- Almost 4 million jobs created since election.

Is this proportional though? The population is growing. It would make sense that we would have the most Americans employed now, even without Trump. Also, jobs don't matter so much as income and wealth.
- We have created more than 400,000 manufacturing jobs since my election.
- Manufacturing jobs growing at the fastest rate in more than THREE DECADES.
What has Trump done about automation? How long are these jobs going to last?
Almost 3.9 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps since the election
Forced, or they just got more money?
As for employment, again, I would argue that what matters more is income and wealth. Where are the statistics on minority wealth in America? Wage? Unemployment statistics aren't impressive if most that are employed are working two jobs and barely getting by.
Signed the biggest package of tax cuts and reforms in history. After tax cuts, over $300 billion poured back in to the U.S. in the first quarter alone.
Tax cuts for the wealthy. The working class will get tax increases jusssst after this election. How convenient.
- Helped win U.S. bid for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
- Helped win U.S.-Mexico-Canada’s united bid for 2026 World Cup.
*eyeroll*. How much did Trump really do here. Also, hosting the World Cup might not actually be good for America.
- Opened ANWR and approved Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines.
- Record number of regulations eliminated.
- Enacted regulatory relief for community banks and credit unions.
I see this as a negative, not a positive. Also, the Keystone pipeline leaked, so good job there. "We reduced regulations" isn't a positive. You would have to win the argument that every one of the regulations he removed were bad, and that isn't true.
My Administration is providing more affordable healthcare options for Americans through association health plans and short-term duration plans.
lol, Americans disagree.
Increased our coal exports by 60 percent; U.S. oil production recently reached all-time high.
A bad thing. Not only for the environment, but for coal workers who are being used and lied to. The reality is that coal is a declining industry, and supporting coal production is delaying the inevitable. Democrats are at least honest and working towards long term solutions.
Withdrew the United States from the job-killing Paris Climate Accord.
Horrible decision. The PCA is an absolute positive for everyone involved. Trump straight up lied about the PCA.
Secured record $700 billion in military funding; $716 billion next year.
"wE cAn'T aFfOrD sOcIaL pRoGrAmS"
I HATE rampant military spending.
Process has begun to make the Space Force the 6th branch of the Armed Forces.
Just... why? Why are we wasting money on this?
Withdrew from the horrible, one-sided Iran Deal.
How is that working out for you?
Protecting Americans from terrorists with the Travel Ban
Wow, just wow. Fun stat: Of all the terrorists who perpetrated 9/11, NONE came from countries that Trump banned travel from.
Concluded a historic U.S.-Mexico Trade Deal to replace NAFTA. And negotiations with Canada are underway as we speak.
Mild improvement, at best.
- Imposed tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum to protect our national security.
- Imposed tariffs on China in response to China’s forced technology transfer, intellectual property theft, and their chronically abusive trade practices.
Lol, and hurt American farmers. Great job!
- Improved vetting and screening for refugees, and switched focus to overseas resettlement.
- We have begun BUILDING THE WALL. Republicans want STRONG BORDERS and NO CRIME. Democrats want OPEN BORDERS which equals MASSIVE CRIME.
Ok, so this actually hurts America, and not just for moral reasons. I mean, yes, we shouldn't put kids in cages, but these claims are straight up wrong.
1. Refugees actually commit less crimes proportionally than natural born citizens.
2. Refugees are good for the economy, as numerous studies have shown.
3. The wall will be ineffective, and a waste of money.
4. Democrats don't want open borders, and generally democrats want to discourage illegal immigration.
