- 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.
Given that Trump has been in office for just over a year, 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 one short year. This is obviously a very sarcastic comment when you take an unbiased look at what has happened during the Trump Presidency. The seven previous posts we did on this topic identified over 100 good things that have happened to America and Americans since Trump became President:

But those seven posts were not enough to cover the good things that have happened since the election. I found another set of ways why the country is better off since Trump came into office and thus, today we add to that list:
- According to a recent report by the Heritage Foundation:
- The country created 164,000 new jobs in April, slightly more than experts were expecting.
- The national unemployment rate is at its lowest level in over 17 years, 3.9%.
- In addition, positive employment records are being set for African-Americans, women, those without high school diplomas, and Hispanics across the country.
- A lot of the newly created jobs were in higher paying industries including manufacturing (+24,000 jobs), construction (+17,000 jobs), mining (+8,000 jobs), professional and business services (+54,000 jobs), and in health care (+24,000 jobs).
- This is in contrast to the type of jobs that were created during the Obama administration where those jobs were concentrated in lower paying industries like retail.
- The latest government estimates also revised upwards the number of jobs created in February and March by 30,000.
- And things could get better still since there is an estimated 6.6 million open jobs in the country today.
- The average hourly earnings is up $.67 in the past year as wage growth kicks in in addition to job growth.
- Retail sales increased again in April as consumer spending across the country picks up steam in light of the Trump tax cuts.
- April’s retail sales were 4.7% higher than April sales in 2017.
- Factory order growth is also gaining steam.
- Inflation continues to be under control despite high levels of job openings.
- The economy, which grew at a 2.3% annual rate in the first quarter is expected to grow at a 3.0% rate in the second quarter.
- The U.S. dollar hit a five month high against other currencies in April, indicating a very strong domestic economy.
- The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Trump tax cuts will create an incremental one million jobs in the next decade and push average GDP growth to 3%, a level that was never attained during the Obama administration.
- The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that the tax cuts will create long term domestic wage growth and attract foreign investment into the country contributing even more to domestic economic growth.
- Americans For Tax Reform organization estimates that at least four million American workers have received one time bonuses from their employers as a direct result of the Trump tax cuts.
- At least 530 American companies have announced one time bonuses, pay raises, and increased benefits for their employees as a result of the tax cuts and many utility companies have cut their rates for their customers.
- A typical American family of four earning $75,000 will pay $2,000 less in Federal income taxes in 2018 vs. 2017.
- Unlike the previous administration, the Trump administration was success in negotiating the release of three Americans held prisoner in North Korea.
- Trump has scheduled a historic meeting with the leader of North Korea in the second week, something that no President has ever been able to arrange.
- Trump successfully moved the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in Israel, something that Presidents going back to at least Bill Clinton promised to do but never were successful in doing.
- Trump is focusing on attacking and eliminating the violent MS -15 Central American gang members form the country.
- Trump donated his quarterly salary, something he does every quarter to needy Americans, to the Veterans Administration to help veterans get the medical and health care attention they deserve.
Another twenty five reasons to add to the previous 120 or so reasons why the first year and a few months 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, 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 145 accomplishments in a little more than a year is not too shabby despite many of you wanting both Trump and the country to fail.
