Re: Trump Accomplishments
And more from G1s
Quote:
In tandem with the regulatory rollback, Trump’s goal of boosting America’s natural resource extraction industries has been largely successful. There is no broad-based revival of the coal industry, but*employment in coal mining has stabilized and is rising slightly*in a reversal of recent trends. American oil output has soared to the point where*net imports of crude oil and petroleum products*are at their lowest level in generations and the country is likely to become a net exporter in the near future. Natural gas output, meanwhile, has*soared to record highs

And also
Quote:
Beyond cutting rates, Trump has also reshaped the tax code in important ways. By substantially increasing the standard deduction, TCJA has reduced the number of families who itemize tax deductions and thus, in effect, made all deductions less valuable and economically important. Pairing this with a reduction in the amount of home mortgage interest that is eligible for tax deductibility has, in particular, narrowed the scope of the mortgage interest tax deduction — long seen as a sacred cow of the tax code — and done so without notably disrupting the real estate market... *But the reshaping of the deductions landscape is likely to be a somewhat enduring, and arguably progressive, part of his legacy.

And
Quote:
As*Vox’s Nicole Narea has detailed, for example, the Trump administration “built up, layer by layer, a series of impediments in Central America, at the border, in detention centers, and in the immigration courts that have made obtaining asylum nearly impossible.”
|
And finally
Quote:
Trump has seen federal judges*appointed and confirmed at a record rate. He’s put 46 Circuit Court judges on the bench in three years compared to 55 across eight years of Obama, meaning a bit over a quarter of appeals court judges are now Trump appointees.*

So while dems scream and moan in literal hysterics over trumped up charges, Trump amd the Republican Senate have been working on the agenda they campaigned on.
Thanks Vox
