Here are a few of Trump's more important accomplishments. There is lots more than this:
- Middle class wage increases. Incomes in general soared in 2018, with average hourly earnings finally eclipsing 3 percent growth for the first time since before the Great Recession. The news is even better for blue-collar workers, who now realize wage growth above that of white-collar workers for the first time in nearly a decade.
- U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Deal – Trump proved that America welcomes equitable global commerce by cementing a badly needed modernization of NAFTA. The USMCA provides a template for other such trade pacts and effectively isolates China’s increasingly untenable posture.
- Ending the Iran Nuclear Deal – Gone are the days of coddling the mullahs who have terrorized America and our allies for decades. Instead of counting the billions of dollars of cash sent via secret nighttime flights by the Obama administration, the Tehran regime now faces a U.S. leadership determined to thwart its tyranny and prevent its nuclearization.
- Moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem – Trump proved once again how differently he governs compared to Washington norms. Past presidents promised for decades to make this move and U.S. law has required it since 1995, but only President Trump made good on his pledge, honored our ally, and recognized the obvious reality that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel.
- Smashing the ISIS Caliph**e and Exiting Syria. Unlike his predecessor, who haughtily dismissed and ignored the ISIS threat as terrorists’ “JV team,” President Trump smartly dispatched limited U.S. troops to help our partners erase the territorial caliph**e that had inflicted unspeakable human rights abuses. Just as importantly, Trump also announced the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Syria, placing the primary burden for ongoing stability upon regional powers Israel, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
- Increasing Minority Jobs – If Trump is actually r****t, as biased mainstream media “journalists” often claim, he’s remarkably bad at it, because people of color have thrived under the pro-growth policies of the Trump Boom. Black joblessness in 2018 reached the lowest levels ever recorded. For Hispanics, in history there have been a total of 14 months with a jobless rate under 5 percent -- and 13 of those months have unfolded under the leadership of President Trump. Small business dynamism is particularly crucial for minority advancement, and small business surveys report optimism among entrepreneurs at record highs in 2018.
- Record American Oil Production – In 2018, the U.S. surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world’s largest producer of crude oil. Through aggressive regulatory relief and pro-energy moves like green-lighting the Keystone XL pipeline, President Trump paved the way for an independent energy future.
Now I'm sure you're going to go ahead and tell me that Obama did all these things...but real, every day average Americans know that is a joke because they are experiencing the benefits NOW, not two years ago.

I would like to know where you got that blue collar information. That is news to me..
Wage increases in general have been confined to information technology and accounting..
I believe your 3% goes back even further, to even the 70s... it has nothing at all to do with trump or his tax gift..
U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Deal----
trumps changes, which have not yet been ratified, did nothing more then change the name of NAFTA and minor changes in the auto parts imports..
The markets lost to agriculture may last far longer then any auto plants now that GM has had to bail.
NAFTA had nothing to do with China...
Ending the Iran Nuclear Deal -----
every other nation and our own intelligence say the Iran deal was and is working.. the other nations remain in the agreement to this day..
No American money went to Iran.. no matter how much you right wingers insist, the money returned to Iran was their own money.. done as required at the time..
Again...not US money!!!!
Moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem ------
This was not done by any past President for the reasons you should note currently..
It has brought increased violence and death to the Arab/Jew conflict.. if you noticed the BBC news for instance over the last months violence in suicide bombs and shootings has increased. I can not say that is due to the Jerusalem move, but that is what most expected to happen..
Smashing the ISIS Caliph**e and Exiting Syria.-----
Wow, this one is a dozy... Inspite of President Obama and his poor choice of words on the "JV" quote, Obama and the Generals make the tactics that removed ISIS.. thrump did make a change to allow most decisions to be made by the local command.. a good move. I think..
Good for us, the ground work was nearly all done by Kurdish fighters and not our own troops on the ground..
Withdrawal from Syria is now on hold.. Israel, Saudi Arabia and UAE will never agree on anything..
Increasing Minority Jobs -----
All of this economy which is very good, is the continuation of President Obama work from 2010. Longest bull market in US history.. HooRay for Obama!!!!
Do you think trump tell any business which person to hire?? the minority employment has nothing at all to do with him nor any other president.. Water lifts all boats.. Under Obama, black unemployment went from 16% to 8%.. trump moved it to; what 5%?
Record American Oil Production----
This would be good and maybe true if the oil we produce when only to our country.. but it gets added to the world market with all the rest and thus effected by world production and prices.. My local gas went up 15 cents in only days.. Why??
You only see these things now?? you need to move, in Minnesota those economic conditions have been in place from 2011.. In 2010, Minnesota led the nation in job creation..
It is all Obama...!!!
