Year One List: 81 major Trump achievements, 11 Obama legacy items repealed
Washington Examiner ^ | Dec 21, 2017 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 12/21/2017 11:16:23 AM PST by GonzoII

With the passage of the GOP tax bill this week, the Trump administration has scored 81 major achievements in its first year, making good on campaign promises to provide significant tax cuts, boost U.S. energy production, and restore respect to the United States, according to the White House.

And along the way, President Trump even outdid his own expectations and slashed at least 11 major legacy items of former President Barack Obama, including cracking down on the open border, slowing recognition of communist Cuba and effectively killing Obamacare by ending the mandate that everyone have health insurance or face a tax.

According to the White House, the 81 accomplishments are in 12 major categories and include well over 100 other minor achievements.

The unofficial list helps to counter the impression in the mainstream media and among congressional Democrats that outside the approval of Supreme Court Neil Gorsuch and passage of the tax reform bill little was done.

Yeah, well not enough. It’s like saying your greatest achievement is having a Victoria’s Secret supermodel for a GF but you cant go “all the way” with her so it’s useless. I’m still waiting for the damn wall.

Doesn’t the Tax Bill also open up ANWR for drilling? Shouldn’t that be listed as a win under the Energy Dominance category, and therefore be an 82nd win?

according to the White House.

That phrase used to set off my B/S alarms but I now find I am less cynical with this president.

2nd: repealing Kenyan-care. That in itself is a huge accomplishment, and one that only an expert games player could have achieved.

Trump knew even the Rats wanted to repeal that Obamanation, but no one wanted to be visibly on record. So, by rescinding the mandate, everyone is happy: votes & politicians.

Now, how other than Trump would be able to correctly assess and read those desires? Who else would have crafted such a tactic, but perhaps more importantly, kept it secret until the deal had been done?

Now, everyone on both sides of the aisle have suitable cover for repeal. Without the subsidy, the insurance companies will be calling after the New year to alter the full body of the law. Everyone will get to shrug and say their hands are tied. The perfect excuse every politician loves: it's not our fault.

Only Trump, and Trump alone, had the negotiating experience and deal making skills to recognize what people wanted, and gave it to them without exposure.
