Trump's Top 10 Achievements for 2019
America stands on the cusp of a new decade that promises to unfold as the new “Roaring Twenties.” A review of President Trump’s 2019 achievements, building on the successes of 2017 and 2018, provides context for the year and decade ahead, and reasons to expect a resounding Trump reelection next November. Here are my top 10:
- Jobs – The stunning recent news on employment proves, more than any other metric, the efficacy of President Trump’s growth doctrine of economic nationalism and the diffusion of power. Defying globalist skeptics from Wall Street, academia, and the corporate media, payrolls surged in America in 2019. The most recent jobs report revealed a plethora of records and extended the wage-growth winning streak to 16 straight months above a 3% pace, a mark seen only three months total during the sluggish Obama years. In addition, the fastest wage gains now flow to those groups that formerly lagged badly in the slow-growth recovery following the Great Recession. For example, the lowest 10% of earners saw income grow at an astounding 7% rate over the last year. Similarly, those without a high school diploma welcomed 9% wage acceleration in 2019.
- Broadening the Movement – 2019 represented a seminal breakout year for the America First movement as the Republican Party changes to a workers’ party. This new focus translates, already, into significant signs of ethnic, racial, and geographic diversity for the GOP. For example, a recent CNN poll in deeply blue California reported 32% minority support for Trump vs. current Democratic front-runner Joe Biden. Similarly, recent polls by The Hill and Emerson show Latino approval for the president at nearly 40%. It is difficult to overstate the importance of this kind of minority support, both for politics and, more importantly, for the overall cohesion of our society.
- Confronting China – Though a near-term détente in trade tensions was reached, Trump proved to the world in 2019 that tariffs can be effectively deployed to force the Chinese Communist Party into a bargaining posture. The soaring economy in America demonstrated that tough trade policy can indeed coincide with growth.
- Trade Deals With Allies – In contrast to the mostly contentious trade chess match with Beijing, Trump proved that America First hardly means America alone. The USMCA was finally ratified by the House of Representatives this year and points to a new era of prosperity with our neighbors as the global supply chain reorients from the Far East back to the Americas. Similarly, a breakthrough agreement was signed with Japan and the new U.S.-Korea trade pact took effect in early 2019.
- Judges – While Nancy Pelosi dithers and corporate media obsess over the sham impeachment inquest, President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mitchell quietly pile up a historic pace of judicial confirmations. Trump in 2019 secured his 50th federal appeals court judge in only three years, compared to just 55 for President Obama over eight years. Over the long term, remaking the federal judiciary into an originalist, constitutionalist branch of government may create Trump’s most enduring legacy.
- Remain-in-Mexico Policy – Our country still needs to drastically reform its inane asylum laws and provide vastly more border wall funding, but nonetheless President Trump found a fair and effective near-term solution for border control by requiring asylum seekers to apply from Mexico rather than trespassing across our sovereign border. Not surprisingly, according to NPR, less than 1% of the economic migrants who apply actually qualify as refugees. Trump’s 2019 move, therefore, provides a deterrent and averted a full-scale crisis at our border.
- Mueller Exoneration – Though admittedly not an active achievement, nevertheless the long-awaited Mueller report validated the president on two key topics. First, that no one in the 2016 Trump campaign actively cooperated with Russia or with any other foreign power. Secondly, Democratic Party chieftains such as Rep. Adam Schiff, along with a complicit media, repeatedly fed the public demonstrable lies for years about supposed “proof” of conspiracy.
- Al-Baghdadi Killing – The October special forces raid that eliminated the terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi proved that America can aggressively hunt down terrorists and dispense with enemies without nation-building and concomitant large-scale troop commitments. Some brave U.S. fighters, along with a terrific dog, highlighted that surgical strikes can protect our homeland without the massive outlays of blood and treasure employed by Trump’s predecessors.
- Natural Gas Exports Soar – Early in the Trump presidency, America became a net natural gas exporter for the first time since the Eisenhower administration. In 2019, this trend expanded in earnest, with an astonishing 60% growth rate of liquefied natural gas exports for the year. Establishing America as an energy superpower drives domestic prosperity, particularly in heartland energy regions, and facilitates affordable energy to power the on-shoring manufacturing renaissance that has produced 500,000 new factory jobs under Trump. In addition, American energy dominance benefits the geopolitical security of the entire globe.
- Space Force – Establishing the sixth military service branch in 2019 was pure Trump: imaginative, bold, forward-looking, and – predictably – roundly derided by establishment critics. In alignment with his outsider perspective, Trump correctly ascertains the potential of space as a warfighting domain, and that America must dominate there. As satellites increasingly guide the behaviors of our everyday lives, the U.S. Space Force will protect our security and economy far into the future, forming a lasting legacy for this most unorthodox president.
These 10 achievements build a foundation for our nation to flourish in the New Year. In addition, these accomplishments exhibit his leadership skills, in spite of a near-totally obstructionist House of Representatives and a consistently biased media establishment. Such accomplishments make the president the prohibitive favorite to win reelection over an unimpressive Democratic presidential stable of candidates. Looking bigger picture, the first three years of the Trump presidency have established the policy framework and upward momentum for a truly amazing decade ahead – the new Roaring Twenties.

oh, right, SPACE FORCE I'm cool with.
It sucks that we as a country can only get money for space science and exploration by tying the military and war to it.... but at least it is getting more funding.

I don't need to bother, because everything Obama ever did you hate... ODS.... BTW, so does Trump....
you don't bother, because you can't. That's sad.
obaMao had a chance to be a great president - he promised great things. he lied. he betrayed every promise he made.
he was a fake. he was racist, jumped the gun on blaming white policemen over a black prof... etc etc etc etc.
He said "police acting stupidly" without knowing facts, that blew up in your and his face. But obaMao set the tone for the radical movement to be emboldened.
Obama/Biden scandals:
-Fast & Furious
-Solyndra
-Benghazi
-IRS targeting
-Opperation Choke Point
-Spying on journalists
-VA waiting lists
-Cash payments to Iran
-Clinton emails
-Unmasking of political rivals
-Crossfire Hurricane/Russia Hoax
-Crossfire Razor/FlynnDon’t forget!
— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) June 25, 2020
and those were REAL SCANDALS, not fake invented political garbage.
Obamao/biden/higgardly/rice lied, and good Americans died.
name one good or great thing obaMao commie/biden accomplished in eight years.

I can name "it's just going to go away 22 times" so STFU, guy....
different subject. the virus will go away. smallpox did, so there's that.
I named hundreds of good/great things Pres Trump/Biden HAVE DONE FOR AMERICA.
you can't name one good or great thing your obaMao commie/biden did for America in EIGHT YEARS.
don't get all emotional, facts are facts, jack.
I got em, you don't.
name one, or forever hold your peas.

As I've said before, sure covid is going to go away- pick a year, just like Spanish Flu. That doesn't help much in the here and now with doofus wanting to withhold money from Schools that don't reopen. Fortunately, most School Superintendents have more sense than the Quack in Chief.
I already said Trumpie- I'm not going to bother refuting point by point all of the "wonderful things Trump has done for America".... It's a damn waste of my time talking to a brick wall.... But if you're an anti environmental gun hugging MAGA, I know where your coming from.
-
anti-environmental....
cool. I guess you're right. I AM an anti-environmental...activist fake man man goober warning global marxist redistribution of United States' wealth failed attempted mandate by the corrupt united nations...
you truncated it.
you can't name one obaMao/biden thing they did for America.
hate Pres Trump all you want, dance away from your failure to name even one thing during eight freaking years.
and our 2nd Amendment is never going away. The only way we HAVE OUR AMERICA, is because we kept our guns.
and your alls' leftwing idea to register all guns only would register the good guys. Your obamao commie worshippers won't register theirs.
then, that registered information would be used to confiscate all guns. from the good guys, naturally.
then the brownshirts/blackshrits of your "demoquack party" would have nothing to stop them, unless they can't get all police gone, too.

Because you can't asshole.
Did you hear about the gun toting white trash BLM protester in Austin that got his brains blown out? Your people are the ones you need be worried about having guns in their hands you dimwit.

I can name "it's just going to go away 22 times" so STFU, guy....
On the other hand nobody gave a shit until you folks decided it was a casual with which to beat the president. Your newly adopted party was spending every minute of every day on a bullshit impeachment Quest. Your hero Fauci (and let's be honest you only like him because he mouths off to the president not because he's been right all along ) has a handful of quotes about miniscule effect on America etc etc.
But hey again you guys are all free the quarantine to your heart's content.

Mike Bloomberg nailed it - DT is a carnival barking clown... Nah Steve- as a retired medical professional- I haven't bought any of the medical snake oil Trump's been trying to sell for months. Plenty of others have though. It's reason enough in my book to send the clown back to the golf course...
You'd have to be brain dead to not see Trump's 180 switcheroo regarding the virus is a direct result of the crappy polling numbers he's seeing... Fraud- phony....
Because you can't asshole.

Can't? Or not going to bother wasting my time anymore debating with a series of MAGA brick walls. I've already tried it once. Cal thinks Obamacare sucks, and environmental concerns are a bunch of crap. Like they say- "insanity is doing the same thing over and over- and expecting a different result." I'm smarter than that, because I already know what the result would be if I tried- I'd get exactly the same crap conspiracy responses. - go ahead and believe whatever shit Trump and QAnon spew. No one's stopping you. Sorry if I don't happen to believe it though....

Trump has shown a complete lack of leadership through a global pandemic. He hires people into roles that aren't qualified. Frankly, I'd rather not get a complete conservative supreme Court that sets us back decades. He's a giant asshole and there's something to be said about our perception and standing on the world stage. I don't trust him at all to take actions towards attacking climate change. Etc etc etc
Amazingly enough someone can say they aren't going to vote for Trump without it being "TDS".
Seeing a complete meltdown from Trump supporters of he loses would just be the cherry on top.
Already said that Woody- we just have TDS, standard lame comeback from the MAGAs... I agree, you don't have to have enthusiasm for a candidate to vote for him. Not if the alternative is someone you absolutely can't stand. Latest Wall Street Journal numbers- never vote for Biden 37%, never vote for Trump 50%.... 13% undecided...

that is childish emotional knee jerkie. You don't like Pres Trump, so you will vote to go back to total corruption, malaise, and leftwing violence, and fraud, and embezzlement, and plagiarism, and lies up your wazoo, deep state traitors all over our gov again.......
because you don't like Pres Trump's tweets. That is worse than stupid, and I still haven't come up with a good enough word to describe profound stupidity.
I'm workin on it in my spare time......
