Year One List: 81 major Trump achievements, 11 Obama legacy items repealed

by Paul Bedard | Dec 21, 2017, 1:04 PM

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.

Administrations typically tout their achievements broadly at the end of each year, but Trump plans to list jobs added, regulations killed, foreign policy victories won, and moves to help veterans and even drug addicts.

And in a sign of support for conservatives, the White House also is highlighting achievements for the pro-life community.

Below are the 12 categories and 81 wins cited by the White House.

Jobs and the economy

•Passage of the tax reform bill providing $5.5 billion in cuts and repealing the Obamacare mandate.
•Increase of the GDP above 3 percent.
•Creation of 1.7 million new jobs, cutting unemployment to 4.1 percent.
•Saw the Dow Jones reach record highs.
•A rebound in economic confidence to a 17-year high.
•A new executive order to boost apprenticeships.
•A move to boost computer sciences in Education Department programs.
•Prioritizing women-owned businesses for some $500 million in SBA loans.

Killing job-stifling regulations

•Signed an Executive Order demanding that two regulations be killed for every new one creates. He beat that big and cut 16 rules and regulations for every one created, saving $8.1 billion.
•Signed 15 congressional regulatory cuts.
•Withdrew from the Obama-era Paris Climate Agreement, ending the threat of environmental regulations.
•Signed an Executive Order cutting the time for infrastructure permit approvals.
•Eliminated an Obama rule on streams that Trump felt unfairly targeted the coal industry.

ten more categories (including pro-life, national security return to peace through strength...all solid conservative policies)

I couldn't be happier.

Trump has far exceeded my wildest hopes.  He's the most conservative President since Reagan.

I won't run away from my comments on this forum in early 2016.  I didn't like him or trust him.  He was, in the parlance of the early UFC, using Couture "dirty boxing" against candidates - Cruz, Rubio, Walker et al - who I like and respect.

But, the night of the Indiana Primary I knew it was an "anyone but Hillary" mission and Trump has delighted me both with his policies and approach.  I don't care about his impolitics on certain Twitter outbursts, he's revolutionized the way POTUS communicates with Americans and he accurately concluded that the elites would bury him had he relied on traditional outlets to report his accomplishments and message.

Trump is a force of nature.  I can shake my head, roll my eyes and wonder "Was that necessary" but I will never doubt his instincts and focus.   Donald Trump is an American patriot.   Something the last guy in that office was not.

I think I posted this list myself a few weeks ago.

But, if the mods don't notice, why not?  Everybody may not have seen it the first time round.

bad as a banana with a greasy black peel.

So we should 'Listen'.

Flattery will get you nowhere.  You will also need a Tiffany's box.

I was most impressed with stuff he saw and the times he got on planes.  Amazing.
