Donald Trump's Accomplishments As President


In a nutshell, President Trump had brought about:


— Unemployment at 3.2%

— Record low unemployment for Blacks and Hispanics

— The lowest unemployment rate for women in 70 years

— 40 months in a row with more job openings than hirings

— Jobless claims at 60-year low

— Inflation averaging below 2%

— Poverty rate at an historic low

— Household wealth at record highs

— Income increased $6K to a median of $65K. Double the gains from the last decade

— Manufacturing rose 3.6%

— Energy independence

— The U.S. as a net energy exporter for the first time in 70 years


... AND THEN, three and one quarter years into Trump's presidency, Democrats decided to take advantage of a worldwide pandemic and President Trump's call for "15 days to flatten the curve" so they could shut down the entire nation indefinitely, and destroy his economy. The motivation, obviously being to win the next election against him. And, now here we are under Biden's failed administration, and we have the highest inflation rate in over 40 years, an unresolved supply chain crisis, high fuel/gas prices, energy dependence, empty shelves, food shortages, falling wages, a rising poverty rate, diminishing production, and a world on the brink of WWIII and nuclear war.



And, here is more detailed information regarding President Trump's economy and accomplishments.

• Deployed nearly 5,000 troops to the Southern border. In addition, Mexico deployed tens of thousands of its soldiers and national guardsmen to secure their side of the US-Mexico border.

NATO, foreign affairs, and the military


• Secured a $400 billion increase in defense spending from NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) allies by 2024, and the number of members meeting their minimum obligations more than doubled.

• Credited by Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg for strengthening NATO.

• Worked to reform and streamline the United Nations (UN) and reduced spending by $1.3 billion.

• Moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem as promised by past U.S. Presidents, but never acted upon due to political issues appeasing the Palestinians and the Arab Middle-East.
