Here’s a list but for a Bernie guy, would say Trump was the first president in over 30 years to not get into new wars and draw down troops. He also just brokered a major Middle East peace deal. On trade, he replaced NAFTA with a much better deal. Got rid of TPP. Got rid of fucking ISIS caliphate. That’s 10% of it. Man is a legend.

Thanka for link. Being called a bernie guy, now that hurts lol...

I quit being a Bernie guy after he endorsed Hillary in 2016. I never trusted him, I just didn't want to see Hillary win the Dem ballot, and figured Trump would be a status quo Repuican.

I am tracking on those achievements and the US not starting any new wars is, for me, the crowning achievement of this administration.

Hospital Price transparency will begin January 2021 requiring all Hospitals to publicize how they price drugs/services/costs. People can know which Hospital to go to thus driving competition ""Thanks to President Trump's vision and leadership, we are throwing open the shutters and bringing to light the price of care for American consumers. Kept secret, these prices are simply dollar amounts on a ledger; disclosed, they deliver fuel to the engines of competition among hospitals and insurers. This final rule and the proposed rule will bring forward the transparency we need to finally begin reducing the overall healthcare costs." https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2019/11/15/trump-administration-announces-historic-price-transparency-and-lower-healthcare-costs-for-all-americans.html

Lol. Believe me I have quite a bit of it figured out, I just am having a hard time wading through a sea of bullshit to actually learn about what he's done as a president. I've followed the news pretty closely, but most of my attention is spent on his policy with conflicts overseas.

I am a neurotic person and I put a lot of consideration into my vote, usually casting one out of desperation and with a hesitancy built by distrust of general politics.

Just wanted to see if there is a list somewhere outside of something generic like Wikipedia.

There's countless examples of times Washington's leadership, the Pentagon's failed leadership, and the military failed leadership killed people. Benghazi is absolutely disgusting and it was heartbreaking but not surprising that wall street and Washington turn their back on troops and even their own.

I specifically tried to vote Bernie so Hillary would lose. At the time, Trump seemed more like a Hillary plant, as it just didn't make sense to me how Republicans pushed him to the front.

I am aware of some of his moves for the VA, it helped me out a ton when I was using my GI Bill. But I missed learning a lot of details so I'm looking to read up, if you have any links to good reads I'm all eyes.

Freedom

First Step Act Designed to give non-violent inmates a 2nd chance, it provides them with opportunities to participate in drug treatment programs, vocational training, and other educational training. This bill allows them to have better chances of obtaining jobs once they are released so that they will be less likely to return to a life of crime. In April of 2019 16,000 inmates had enrolled in drug treatment programs. It rolls back provisions of the 1994 Clinton crime law that disproportionately hurt AA community. More than 500 people with unfair sentences were released from prison. Even Van Jones supported. The First Step Act expanded avenues for eligible elderly and terminally ill prisoners to get their sentences reduced by allowing for their motions to be directly filed with the courts.

Trump cancels $300M aid to Pakistan where US flags are burned. http://www.freespeechfront.net/2018/11/trump-cancels-300m-aid-to-pakistan.html

Trump has continuously used sanctions on enemy countries in order to combat them without having put America through another war, using military options only for extreme cases. This strategy has yielded positive results. The sanctions on Iran are hurting Hezbollah. Some of the benefits that fighters get have been cut. "Benefits for expenses such as meals, gas and transportation have been canceled, according to another Hezbollah insider." The same may be happening to Hamas behind the scenes or will happen in the future if this keeps up. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/trumps-sanctions-on-iran-are-hitting-hezbollah-hard/2019/05/18/970bc656-5d48-11e9-98d4-844088d135f2_story.html?utm_term=.61c2e185e8dd

Trump began peace talks with North Korea which also brought about further developments between the North and South Korea. The South Korean president even said that Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts concerning the Korean conflict.

If you think Trump is controlled by Russia, remind them that he bombed Russian mercenaries in Syria. He has more Russian blood in his hands than Obama does. If I remember correctly, he also gave more weapons to Ukraine to protect itself from Russia than Obama ever did. Trump and the Polish gov have also talked about the idea of putting a US military base in Poland, which would make Russian aggression in Europe more risky. The US will also put intermediate range missiles in Romania and Poland in 2020. https://breakingdefense.com/2019/07/us-upgrading-ukraine-ports-to-fit-american-warships/ https://youtu.be/Vpwkdmwui3k

He's got it on his website but I don't know if you'd call it unbiased. Here are some of mine:

Incredibly great economy. Turned the world against China. Remember when he started running in 2015 everyone criticized him for being against China. Now it's a bipartisan, transalantic effort. Mexico is taking all the illegals that call themselves refugees. The walls not built yet but the number of illegals coming in has greatly decreased because we no longer just catch and release. Trump just made all our medication a lot cheaper! He did it only by saying drug companies have to charge us the same as they charge people in other countries. They can still make a profit and innovate, this just stops other countries using protectionist policies to make our companies sell to them cheap. Space Force. This, the meds, and China is actually something I've been saying for years and I gave up thinking a president would do them. Next great war is definitely taking place in space. He defeated ISIS. We forget that as he did it in only 6 months. His foreign policy in general has been nothing but success. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea have all stopped fighting against him while remaining massively sanctioned. And he's done all this without starting any new wars.

My biggest things have always been economy and foreign policy so I tend to skew my answer to that. He's also made us an energy exporter. Appointed great judges. Etc.

Incredible president! Best since Lincoln.

Yeah his stance on China actually threw me off, as I didn't expect it at all. I was glad to see someone tell them to fuck themselves on any level. And what has been uncovered on their country between the detention/concentration camps, the social credit, surveillance state, and US college funding is absolutely terrifying. But at the same I also wish a Winnie would. Every country would jump in on that fight lol.
