A Final Look At The Many Accomplishments of The Trump Presidency, The Most Successful Presidency in Generations

Disclosures up front:

• I have never voted for a Republican for President in my life.
• Thus, I did not vote for Trump either time.
• For a while when I lived in New Jersey I was a registered Democrat.

Thus, I am not biased Republican and conservative when it comes to assessing the accomplishments of any politician. And I agree that Trump is rude, crude, brash, obnoxious, etc. 

However, I am a bottom line sort of guy. I worked in the corporate world for some bosses that were not very nice, that they insisted on results first and niceties later. But they got positive results year in and year out and I grew to appreciate that they were focused on doing the right things and if people's feelings got hurt because they were not doing their own job then so be it.

Thus, as the Trump administration unfolded, I started to document the accomplishments of the Trump Presidency as they piled up despite his abrasive personality. This effort ended up covering about 20 different posts and documenting over 200 substantial accomplishments of his administration. Those previous listings of accomplishment posts can be accessed by typing “horrors and destruction” in the search box above. You can also go to the 11th post directly which has links to the first ten Trump accomplishment posts embedded in it:

“Successful” is where I kind of land on Trump. He is obnoxious but he got results. Off the top of my head, I can present the following successes of his administration:

1. The overall unemployment rate dropped below 4% and stayed there for a while, a feat that was once thought economically impossible.
2. The African-American unemployment rate dropped down to record low levels.
3. The Hispanic-American unemployment rate dropped down to record low levels.
4. The women unemployment rate dropped down to record low levels.
5. The non-college educated unemployment rate dropped down to record low levels.
6. More women entered the worked force than any other time in history.
7. His tax cut efforts gave well over 110 million Americans a major tax break, increasing their personal freedom in the process.
8. GDP grew to levels never seen during the Obama years.
9. Average household income grew substantially during his term after years of no or minimal annual growth.
10. His tax breaks for business resulting in hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of manufacturing jobs being created in the country, a reality that Obama once proclaimed would be impossible, that those manufacturing jobs were lost forever.
11. His tax breaks for business brought back $300 billion in wealth that was stranded overseas due to the high domestic business tax level, resulting in economic growth in this country.
12. The year after his tax break program was implemented, charitable giving hit an all time high, over $400 billion, as taxpayers were able to be more generous with their charitable donations.
13. These economic successes were attained in the context of a low inflation rate.
14. He forced NATO members to finally honor their commitment from a military budget perspective in support of the coalition.
15. He facilitated multiple peace accords between Israel and Arab countries, something once thought impossible.
16. He imposed stiff economic sanctions on the leading terrorist country in the World, Iran, which helped protect not only Israel but also the rest of the world.
17. He cut off foreign aid to the PLO which had been using foreign aid to attack Israel.
18. He helped keep North Korea under control, coming closer than any other President to get their maniac leader to idle back his weapons programs.
19. He did succeed in getting the North Koreans to return the remains of U.S. soldiers that died in North Korean territory during the Korean War, a gesture that means the world to families who never reached closure with the loss of their loved ones, an important issue to my family.
20. If people have not noticed, Russia had been relatively quiet during his term, a reality not present under Obama, see Ukranian invasion by the Russians.
21. He helped fix the dysfunctional Veterans Administration by firing inept administrators and changing some of the rules so that veterans could get better medical attention.
22. He negotiated a much better trade treaty with Canada and Mexico, replacing the NAFTA treaty, a feat that even organized labor applauded.
23. He initiated programs to protect religious and sexual preference freedom around the world.
24. He withdrew us out of the ridiculous Paris Climate Accords but still led the U.S. to reduce its carbon footprint by about 140 million metric tons a year, according to a United Nations report, by far the most successful carbon footprint reduction in the world.
25. He defeated ISIS in a matter of months, a feat that Obama said would take generations.

These are major, major accomplishments that far out distance the accomplishments of his predecessor, Obama, and other recent Presidencies. I dare anyone to list out Obama’s accomplishments, Bush’s accomplishments, etc. and try to match up not just to these listed 25 accomplishments of Trump but the 175 or so other ones that I have previously documented but not listed above.

Do not believe me? Consider a recent article Victoria Taft from the American Patriots United website where she also tried to document the success of the Trump administration:

1. He helped generate a booming economy for three years and then guided the economy to a soft landing and quick turnaround as a result of the devastating pandemic.
2. He implemented “Operation Warp Speed” which got covid vaccines developed, produced and distributed in record, unprecedented time.
3. He got pandemic resources deployed quickly and efficiently, e.g. Navy hospital ship to NYC.
4. He donated his entire quarterly Presidential salary to worthy causes for four years.
5. He played far, far fewer rounds of golf than his 300+ golf rounds his predecessor played, focusing on the issues facing the country instead.
6. He slashed the use of funding for abortions via the UN Commission on Population Control due its funding of “coercive abortions and forced sterilizations.”
7. He signed an executive order that did not allow the Treasury Department to go after the First Amendment rights of political speech of pastors.
8. He renegotiated trade deals with Canada and Mexico that improved on the then current NAFTA trade agreement.
9. He got the country out of New World Order Davos-inspired trade agreements that put the U.S. at a trade disadvantage.
10. He greatly reduced Federal government regulations to the tune of 25,000 pages being lopped out of the Federal Register, which freed up the economy and is estimated to save every American about $3,100 a year by reducing business regulations.
11. The country saw its lowest unemployment rate in 50 years as African-American and Hispanic unemployment rates got down near record lows.
12. The nation’s labor participation rate was at its highest level in years.
13. Trump signed the First Step Act which was a criminal justice reform act that released prisoners from jail because of excessively long sentences as a result of Joe Biden’s sponsored legislation.
14. Trump reformed the Veterans Administration by getting rid of deadwood high ranking officials and allowing veterans to pick their own doctors, improving the overall health care of all veterans.
15. Trump positioned the country to be energy independent and a net exporter of energy, the first time this was attained in 75 years.
16. He started no wars and did not militarily attack any other country, something that had not been done over the most recent administrations.
17. In fact, he began bringing U.S. troops home from Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq after Bush and Obama had placed troops in each of those countries.
18. He defeated ISIS in a matter of months, something once thought impossible.
19. His sanctions crippled the Iranians’ terrorism activites while taking out the world’s number one terrorist who was a part of the Iranian terror machine.
20. His son-in-law brokered peace deals between Israel and several Arab countries once thought impossible.
21. Trump withdrew the U.S. out of the sham United Nations “Human Rights Council” which was often overseen by dictators who oppressed their own people while constantly condemning Israel.
22. Unlike the Obama administration and the incoming Biden administration, Trump supported law enforcement officers across the country, offering Federal support whenever a local police force was under attack and duress, e.g. Portland, Chicago, and Seattle.

These are just another person’s view to mine that Trump was one of the more successful Presidents of our time despite being, as we stated above, rude, crude, obnoxious, uncouth, etc. And again, I would rather have a horse’s rear end as a leader who got things done to the betterment of us all than a smooth talking, coddling, smiling, leader who got nothing done. 

Biden has a big mountain ahead of him if he thinks he can accomplish as much as Trump. And as someone who did not vote for Trump, it is my opinion that Biden has no chance to be anywhere close as effective as Trump was. The lists of accomplishments above are way beyond anything that Biden will be capable of following up on.

July, 2020, Update: “The Horrors And Destruction That Donald Trump Has Imposed On America...Just Kidding!”

We are in the middle of our monthly “Political Class Insanity” stream but wanted to take time out from that craziness before continuing with the current insanity running through the American political class. Over the past three years we have been running an occasional series sarcastically called, “The Horrors And Destruction That Donald Trump Has Imposed On America...Just Kidding!” During those multiple posts we have tried to take an objective view of Trump’s administration and its accomplishments.

Having never voted for a Republican President in my life (I am 67 years old) and thus, having not voted for Trump, I think I have somewhat of an unbiased view of the Trump Presidency. The purpose of these posts has been to get down below the liberal hate and venom they have for Trump, and everything else in this country that is not supporting of liberal causes, views, and craziness, and get to the bottom of what his accomplishments, if any, have been.

In doing so, we easily came up with hundreds of positives that the country has experienced under the Trump Presidency that most Democrats and liberals will deny but what reality will say are true, including:

• Reducing the African-American unemployment level to record lows.
• Reducing the Hispanic unemployment level to record lows.
• Reducing the non-high school graduate unemployment level to record lows.
• Reducing the female unemployment level to record lows.
• Reducing the overall unemployment level to record lows.
• Increasing household income steadily since taking office.
• Raising the income levels of the lowest earning Americans faster on a percentage basis than any other income level.
• Reducing the country’s carbon footprint by 140 million metric tons even though he withdrew us from the useless Paris Climate Agreement.
• Forcing NATO partners to finally fulfill their financial commitment to defending Europe from a military budget perspective.
• Keeping gas prices near record lows for a long time on an inflation adjusted basis.

You get the idea, it has been a very good Presidency so far along any number of perspectives. To see the hundreds of other accomplishments, enter, “The Horrors And Destruction That Donald Trump Has Imposed On America” in the search box above.

So let’s review some of his accomplishments that we have already discussed and add some new ones, using the same format that we used for the previous reviews of his Presidency:

***********************

Before we start today’s discussion, let’s review my voting history: 

• I have never voted for a Republican for President in my life.
• Thus, I did not vote for Trump. 
• I have rarely voted for a Republican for national office in my life. 

A little over three years ago, many liberals, Democrats, and millennials were besides themselves with grief and fear because their pre-ordained queen, Hillary Clinton, was not elected President. Instead, Donald Trump was elected, an individual that these same people despised, hated, and feared, an individual they felt would endanger and possibly destroy the country and our democracy. For the past three plus years they fretted, worried and lashed out at anything or anyone that even remotely smelled of Donald Trump.

Given that Trump has been in office for over three years, I thought, that as someone who did not vote for him, it would be a good idea to review the horror, trauma, and terrible things that Trump has subjected the country to in just eighteen month’s time. This is obviously a very sarcastic comment when you take an unbiased look at what has happened during the Trump Presidency. The many previous posts we did on this topic identified hundreds good things that have happened to America and Americans since Trump became President, including, but not limited, to the following:

* Trump recently signed 3 bills to benefit Native American people.

Another set of reasons to add to the previous hundreds why the first three plus years of the Trump Presidency has not wrought disaster on the country.

For those of you that have hated on Trump since day one, and given your obvious gross error in judgment relative to Trump, let me ask that you to do us all a favor by implementing the following changes in your behavior and attitude:

• Chill out, tamp down your TDS affliction. No matter how much you hate Trump on a sexist, personal basis, get over it. He is the legally and duly elected President, so refocus your hatred on more constructive issues and matters. You will live a lot longer if you take your hatred out of your heart and soul and devote it to something positive.
• I would really appreciate it if some of you would apologize to the Trump voters you have disrespected in some of the grossest terms possible over the past year. You have called millions of voters racists, ignorant, stupid, Nazis, KKK members, and other horrible names simply because you disagreed with their voting choice. No American should be called such disgusting names simply because they exercised their Constitutional rights to the best of their abilities. Plus, slandering over 60 million Americans is no way to unite the country and get it focused on the real issues facing us all.
• More personally, I would like, no I am demanding, an apology from some of you for your slanderous and disgusting name calling because in doing so, you insulted and disrespected my sister, my family members, my friends, and my co-workers who simply voted their conscience. I will defend their right to vote anyway they wanted and will not put up with your childish and vicious venom and bile directed at them, very important people in my life.
• And finally, I challenge you to read the following blog post, a post that shows quite clearly that it was hateful people like some of you and your silence during the Obama years that actually caused Trump to be elected. Thus, the people you hate for voting for Trump are actually looking back at you in the mirror:

https://loathemygovernment.blogspot.com/2016/03/how-american-liberals-and-washington.html

If you were silent in the dozens of instances listed in this post then you were responsible for the very thing you hate: a Trump Presidency. Or put another way, a so far successful and productive Trump Presidency. Hundreds of accomplishments in just over three years is not too shabby despite many of you wanting both Trump and the country to fail.

*********************

Great review of what has actually gone down in this country on the positive side of the ledger during the past three years, a reality that most of the country’s mainstream media refuse to acknowledge.

The Horrors And Destruction That Donald Trump Has Imposed On America...Just Kidding! Part 22

Before we start today’s discussion, let’s review my voting history: 

• I have never voted for a Republican for President in my life.
• Thus, I did not vote for Trump. 
• I have rarely voted for a Republican for national office in my life. 

A little over two years ago, many liberals, Democrats, and millennials were besides themselves with grief and fear because their pre-ordained queen, Hillary Clinton, was not elected President. Instead, Donald Trump was elected, an individual that these same people despised, hated, and feared, an individual they felt would endanger and possibly destroy the country and our democracy. For the past year and a half they fretted, worried and lashed out at anything or anyone that even remotely smelled of Donald Trump.

Given that Trump has been in office for about two and a half years, I thought, that as someone who did not vote for him, it would be a good idea to review the horror, trauma, and terrible things that Trump has subjected the country to in just twenty seven month’s time. This is obviously a very sarcastic comment when you take an unbiased look at what has happened during the Trump Presidency.

The many previous posts we did on this topic identified well over 250 good things that have happened to America and Americans since Trump became President can found by entering the phrase “the horrors and destruction” in the search box above. Today, let’s add another dozen or so good things that are going on in the country even though the doubters hate the reality that Trump is President [Note: we may have covered some of these before so consider the repeats, if any, a good review]:

• After years of no change in pay, Trump engineered a budget increase and thus, a pay raise for our brave folks serving in our armed forces.
• Trump embarrassed many NATO countries into finally paying their own fair share of their common defense, as required under the NATO Treaty requirements but what had been ignored in the past.
• ISIS, the most violent and despicable terrorist group of all time, was virtually wiped out by Trump’s military strategy in a matter of months even though Obama said it would take generations.
• Trump’s outreach to North Korea has resulted in North Korea not launching any more rocket tests since the Trump/Kim Jong Un summit last summer.
• The economy has been roaring on all cylinders since Trump took office with record low unemployment levels across the board, rising wages, low inflation, low gas prices, and a soaring stock market.
• Six million jobs have been created since Trump took office with many of them being on shore manufacturing jobs, jobs that Obama once said would take a “magic wand” to bring back.
• A recent study by two University of Pennsylvania sociologists found that Americans on average have become “much less racist” since Trump took office in 2016, killing the deceitful and hateful rhetoric of the mainstream press and Democrats/liberals.
• Trump has supported the need to better take care of our brave veterans, signing the Veterans Accountability and Whistleblower Act, signing the Harry W. Colmery Educational Assistance Act, signing the V.A. Choice and Quality Employment Act, and creating a new White House V.A. hotline, staffed by veterans and family members, to provide to any needs of any veteran.

For those of you that have hated on Trump since day one, and given your obvious gross error in judgment relative to Trump given the well 250 accomplishments we have previously listed and the eight newest accomplishments listed above, let me ask that you do us all a favor by implementing the following changes in your behavior and attitude:

• Chill out, tamp down your TDS affliction. No matter how much you hate Trump on a sexist, personal basis, get over it. He is the legally and duly elected President, he will be around for a while so refocus your hatred on more constructive issues and matters. You will live a lot longer if you take your hatred out of your heart and soul and devote it to something positive.
• I would really appreciate it if some of you would apologize to the Trump voters you have disrespected in some of the grossest terms possible over the past year. You have called millions of voters racists, ignorant, stupid, Nazis, KKK members, and other horrible names simply because you disagreed with their voting choice. No American should be called such disgusting names simply because they exercised their Constitutional rights to the best of their abilities. Plus, slandering over 60 million Americans is no way to unite the country and get it focused on the real issues facing us all.
• More personally, I would like, no I am demanding, an apology from some of you for your slanderous and disgusting name calling because in doing so, you insulted and disrespected my sister, my family members, my friends, and my co-workers who simply voted their conscience. I will defend their right to vote anyway they wanted and will no put up with your childish and vicious venom and bile directed at them, very important people in my life.
• And finally, I challenge you to read the following blog post, a post that shows quite clearly that it was hateful people like some of you and your silence during the Obama years that actually caused Trump to be elected. Thus, the people you hate for voting for Trump are actually looking back at you in the mirror:

If you were silent in the dozens of instances listed in this post then you were responsible for the very thing you hate: a Trump Presidency. Or put another way, a so far successful and productive Trump Presidency. Over 250 accomplishments in a little less than two and a half years is not too shabby despite many of you wanting both Trump and the country to fail.
