Trump Accomplished A Lot In 2017, But At What Cost? (Congress, legal, Clinton)

[reed067]

When President Trump was elected, conservatives weren't sure what they were going to get.
Some were worried that he wouldn't reliably adhere to their agenda. Others were turned off by his character, the tweets, the accusations of sexual misconduct. But there were those who pulled the lever for Trump anyway, figuring he would deliver more conservative policies than a President Hillary Clinton.




He continued: "Economic conservatives got tax cuts and some deregulation. Legal conservatives got judicial appointments and an executive branch more mindful of the limits of its policymaking authority. Social conservatives also benefited from the judicial appointments and welcomed Trump's policy of blocking international family-planning funding from going to organizations that promote or perform abortions."
In the end, Trump and a GOP-controlled Congress achieved "roughly what you would expect from a Republican president with a narrowly Republican Senate and a Republican House," said Ponnuru.

I expect 2018 and 2019 to be quite prosperous.

The reality is that Trump didn't accomplish much at all from the list of things he wanted to get done in his first year. The new tax policy will be personally beneficial to me based on my initial estimates.
