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!
