Trump did a lot of good things and with the entire swamp and the media fighting him from the moment he took office. But his most important accomplishment was keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House.

Obama: none.

Thanks for the positivity! The only one I might dispute is that Trump gave us energy independence, but I will the grant you the rest

Obama gave us Trump. Probably his only positive accomplishment.

You're really, really susceptible to bullshot from politicians. What else happened in 2012? That's all I have to say about that.

Do you realize what this is? This is the Executive Branch explicitly telling the Legislative Branch to **** off. The laws their constituents wanted and that they voted on are being singled out and ignored for political reasons. So much for "our democracy," eh?

Thanks, I was struggling to find one positive accomplishment of his disaster of an administration. Best I could come up with is he's not as bad as Biden.

Trump:
"Leading U.S. to a level of energy independence (exporting more oil than importing for the first time in 70 years), allowing international policy decisions to be made with less regard to how an oil nation we once relied on would respond.
Drastic reduction in regulations, opening the door for entrepreneurs and businesses to succeed, expand, and hire more people. According to the Trump administration, they promised to eliminate two regulations for every new one, but actually wound up eliminating 8 old regulations for every 1 new regulation adopted, equating into an extra $3,100 a year for the average American household."

Obama: increased racism
