Trump Accomplishments Vs Obama
various | Me

Posted on 07/09/2017 5:41:27 AM PDT by mountn man

So...I'm on YouTube watching a video on Trump in Europe. A person made a comment about how great Obama was, and how little Trump has done, while having both houses of Congress. With what the MSM reports, you would think nothing gets done. But thanks to FR, we get some peeks into reality. I made a response to the person, and here are just a few things Trump has done, vs Obama in the same periods of time.


TOPICS: Reference
KEYWORDS: accomplishments; obama; trump
As of June 10th, Trump had signed 37 bills into law.
By the same time Obama had signed 24,
GWB 15
WJC 33
GHWB 35.

Trump has signed more legislation into law in his first 5 months, than any of his 4 prior predessesors.

Trump has nominated 21 people to federal courts, as of today, vs Obama nominating only 6 by the same date. In Obama's entire first year, he nominated 28 people as judges.
Obama nominated his first to the US Court Of Appeals, March 17.
Trump nominated Gorsuch to the USSC, February 1.
Obama nominated 2 more to the US Court Of Appeals on April 2.
On March 21, Trump nominated 1 to the USCA.
On May 8, Trump nominated 5 people to the USCA. He also nominated 2 to District Courts and 1 to Federal Claims Court.
Obama nominated Sotomayor to the USSC on June 1.
On June 7th, Trump nominated 2 more to the USCA. He also nominated 3 more for District Courts, and 3 more to United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, and 1 more to Federal Claims Court.
Obama, on June 19 nominated 2 more to the USCA.
For a total of 6 nominations by this date.
Trump, on June 12, nominated 1 to District Courts.
Trump, on June 19, nominated 1 to USCA.
For a total of 21 nominations to date.

Obama's first foreign leader to visit the WH, was Taro Aso, of Japan, on Feb 24...35 days from Obama's inauguration.
Trump had Theresa May at the WH on Jan 27, 7 days after inauguration.

By February 24, when Obama had his first dignitary, Trump had 5.

May on Jan,27.
Abe from Japan, Feb. 10-12
Trudeau from Canada, Feb. 13
Netanyahu from Israel, Feb. 15
Kucynski from Peru, Feb. 24

That's 5 foreign dignitaries for Trump, vs 1 for Obama.

At this point, I'm too lazy to look up visitors beyond Feb. 24.

According to CNBC, 600+ contractors are bidding on building the wall

Though Congress hasn't put forward an Obamacare alternative, Obamacare wasn't passed by the Senate until March 21, 2010. A year and 2 months after Obama was inaugurated. Obama signed it March 23.

In Trumps first 100 days, he signed 51 Executive Actions
Obama had signed 41.

Please feel free to add to this list.

Because all those non-Americans (and that include half of the people on our shores) care

ONLY about “Climate Change” or Paris Accord.

Therefore, Trump trip was a failure. To them.

Odumbo quickly slowed down once his handlers figured out he was totally incapable of doing things on his own. Although early in his term, Trump WILL NOT slowdown.

Not sure what the real number for parties(not state dinners) thrown by Mr. & Mrs. Obama at the White House are, but I seem to remember there being at least one or more a week for the first few years. Trump don’t party, just to party.

Whenever Trump signs an executive order I count it as two wins, one point for Trump and one less for zero

Further, I'd bet that none of Trump's guests have had to leave the White House through the back door where the trash is thrown.

Trump is just getting into his stride....

Expect the same steady pace....accompanied by various Tweets that send the MSM and dims off in wrong directions....and occasional unexpected events.

Right there in that pic are two of the worst RINOs in Senate. Both have wives in important positions, who are DEMOCRATS...HILLARY SUPPORTERS. WHY are we so stupid to allow them to continue! Speaker Ryan is the reason; along with McConnell, that Obamacare still exists.

If, we the people, (who have common sense) do not stand up and be counted...SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM will be the only solution and that is what O Drama wanted all the time.

Single Payer ends our ability to get operations and care actually needed, even if we pay for it ourselves. It is Canada, UK, and other oppressive systems where people wait years for a surgery, and usually die before getting it, unless they come to USA and get it done.

Yes, it’s cheaper and you cant’ use it anymore than Obamacare! Like those 72 virgins promised by ISIS, there may be 72 virgins in HELL, but Jesus said there is NO SEX in HEREAFTER...so what good is it?

Positive for the Republic vs. Negative?

As one person wrote, every Executive Order by Trump cancels one by Zero. It’s a double win.
