They are saying he breaks the Guinness World Record in getting so much done in so little time. Can you think of another president that has done as much in this frame of time? If so...please do tell.
They? They who? Sounds like the fake news that trump talks about. Always saying "I hear" and "They say". Where is the proof?
Trumps tax policy looks out for billionaire CEO's like himself 14x more than workers.

Signed a Presidential Memorandum ordering the United States to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations and agreement
That trade deal removed 1,000's of tariffs from American goods in other countries, and agreed to America trading with fast growing Asian countries. Now those tariffs will remain and those Asian countries will seek other trading partners.
Signed a Presidential Memorandum to clear roadblocks to construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline Signed a Presidential Memorandum declaring that the Dakota Access Pipeline serves the national interest and initiating the process to complete construction
Signed legislation, House Joint Resolution 38, to block the burdensome Stream Protection Rule from causing further harm to the coal industry
That resolution does nothing to save or create jobs (it only increase profits for coal corporations and allows more corporate pollution to be placed in streams and rivers.)
Signed legislation, House Joint Resolution 41, to eliminate a costly regulation that threatened to put domestic extraction companies and their employees at an unfair disadvantage
That resolution does not effect jobs. Instead it abolished anti-corruption disclosure laws placed on energy corporations.

Trump's immigration policies will have disastrous effects on the American economy.
"Trump’s order brought with it a swift decline in the number of worldwide tourists and travelers looking to visit the United States."
"Online booking websites reported that flight searches from international points of origin to the United States were down anywhere from 6 percent to 17 percent since Trump signed the executive order on Jan. 27."
"International visitors spent $246 billion in the U.S. in 2016," "This exceeds the value of exports of autos ($152 billion), agriculture ($137 billion), and petroleum products ($97 billion)."
And Trump's travel ban will have a disastrous impact on America's tech economy.
"24.3 percent of U.S. engineering and technology start-up companies and 43.9 percent of those based in Silicon Valley were founded by immigrants."
"Immigrants contributed to more than 60 percent of the patent filings at innovative companies such as Qualcomm, Merck, General Electric and Cisco Systems. And surprisingly, more than 40 percent of the international patent applications filed by the U.S. government had foreign-national authors."
"Study after study has found that immigrants are more likely to start job-creating businesses, not only in tech but across the economy. In 2014, 20 percent of the Inc. 500 companies had immigrant founders."
"Clearly, blocking the path of immigrants into the United States cuts off the exact economic growth serum that has made America great. Creating an atmosphere in which immigrants are fearful and uncertain about their future will reduce their incentives to open businesses here and stay."
Getting Government Out of the Way: President Trump understands that excessive regulations stifle job-creation and harm our businesses.
Regulations do increase the cost of goods, but they also keep our products safe and our air and water clean. And when republican politicians talk about regulations its for the benefit of large corporations (not the benefit of regular Americans and our environment.)
And as an American I concede that Trump has some good ideas like his trade tariffs. But the corporate republicans in Washington have already said they will not support Trumps tariffs. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/05/u...rump.html?_r=0
And working with republicans Trump will leave America a financial wreck for the future. Trumps trillions of dollars in supply side tax cuts for the richest 1% of Americans will decrease our governments revenues by trillions of dollars. https://www.forbes.com/sites/janetno.../#2ca59efd65b9
Bottom line is that Trump will raise our national debt to 105%-145% of GDP (when Hillary Clinton would have raised our debt to 85%-95% of GDP.)
Jump starting Job Creation: President Trump is looking out for American workers that Washington has left behind.

Put in place a hiring freeze for Federal civilian employees to stop the growth of a bloated government
He has signed executive orders just like every other president did when they took office. But I did take note of the the 700 million you think he is saving us. Let me ask you. How do you feel about the $500,000 a day the taxpayers are spending on keeping Meliana safe in New York. In one month Trump has spent almost as much as Obama spent in one year by going to his Florida home every weekend. Until you tell me how we are going to pay for this, then I could less what he has done. If he really cared, he would stop spending our money and stay at the white house or go to camp david.
The Left always argues that Republican want to poison the water and the air. It's nothing but propaganda. Has the water been proven to be polluted? Has it been tested? Of course, the coal companies can't wait to dump toxins into the streams. Their evil capitalists. Right?
If Leftists had their way, we'd still be riding in buggies pulled by horses, like the Amish. And we'd be riding bicycles too. We wouldn't have computers, and we'd be growing pest infested crops without pesticides, and producing far less food as a result. Then you would have a real reason to complain about "over population" because we wouldn't be able to produce enough food.
Forget meat. We wouldn't be allowed to raise animals for meat, because slaughtering animals is cruel. Besides, cattle farts are contributing to "global warming."
And we'd be relying on a fireplace for heat, because we don't want to burn heating oil. But we'd be using trees, so wood would be rationed.
We would have to find a substitute for wood in construction (using trees, again). And we would have to go back to candles for lighting (electricity depends largely on those bad fossil fuels. Can't have hydro power, because we can't dam the streams ...fish migration.
We might have to return to living in mud huts.
Nothing humans do pleases the Left. We should all commit suicide so that the animals and plants can have their world back.
You guys are the ones trying to bring dead industries back to life such as coal mining and factories. You guys are the ones who would have been trying to keep the horse and buggy, not leftists.

Come, natalie. He had to find money to fund his lifestyle someplace.
THAT'S what that 700 million was for.
Be interesting to see what happens when he finds out how much less he'll get to spend when he lowers taxes on high earners.

The argument is that "action" is not "achievement". It's not complicated.
And I agree.
A philosopher said, "Don't mistake motion for accomplishment". A rocking-horse can have motion. This would be a world-record that couldn't be broken, because if those things actually happened, this country and maybe the whole world, would be toast.
