Yesterday Chicks on the Right posted an article listing the top twenty-five accomplishments of President Trump.
Here is the list:
- Passage of the tax reform bill providing $5.5 billion in cuts and repealing the Obamacare mandate.
- Increase of the GDP above 3 percent
- A rebound in economic confidence to a 17-year high.
- Prioritizing women-owned businesses for some $500 million in SBA loans
- Signed an Executive Order demanding that two regulations be killed for every new one creates. He beat that big and cut 16 rules and regulations for every one created, saving $8.1 billion.
- Withdrew from the Obama-era Paris Climate Agreement, ending the threat of environmental regulations.
- Eliminated an Obama rule on streams that Trump felt unfairly targeted the coal industry.
- Made good on his campaign promise to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
- Worked to bring companies back to the U.S., and companies like Toyota, Mazda, Broadcom Limited, and Foxconn announced plans to open U.S. plants.
- Ended Obama’s deal with Cuba.
- Ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to kill Obama’s Clean Power Plan.
- Ended the Obama-era “catch and release” of illegal immigrants.
- Boosted the arrests of illegals inside the U.S.

- In his first week, Trump reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy that blocks some $9 billion in foreign aid being used for abortions.
- Signed the VA Choice and Quality Employment Act of 2017 to authorize $2.1 billion in additional funds for the Veterans Choice Program.
- Directed the rebuilding of the military and ordered a new national strategy and nuclear posture review.
- Imposed a travel ban on nations that lack border and anti-terrorism security.

- Pushed for strong action against global outlaw North Korea and its development of nuclear weapons.

That’s a pretty good year for someone who has had to fight the Democrats, the establishment Republicans and the mainstream media.
