  The 45th President of the United States

  My presidential achievements:

  • Economy and Jobs

    1. I jump-started America’s economy into record growth, which created jobs and increased take-home pay for working Americans.
    2. Under President Trump’s leadership, Congress passed historic tax cuts and relief for hard-working Americans
    3. The U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at or above 3 percent for two quarters in a row for the first time in three years.
    4. 2017 first quarter GDP grew 1.2 percent, and 2017 fourth quarter GDP grew 2.5 percent
    5. 2018 first quarter GDP grew 2.3 percent. The best since 2015.
    6. President Trump is unleashing economic growth and jobs. During his first year, nearly 3 million new jobs were created since January 2017 and the unemployment rate fell to 3.8 percent, the first time below 4% in 18 years.
    7. The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit record highs more than 80 times under President Trump, including closing higher than 26,000 points for the first time in its history.
    8. Economic confidence rebounded to record highs under President Trump because his pro-growth policies have and continue to put American workers and businesses first.
    9. President Trump signed an Executive Order that expanded apprenticeships, recognizing the need for more quality alternatives to four-year college degrees.
    10. President Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the Secretary of Education to prioritize STEM education with a particular focus on computer science.
    11. The Trump Administration prioritized the economic empowerment of women as a key element of our commitment to economic growth and gender equality.

  • Immigration

    1. I protected the American homeland by enforcing immigration laws, so that every American can feel safe in their community.
    2. President Trump called on Congress to fully fund a wall along the Southern border, to close legal loopholes that enable illegal immigration, to end chain migration, and to eliminate the visa lottery program
    3. President Trump pulled the United States out of negotiations for a “Global Compact on Migration,” a plan for global governance of immigration and refugee policy that may have compromised U.S. sovereignty
    4. The Trump Administration rescinded the unlawful Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) program.
    5. From President Trump’s inauguration through the end of FY 2017, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made 110,568 arrests of illegal aliens, a 40 percent increase compared to the same time period the prior year.
    6. In FY 2017, ICE conducted 226,119 removals. The proportion of removals resulting from ICE arrests increased from 65,332, or 27 percent of total removals in FY 2016 to 81,603, or 36 percent of total removals, in FY 2017.

  • Infrastructure and Technology

    I built stronger rural communities by ensuring Americans have access to the quality infrastructure they deserve.

  • Foreign Policy

    By promoting fair and reciprocal trade, President Trump put America first. This includes exiting TPP, renegotiating NAFTA, and securing major new bilateral deals with major trading partners.

  • National Security and Defense

    President Trump rebuilt our military, crushed ISIS, and confronted rogue nations to protect America and our allies.

  • President Trump reversed years of policies that locked up American energy and restricted our ability to sell to other countries.

  • Health Care

    President Trump repealed the Obamacare individual mandate, expanded plan choices and increased competition to bring down costs for consumers.

  • Social Programs

    President Trump and his Administration protected life by fighting back against illegal drug shipments, opioid abuse, and abortion service providers.

  • Education

    President Trump and his Administration supported the expansion of school choice across the country so every parent has a voice in their child’s education.
