorists and their families.
  • Ended U.S. funding for a U.N. "refugee" agency for Palestinians that according to critics encourages radicalism and prolongs the conflict.
  • Convinced NATO members to begin spending closer to their NATO agreements.
  • Made & signed deal with Poland to Relocate Troops from Germany after Germany's failure to meet their NATO spending obligations.
  • Iranian President: Oil Revenues Down Over 80% Under U.S. Sanctions
  • Took multiple actions to weaken and isolate Iran and make their support of terrorist actions far more
  • Eliminated Iran's key leader of state sponsored terrorism.

NATIONAL SECURITY 

  • Returned utterly crucial national security steel production brought back to the USA from overseas
  • The same in progress for bringing medical drug production back to the USA,
  • Blocked terrorists from entering the country by banning travel from a few countries where there was no way to do good background checks on those people because of their failed governments or terrorist supporting governments
  • Rebuilt the Military after it's depletion by Obama-Biden. Potus Signs EO to Increase Domestic Production of Minerals, Mitigate China 

ENERGY

  • Trump energy policies made America energy independent for the first time in many decades.
  • America turned into a net exporter of energy for the first time.
  • Energy Department Issues Emergency Order to Help California's Failing Energy Grid, 9/7/2020.
  • Pulled us out of the toothless Paris Accords on supposed anthropogenic global warming, which all parties agreed long ago would have no effect on climate - and appears to be merely a Trojan horse for wealth redistribution.

EDUCATION

  • Historic funding for historically black universities
  • Eliminated Obama's grossly harmful "social justice" requirements for K-12 schools
  • Eliminated Obama's disastrous requirements on handling sexual assault allegations which had removed all due process and equal justice protections at Universities

MISCELLANEOUS

  • Ordered that all traces of the racist identity politics of "critical race theory" in the federal government be identified and eliminated.
  • Trump signs executive order barring critical-race theory training by federal contractors.

 And so it goes, on and on, and on!  Pretty good for a President who in this interview of Obama's alternate universe he says:

 “The thing that over the last four years, it’s not as if Trump has been all that active internationally." And that he "lacks the patience and the focus to really substantially change a lot of US foreign policy"....... "systematically tried to decimate our entire foreign policy infrastructure." 

In other words he's trying to fix the economic, domestic and foreign policy mess Obama and Biden left behind for the nation and the world!  And that's bad why?
