    Year One List: 81 major Trump achievements, 11 Obama legacy items repealed

    With the passage of the GOP tax bill this week, the Trump administration has scored 81 major achievements in its first year, making good on campaign promises to provide significant tax cuts, boost U.S. energy production, and restore respect to the United States, according to the White House.

    And along the way, President Trump even outdid his own expectations and slashed at least 11 major legacy items of former President Barack Obama, including cracking down on the open border, slowing recognition of communist Cuba and effectively killing Obamacare by ending the mandate that everyone have health insurance or face a tax.

    According to the White House, the 81 accomplishments are in 12 major categories and include well over 100 other minor achievements.

    The unofficial list helps to counter the impression in the mainstream media and among congressional Democrats that outside the approval of Supreme Court Neil Gorsuch and passage of the tax reform bill little was done.

    Administrations typically tout their achievements broadly at the end of each year, but Trump plans to list jobs added, regulations killed, foreign policy victories won, and moves to help veterans and even drug addicts.

    And in a sign of support for conservatives, the White House also is highlighting achievements for the pro-life community.

    Below are the 12 categories and 81 wins cited by the White House.

    Jobs and the economy

    • Passage of the tax reform bill providing $5.5 billion in cuts and repealing the Obamacare mandate.
    • Increase of the GDP above 3 percent.
    • Creation of 1.7 million new jobs, cutting unemployment to 4.1 percent.
    • Saw the Dow Jones reach record highs.
    • A rebound in economic confidence to a 17-year high.
    • A new executive order to boost apprenticeships.
    • A move to boost computer sciences in Education Department programs.
    • Prioritizing women-owned businesses for some $500 million in SBA loans.


    Killing job-stifling regulations

    I agree Quest. I shared it as well. I’ll wait and see how many positive responses I receive from my more “tolerant” FB friends. Haha
    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.
