Promises Made and Kept, Pt. 2
I covered the Veterans, Tax Cuts and Jobs, Immigration,
and National Security and Defense.
This week I will address Trade and Foreign Policy, Law
and Justice, Regulations, and Energy and the Environment, and
more if I have room.
**Trade & Foreign Policy Get the US back in control
Countries were dumping substandard steel and aluminum that
was weakening our ability to produce our own so he imposed large
global tariffs. This enabled us to re-open closed mills, create
jobs and increase quantity and quality.
He withdrew us from TPP and rolled back Obama's bad deal with
Cuba and put sanctions on Cuba.
He got rid of NAFTA and created a much better USMCA that let
us collect tariffs and opened new markets for our farmers and
manufacturing. Small businesses have flourished.
Then he spread tariffs to other countries that brought some
industries back.
He litigated with the WTO and forced them to change and
comply with other restrictions being abused.
Then he took on China. He clamped down on their stealing our
technology and the licensing as well as putting new restrictions
on their workers present here in the US. And then he placed a 25%
tariff on $250B of their products.
Then Trump took a trip. He reaffirmed America's commitment to
S. Korea and Japan. In The Middle East and Europe he went to the
holiest places and at NATO he put long overdue pressure on developed
nations to pay the 2% of GDP.
In Poland at the G-20, he established the Women's Entrepreneurs
Finance Initiative.
He moved the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and recognized
the Golan Heights as part of Israel.
**Law and Justice. Fix the broken system
He has appointed nearly 300 judges and 2 SCOTUS Justices. He
replaced hundreds of liberal Clinton and Obama judges taking back
some of the corrupt part of the system where Democrats felt as if
they were empowered and above the law.
He made surplus military equipment available to local law
enforcement. And criminal charges are up by 25% for unlawful
possession.
He has supported students whose free speech has been attacked
on college campuses.
He signed 3 Exec. Orders to crack down on cartels and gangs and
with 3 Central Amer. countries have prosecuted over 4K MS-13 members
20 in California.
He has also allocated $2B for school safety.
**Regulations. Wow..Where do I start?
He reversed hundreds of Obama job killing regulations. He had a
plan to create 1 new one for each 22 he removed.
He withdrew almost 500 and delayed another 300.
He reduced the time for infrastructure project approval from 10
to 2 years and ended the Obama war on coal. A savings of $18B.
This has helped to create hundreds of thousands of jobs.
**Energy and Environment-- America is energy independent.
We are now a net exporter of oil and natural gas.
Contrary to what the media says, he has proposed the Affordable
Clean energy Rule to reduce greenhouse gas, empowered states and has
facilitated growth and job creation.
He removed us from the Paris Climate Agreement that saves us
billions as well as rescinded the methane emissions rule saving us
over $530B annually. He created a task force to streamline cleanup
of contaminated sites.
He opened the Arctic Wildlife Reserve for energy production and
approved the Keystone Pipeline and Dakota Access pipeline creating
42,000 jobs and earning $2B.
I guess I will need one more week to cover Healthcare, Education,
Social Programs, Social Programs, and Government Accountability.
Many of his promises were wrapped in these categories.
So Trump has done well with his promises kept.
It wasn't a real high bar since Obama only fulfilled 43% of his
promises and he had Biden to help. Bahahaha Sorry I couldn't help it.
So as the election gets closer we need to pray for America and
for those who will threaten to kill themselves when he does. Again,
sorry.
May God Bless our great nation and President trump.
Conservatively,
John
