President Trump’s Accomplishments After Three Years

President Trump’s Accomplishments After Three Years

I feel that it’s important to put facts out there that can be referenced, particularly in view of the 90% negative and many times, false, rhetoric being spewed by our biased mainstream media about President Trump.  Trump is continually accused of RACISM!, which he is not racist.  He is never given credit for his accomplishments, which are many.  This is about what Trump has accomplished in his first three years.

Here in one place is a list of President Trump’s accomplishment during the first three years of his term.  This was obviously compiled and written by an unabashed Trump supporter.  Also, This is before the Covid-19 pandemic, the country’s societal and economic shutdown, the George Floyd riots and our continuing resurgence.
