Knowing that his presidency will end on January 20, I would have expected Donald Trump to crow about his accomplishments. There are many things that are positive accomplishments that he can point to and they ought to pointed out to historians and others who criticized his administration.
The most important was brining a covid-19 vaccine into use in less than one year. Of course it was the scientists who found the medication but it was Mr. Trump who provided the funding to make it happen. Strangely he was not to be seen as the first vaccination were given at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C.
Trump has battled the military in his desire to bring our troops home from Afghanistan. That never ending war has resulted in 2,372 U.S. military deaths and 20,320 American servicemembers have also been wounded in action during the war.
Previous administrations have not confronted China’s theft of our technology and they have taken thousands of American jobs. The tariffs Trump imposed on China was good first step in supporting America’s manufacturing sector.
Rocket Man has come to understand that the United States will take military action if necessary to counter North Korea’s nuclear weapons development.
Improved relations between Israel and it Muslim neighbors has reduced the chance of war in the Middle East was all brought about by negotiations prompted by the United States.
If it has not been for the virus the unemployment rate would still be at 3.5%. His adjustment to tax rates has been a boon to business and has raised the Dow Jones and S&P 500 to its highest value in history,
If I was Donald Trump I would be advertising all of his administrations accomplishments. Sadly, instead, he has chosen to try to overturn America’s greatest gift to the world. Democracy. So his effort to destroy America’s democracy will likely be his legacy.
