Trump: Three Things Done Right Since Being Elected

Trump has done a few big league things, since being elected.

Trump: Three Things Done Right Since Being Elected
ABC6

I've been really critical of Donald Trump, from the primaries, to his Presidential campaign, to his current actions since becoming the President-Elect.

That being said, I don't think everything has been bad - and certainly not as bad as MSNBC and the hard left would have you believe. I'll give you three times Donald Trump has been right, and there are more.

1. Nikki Haley Selected as Ambassador to U.N.

Haley's selection as Ambassador to the U.N. brought a bevy of different opinions, particularly on the right side of the spectrum - as Trump fanatics cringed at the pick, while conservatives celebrated the pick.

Haley is a strong conservative, and is certainly not afraid to call out conservatives who are liberal on matters. She called out Marco Rubio on his amnesty support. She called out Jeb Bush on his support of Common Core.

She's also STRONGLY pro-Israel, a huge plus around conservative circles. As Governor of South Carolina, Haley signed legislation prohibiting the state to contract companies that were boycotting Israel.

2. Fidel Castro

First, let me be absolutely clear. In no way, shape, or form should the life of Fidel Castro be celebrated. Castro was one of the most vicious leaders, subjecting citizens of Cuba to jail, torture, and death - for not believing the same things as him. Several liberals have come to the defense of Castro since his passing, marking him as a great man who did great things for Cuba.

Check this quick clip from NBC6 in Miami, on how CUBANS feel about Castro.


Donald Trump came out swiftly with a tweet (of course,) indicating his knowledge of Castro passing. He then followed up with a statement that painted Castro exactly as he was;

"Fidel Castro's legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.'

Trump hit the nail on the head, in his full statement.

3. Det. Benjamin Marconi

When Officer Benjamin Marconi was ambushed, in his car, most Americans took a second to read and learn who this officer was. In turbulent times between officers and non-officers, ambushes of officers have spiked.

That could have been the end of what we knew about the officer, in addition to what was to follow. Until Marconi's son, Dane, posted a status on Facebook.

He had just ended a call with President-Elect, Donald Trump. Trump expressed his condolences, but beyond that, we're not sure what was said. Trump's camp has elaborated, and it doesn't appear they will.

Unfortunately, in these times, the appreciation for good police officers is at a low. As leaders of this country, I wish more politicians would make calls to families and denounce senseless violence, such as this.

Trump, you did good.


Trump has been critiqued from every angle possible, which in the position he is assuming, is both fair and normal. Generally speaking, Trump has been tame as the President-Elect, but has had some questionable business moves that he will need to shore up before Inauguration.

In all of the critique out there, Trump did very well on these three things.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation is notorious for her "I don't care" attitude. She speaks her mind without caring what anyone thinks of her.

And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
