Year One List: 81 major Trump achievements, 11 Obama legacy items repealed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.

Ya. Obamacare is destroying us financially. Being free agents after it is repealed will help us chose the best plan. Not the Obama and the Dems and the Feds are forcing us to buy.

After the bill is signed how long before the repeal happens. We are hanging by our fingertips and the sooner the better.

I wonder how the insurance companies will do? Will there be plans available outside of government mandate?

Also, I dare the Democrats to blame Trump for getting rid of the part of Obamacare that FORCED us and people like us into bankruptcy.

First up in 2018, is immigration.

Start building The Wall. Deal with the DACA thing once and for all. Stop the chain immigration. Continue to deport the ner-do-wells and criminals already in the country illegally.

Hammer on the sanctuary cities to cough up their illegals and criminals. Jail multiple offenders. Better yet, jail some politicians and local authorities who are blatantly violating federal laws.

And you know he's going to keep dismantling Obama's legacy and keep eliminating programs that hold America back.

If Trump does nothing else, that will be a successful year.

The best thing about this is how many years it will take the next Democrat president to put everything back the way Obama left it.

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.

Patience, dear boy. He has three more years, minimum, before leaving office. Destroying ObamaCare and reworking the tax code had to come first so that building the Wall could be done with some of the cost savings.

As for the Victoria's Secret supermodel, leave her under my tree and I'll let some vintage vino and some gentle persuasion do the rest.

Yes, my bad. I was used to 8 years of misery and suffering that I forgot to smell the roses after a victory. Please forgive my rant ;)

AND, I mean ALL of them....every Government employee must take a lie detector test and pass to keep the job...Fire them all and then hire loyal employees.

Military also? Traders? You mean traitors? Do we have enough people to do that many tests without shutting down the entire government? Lie detectors can be fooled, you know.

I have to say I am very impressed with Trump. He has forced the Commies by a step or two. That hasn’t happened since Reagan.

STEP 2:

Deport, deport, and deport some more.

Build the wall.

Audit to see if citizenship has been improperly granted to unqualified applicants in the last 10 years. If so, revoke citizenship and deport.

Mandate e-verify everywhere.

End the visa lottery, refugee immigration, and daisy-chain, family immigration.

Pass Cotton/Perdue’s merit immigration bill.

Drastically cut the number of people who can immigrate yearly.

Put a huge task force on visa overstays. Kick the overstayers out of the country and forever bar them from re-entry.

After getting 2 or 3 more Trump appointees on the SC, bring suit to establish that there is no “birthright” citizenship just because an illegal alien snuck in the country and dropped a baby.

Deport, deport, deport.

All I see are my taxes going up and Hillary, Holder and all the rest walking around free.

This tax bill cost his reelection and the GOP majority in Congress in 2018.

Time to face reality.

Pretty soon it may be like he (obama) never happened, except for the $10T extra debt, of course.

effectively killing Obamacare by ending the mandate that everyone have health insurance or face a tax.

Thats a goddamned lie.

My medical deductible is still$6,800 , up from $500 before Obamacare.

Killing the mandate does NOTHING to fix that.

No traders? None? Stocks, bonds, stuff on Craigslist? Wow. Well for one I think thats overly harsh. I really think excluding traders from the Government service would be counterproductive.
