President Trump's first year was met with near-equal support and retaliation despite his impressive accomplishments. He has made an outstanding effort to follow through with each of his campaign promises.
Throughout his campaign, Trump promised to increase border protection, lower taxes, raise consumer confidence, lower the unemployment rate, repeal Obamacare, renegotiate trade deals, strengthen our military and law enforcement, enhance the quality of veteran support, and improve international relations.
In 2017, he approved the Keystone XL pipeline and opened the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for further research in environmental and energy development. He has persuaded NATO allies to contribute $12 billion toward unified security; appointed long-term conservative judges on the Supreme Court and federal appeals court; replaced the Affordable Care Act; raised consumer confidence; lowered the unemployment rate to 3.9%; extricated humanitarian workers from Egypt; installed measures against ISIS; and strengthened relationships with China, Japan, Russia, and the UK.
President Trump intends to put a series of federal safety net programs into place, increase infrastructure spending to $1 trillion, establish an immigration deal, and withdraw from the Paris climate agreement in 2020. In short, Trump has accomplished more in his sixteen months in office than what most presidents have in two terms. America thrives as our unemployment rate hits the lowest we have seen in over 45 years due to President Trump's efforts in producing over 2.4 million new jobs. Though he continues to be met with what is rapidly becoming seemingly unjustified hostility, he has truly seen through to his greatest promise of making America great again.
