What did Trump do in the past 3.5 years other than corporate tax cut?

I voted for Trump in 2016, but I don’t think I will vote for him this year.

1. He couldn’t fix Obamacare. He promised comprehensive healthcare plan includes pre-existing condition, but nothing worked out.
2. Couldn’t protect American Jobs specially high-tech jobs.(h1b, H4EAD)
3. Did nothing against offshoring.
4. Couldn’t bring back manufacturing jobs from China

Trumps greatest achievement was beating Hillary and pulling America into a rest stop off the highway to hell the Dems had us on and vow to put us back on.

Trump has done his best to fulfill his campaign pledges and has done well despite the unprecedented push back from the Dems that hate him with a passion.



I think Trump has done well at the border and with trade. The Left predicted doom and gloom from an exploding economy to nuclear war if he was elected and none of it has happened. The economy is actually doing very well with the lowest unemployment in decades. America is strong again.



If you can look past all the negativity that the Dems and their media dump on us 24/7 I think you will see that most of us are better off with Trump then not.



If not Trump then who will you vote for?

If that is your synopsis of all that Trump has not done (if you really voted for him in 2016), then you have not been keeping score properly.
Just the fact he has gotten a bunch of federal judges (with original intent as their core philosophy) on the bench is a HUGE accomplishment.

I am not going to list everything he has done (not all of which I may agree with), but here is Hannity listing a bunch of stuff

You may or may not like all of it, but that is some list in comparison with yours. Just imagine all he could do if not being constantly hounded by the MSM and Democrats trying to resist him at every turn.

I feel economy is doing well because of lower interest rate and stock buyback.

No comprehensive health care plan, and no signs of any on the horizon. If the Trump administration prevails in the current ACA court battle, protection for pre-existing conditions will be gone.

Despite stealing money from the military budget to build his wall, there does not appear to be much progress on that front.

No signs that the payday loan tax giveaway to corporations and the wealthy will bring about the promised 5% to 6% GDP growth. Obama administration turned the economy around and got the the longest run of job and economic growth underway. Things stayed on track for a time but appear to be slowing down over the past year. Federal deficit has doubled. DOW dropped a 1,000 points yesterday.

For all the bragging about getting rid of regulations that protect our water and air from contamination, there is no evidence that this has increased manufacturing.

In spite of all bragging about all the progress made in the endless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, more soldiers were just sent over.

Not only is denuclearization not happening with North Korea, the NK leader won't even meet with Trump until he gets more than he has in the past -- a free holiday, photo op with POTUS, and Trump stopping the joint U.S./South Korean military training exercises.

Relationships with Iran is a hot mess.

Tariff war with China has resulted in U.S. farmers losing a major soybean market. Bailouts for soybean farmers are in the billions with no end in sight.

Despite assuring Americans that he will protect Social Security, Medicate, and Medicaid, Trump's recent budget had huge cuts to all three.

Quite a bit has happened over the past 3.5 years. Little of it has been positive.

Not sure what state you live in, but here in MI, we seem to be doing good. Commercial and residential building is up, I'm seeing help wanted signs , not just in low wage jobs but at machine shops. Several new manufacturing plants have gone or are going up. Home values are up, interest rates down.
I don't care if people don't think this is due to Trump, it could be Mickey Mouses fault for all I care. I'm just happy to see this state doing good again.

Here are just a few things :

He took a step in the right direction with Jared's efforts towards criminal justice reform with the First Step Act and he signed the GOP tax cut. I don't consider blowing a trillion dollar hole in the deficit to fund corporate stock buybacks an achievement, but he did do it.

Democrats fight him on everything he does and then afterwards claims he didn’t do anything. Amazing.

Cant stand Trump but I will credit:

Fewer wars of choice and less escalation.
Talks to that little turd in NK. Yes it is a game to NK, but a less obnoxious NK is better.
I will credit less twitter stupidity of late.
