For the sake of honesty I have added a few things. I couldn't deal with the ridiculous "law and order" crap. Mass shootings and hate crimes have risen dramatically and nothing done.

Exactly!
This list of accomplishments is definitely biased and it’s so obvious that trump’s “ accomplishments “ are a result of the previous president’s efforts to improve Americans’ existence including the economy. Trump was handed the gift of an increasingly healthy economy .
However, hate crimes and divisiveness has been sharply increasing since 2017.

We have seen this “ list” before. Someone posted it last week.
I just shook my head and pointed out how flawed and so “right wing-ish” the post and list was .
We have said that Trump was fortunate to have been given a healthy economy due to the efforts of Obama. ( he wants to take that away and claim its his efforts 😡)
I pointed out that the Vets still are not being taken care of. But instead Trump sends thousands of our military to keep out a few poor desperate families who want to come here for a better life. It’s expensive and that money should go to the military and education.
That’s just a start.
I could go on but I’m sure the righties will come zooming in to personally attack and defend their King Cheeto .
But..289 accomplishments!
