Promises Made & Kept Pt. 3

    This is the third part of one interpretation of Trump's
promises made and kept in spite of the corruption, lying,
obstruction, and interference of the Democrats that they have
waged against his every effort.
    The really sad part is they have made it obvious that
their only goal is to regain power and continue their corrupt
effort to "fundamentally transform America into a combination
of Marxism, Communism, and Socialism that is guaranteed to
destroy democracy and create a government controlled country.
    I digress.
    **Healthcare. Trump promised to repeal and replace the
nightmare known as "Obamacare".
    He has managed to get rid of the illegal mandate and almost
got it repealed were it not for a disgruntled RINO who had a
problem with Trump's opinion of this man.
    He signed a 6 year extension of CHIP to fund healthcare for
9 million and mobilized his administration to address drug
addiction and opioid abuse and signed INTERDICT Act giving the
customs agents money for screening tools on the border.
    He also pressured China to close loopholes that allowed
fentanyl to be legally shipped much that ended up in the US.
    He has now approved large numbers of generic drugs that will
lower prescription costs and now has signed the Favorite Nation
Bill that will make most drugs cheaper for Americans for the
first time in 50 years.
    **Education.  He wanted to make school choice a priority.
He proposed $6.25B for grants, innovations, and Research on
scholarships and programs for vocational schools and apprentice-
ship programs.
    He implemented (ESSA) Every Student Succeeds Act to empower
states to be flexible. He also implemented year-round distribution
of Pell Grants. Low income students can get the assistance every
semester. They can earn their degrees faster.
    Trump reformed student loan services and reformed the Free
Application of Federal Student Aid.
    The Dept. of Education got $360M in federal assistance to 20
states and the Virgin Islands to assist with costs for displaced
students by Hurricane Harvey, Irma, Maria and some CA wildfires.
    **Social Programs. Focused more on the Opioid Crisis. HHS 
laid out a 5 point strategy to combat it. They indicted 2 Chinese
nationals & their North America based associates for distribution.
    They have  charged over 400, including doctors and medical
facilities for prescribing unnecessary opioids.
    In 2017 and 2018 his administration provided $500M to states
to prevent this abuse.
    On National Drug Take Back Day, DEA collected 912,305 LBS of
unused and potentially dangerous prescription drugs at 5,300 sites.
    In protecting the sanctity of life he reinstated the Mexico
City Policy stopping $9B from being used for abortion.
    He defunded a UN agency colluding with China's program of 
forced abortion and overturned Obama's regulation that prohibited
states from defunding abortion services.
He also signed Congressional Review Act to allow states to
restrict Planned  Parenthood Funding.
    He then set new Title IX enforcement to combat sexual assault
in schools to keep our children safe.
    **Government Accountability. Trump promised to make America's
government for and by the people and to drain the swamp. It is
definitely a work in progress because he may have underestimated the
depth of the corruption. He reorganized the executive branch and has
started overhauling the digitally delivered government services.
    He also signed an EO placing a 5 year ban on lobbying and a 
lifetime ban on lobbying for foreign countries for federal employees.
    He has gotten 2 SCOTUS Judges and almost 300 Art. III judges.
    ** Agriculture. Signed 2018 Farm Bill legalizing Hemp farming.
    The Dept. of Agriculture gave more flexibility to the SNAP which
holds states accountable for delivering food benefits.
    He has given billions of new tariff funds to help farmers during
the pandemic. He also provided $46M to improve critical community
facilities to benefit 363,000 rural residents. He also announced $1B
in loan guarantees for rural businesses to have capital during the
crisis. The USDA provided assistance to farm producers who suffered
a 5% or greater price decline due to the crisis.
    There are many other things he's accomplished in his first term
with an equal amount of success in spite of the constant obstruction
and attacks.
    There is no doubt that he deserves another term to finish his 
work to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
    With God's help let's make it happen.

Conservatively,
John
