Today marks 2 years since Donald J. Trump was sworn in as our President. To commemorate this anniversary, the White House has published a list of this Administration's most noteworthy accomplishments.
Here is an excerpt from the ECONOMIC accomplishments section:
"Together, we are building a safe, strong, and proud America." Donald J. Trump President of the United States
IGNITING A HISTORIC ECONOMIC BOOM: President Trump’s pro-growth policies are unleashing economic growth and providing opportunities to workers across the country.
Due to President Trump’s pro-growth policies, real gross domestic product (GDP) growth exceeded 3 percent over the last four quarters.
Real GDP grew at annual rates of 3.4 percent in the third quarter of 2018 and 4.2 percent in the second quarter.
More than 5 million jobs have been created since President Trump’s election and the unemployment rate remains below 4 percent.
This is the eighth time this year that the unemployment rate has been below 4 percent.
Prior to this year, the unemployment rate had fallen below 4 percent only five times since 1970.
The unemployment rate for African Americans in May fell to 5.9 percent, which is the lowest rate on record.
Asian and Hispanic-American unemployment rates have reached record lows this year.
Initial weekly jobless claims have hit a nearly 50-year low under President Trump.
Under President Trump, job openings outnumber the unemployed for the first time on record.
Recently, more than two-thirds of Americans rated “now” as a good time to find a quality job, tying a record high in a poll by Gallup.
Americans are seeing more money in their pockets thanks to the booming economy.
In recent months, workers have seen their largest nominal year over year wage growth in nearly a decade.
In 2017, real median household income rose to a post-recession high.
President Trump’s policies are helping to lift Americans out of poverty.
African-American and Hispanic-American poverty rates reached record lows of 21.2 percent and 18.3 percent, respectively, in 2017.
Since the election, 4.6 million Americans have been lifted off of food stamps.
Consumer confidence has soared under President Trump, recently reaching an 18-year high.
President Trump is delivering on his promise to bring back American manufacturing.
The National Association of Manufacturers’ Outlook Index had the highest annual average in its history over the past year.
Manufacturing added 284,000 jobs in 2018, the most added in a year since 1997.
Small Business optimism jumped to a record high under President Trump, according to a survey by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).
The NFIB’s Small Business Optimism Index broke a 35-year record in August.
President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law, ushering in the largest package of tax cuts and reforms in American history.
These tax cuts are delivering real results for American families and workers.
More than 6 million workers received tax cut bonuses and benefits.
More than 100 utility companies have announced lower rates.
President Trump is ensuring American workers receive the training and education they need to compete in today’s economy.
President Trump signed an executive order establishing the National Council for the American worker.
More than 185 companies and associations have signed our “Pledge to America’s Workers,” promising more than 6.4 million new training and career opportunities.
The President signed legislation that reauthorized the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, making more than $1 billion available for career education programs.
President Trump has prioritized the economic empowerment of women.
The women’s unemployment rate recently reached its lowest rate in 65 years.
The Small Business Administration lent approximately $500 million more in capital to women-owned businesses in 2017 compared to 2016.
The Administration helped launch the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative, which could leverage more than $1 billion to support women entrepreneurs.

Considering that Donald J. Trump is the first modern U.S. President to NOT have ANY prior government experience, and has 90% of the News Media against him 24/7 since day #1, his accomplishments are ALL THE MORE AMAZING. More than what most Administrations deliver after 2 Terms, and we're only 50% through President Trump's 1st Term! I attribute his success to Divine Guidance and Intervention, when/where required.
America and Americans deserve THE VERY BEST..and we've got it!
I believe the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers are currently building the wall. So the government shutdown is just a watch what this hand is doing while the other hand is working behind the scenes.
I wish President Trump would point out the following. We spent an average of 100 Billion in Afghanistan every year since 2001. We spent an average of 50 Billion in Syria since 2011. Yet the Democrats are unwilling to spend 5 billion to protect our own borders. Simply astounding....
Now if he could go after the criminals and the web censorship, then that would be great. In any event, I am very happy with President Trump. He was a much better choice than Hillary. Can you imagine what it would be like under Hillary?
I give President Trump an A plus for the first two years. He has done more than any other President I can recall in 2 years, than they have in 8 years. Plus he has been under full attack from the Deep State, the media, Hollywood and Academia. I think he is competing with George Washington? We need more Presidents like him. I love how he stands up to the Deep State, the media, Hollywood and Academia.
Go President Trump!!!

Just try to imagine how much further we could have been along in the last two years on the economy, trade, immigration reform, and foreign policy, etc, if the ‘rats weren’t seditiously foot-dragging and sabotaging every pro-American effort.
Any RIF’d federal employee will find MEANINGFUL work. Heh heh.
For a forum called Above Politics they sure post a lot of politics.
You praise Democrats excessively. The GOP dragged their feet so much they plowed a path right out of House majority.
Imagine Trump’s budget proposal actually passing. The size of government would be smaller and no deficit for the year. Speaker Ryan took one look at the budget, shrugged his shoulders, and tossed the budget into the trash.
The voters decided if they were going to get Democrat spending they might as well vote Democrat.
Is that a Cole painting in the background? Sure looks like it.
I wish more people in power would pose that question every day.
President Trump’s greatest accomplishments are his first and second picks for the Supreme Court. Everything else, is Winning. What makes his picks so great? They could have been Hillary’s picks...
“Just try to imagine how much further we could have been along in the last two years on the economy, trade, immigration reform, and foreign policy, etc, if the ‘rats weren’t seditiously foot-dragging and sabotaging every pro-American effort.”
Yes, imagine. The wall half done, illegals largely deported, illegal-employing companies paying big fines, energy production up and prices down more, welfare cut and ex-receivers put to work in those newly available entry-level jobs, faggots out of our military, DoEd gone, FBI and DOJ purged of rats, Congress hush money spenders publicly listed, and the Clintons on trial.
Imagine.
Oh, wait...
That could have happened if RINOs had supported Trump while the majority...
And yet the dumb ass voters gave the House to the democrats
Makes you want to cry

Still not enough for the hoards of Never-Trumpers here at FR. They were out squawking loud and clear on several posts yesterday. Even had one tell me that it would have been the same if Jeb had been elected.
