I voted for the man, thought we could "shake things up" and boy did he do that. But for me the problem is that he hasn't come through on any of his promises at all.
- very little change to immigration.
- Do we have a wall?
- Infastructure?
- health insurance?
None of it... we have none of it.
But these have been some of the worse years of my life... with almost every year having some epic drama to wade through.
- attacking Syria
- Replacing staff left and right.
- the drama with North Korea
- the drama shutting down the government?
- Coronavirus.
This last one is the end. Not only was Trump completely out to lunch (and still is) but he seem to not even be supporting the people who elected him. He is acting like a liberal at the same time that they do nothing but attack him. He clearly doesn't have a leadership bone in his body. I even suspect this corona virus was a way for China to get out from under the "trade war" -- and probably wouldn't have ben released if Trump wasn't so obvious about his plans to put them under pressure.
In any event, I am done. He has brought this country to absolute ruin in 4 years. I don't like Biden but maybe I can get back to some semblance of life.
It’s tough to pick only 10 accomplishments from such an extraordinary year, but here are just a few of the biggest things President Donald J. Trump has gotten done for the American people in 2019:
The Trump Boom is going strong. The unemployment rate recently hit its lowest mark in 50 years. All told, since President Trump’s election, our economy has added more than 7 million jobs—over half a million in manufacturing alone.
The stock market keeps breaking records: The Dow Jones and S&P 500 hit record closes again on Friday.
The working class is thriving, as are previously forgotten communities. Wages are now rising the fastest for low-income workers, and poverty rates for African Americans and Hispanic Americans have reached all-time lows.
Accountable government is back. Since taking office, President Trump has rolled back nearly 8 regulations for every new one, saving American taxpayers more than $50 billion in the process—with bigger savings still to come.
Better trade deals are putting America back in the driver’s seat. Congress approved President Trump’s USMCA this month—a huge win for U.S. workers, farmers, and manufacturers that will create 176,000 new jobs.
Trade with China, in particular, is about to get a whole lot fairer. As part of a historic “phase 1” deal, Beijing has agreed to structural reforms in its trade practices and to make substantial purchases of American agricultural products.
Securing the border is paying off and making our country safer. President Trump struck new agreements with Mexico and Central American countries this year to help stop the flood of illegal immigration. Thanks to this swift action, border apprehensions fell by more than 70 percent from May to November.
On health care, President Trump is fighting to give our patients the best system on Earth. While Democrats try to take away choice, the President’s focus on affordability led to the largest year-over-year drop in drug prices ever recorded.
American interests are taking center stage abroad. In just one example: After years of not paying their fair share, NATO Allies will have increased defense spending by $130 billion by the end of next year.
Our great military took out the world’s top terrorist in October. (Meet Conan, the hero dog who helped them do it!) Our troops are now getting the support they deserve. President Trump recently signed the National Defense Authorization Act for the 2020 fiscal year, which includes the biggest pay raise for our military in a decade.

We either had deep state RINOS, deepstate long established poloiticians like Hillary Clinton, or Trump who has all of the deep state attacking him. He has already done what I wanted him to do. Put moderate and conservative judges into the supreme court. It' s a start.
That's what happens when you have essentially a game show host in charge. Time for the American People to chant "you're fired" and cancel the show.
No one is going to hear Sleepy Joe chant that in his basement !!!
If Sleepy Joe did chant it people would know he's just talking in his sleep !!! Something a lot of people do that no one really pays much attention to !!!
If Trump had Obamas press.Trump would be thought of as in the top 5 US Presidents.
Exactly.

No President is perfect, no president waves a magic wand and everything comes together as promised.
Trump has accomplished a helluva lot, and mixed up things in the swamp for the better. He has made many people see the fake news networks misleading people, how much money the US loses to countries and pays to countries all over the world, and how much countries take advantage of the US.
I don't vote based on feelings or hurt, or based on promises given or not. I vote based on the person's ability to get a job done, in the best interest of the US and its citizens. Things take time--especially with half of the US Congress disliking Trump.
At this time, Trump is really the only candidate who can get things done. Biden is essentially dementia man walking. Zero confidence in that guy.

I'll never understand it, especially in a country so increasingly opposed to religion, this deification thing.
The world's most dangerous religion - statism.
