TRADE
-Quit the badly negotiated Trans-Pacific Partnership, a 12-country Pacific Rim trade deal negotiated under Obama.
-Replacing NAFTA with the more balanced USMCA. The USMCA encourages U.S. manufacturing by requiring high-wage labor content for autos; strengthens supply chains to provide new market opportunities for the U.S. textile and apparel sector; provides strong protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights; includes the strongest labor provisions of any trade agreement; expands market access for American food and agricultural products; contains the strongest disciplines on digital trade of any international agreement; and makes environmental obligations fully enforceable.
-The United States initiated two actions to enforce environmental provisions in our free trade agreements, and our trading partners changed their practices. The United States also obtained an historic WTO award of $7.5 billion annually – the largest in WTO history – in our country's long-running dispute with the European Union over illegal subsidies to Airbus.
-The Phase One Agreement with expanded trade, with enforceable commitments by China to increase purchases of U.S. exports by no less than $200 billion for two years. Unfortunately, it was not enforced by the Biden administration.
The result of these trade intiatives and others was 500,000 manufacturing jobs. In the twelve months prior to Trump taking office, 15, 000 manufacturing jobs were lost.
WORKERS and FAMILIES
-Doubled the Child Tax Credit from $1,000 to $2,000 per child and expanded the eligibility for receiving the credit.
Nearly 40 million families benefitted from the child tax credit (CTC), receiving an average benefit of $2,200 – totaling credits of approximately $88 billion.
-Created the first-ever paid family leave tax credit for employees earning $72,000 or less.
-Signed into law 12-weeks of paid parental leave for Federal workers.
-Signed into law a provision that enables new parents to withdraw up to $5,000 from their retirement accounts without penalty when they give birth to or adopt a child.
-Established the Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship programs in new and emerging fields which created 850,000 new apprenticeships.
-Established the National Council for the American Worker and the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board.
-Signed an executive order that directs the Federal government to replace outdated degree-based hiring with skills-based hiring.
HEALTH and WELLNESS
-Eliminated the Obamacare individual mandate. But, he could not get congress to repeal and replace Obamacare.
-Eliminated costly Obamacare taxes, including the health insurance tax, the medical device tax, and the "Cadillac tax."
-Finalized the Most Favored Nation Rule to ensure that pharmaceutical companies offer the same discounts to the United States as they do to other nations, resulting in an estimated $85 billion in savings over seven years and $30 billion in out-of-pocket costs alone.
-Ended the Unapproved Drugs Initiative, which provided market exclusivity to generic drugs resulting in lower out of pocket costs.
-Signed first-ever executive order to affirm that it is the official policy of the United States Government to protect patients with pre-existing conditions.
-Passed Right To Try to give terminally ill patients access to lifesaving cures.
BORDER SECURITY
-Ended the dangerous practice of Catch-and-Release, which means that instead of aliens getting released into the United States pending future hearings never to be seen again, they are detained pending removal, and then ultimately returned to their home countries.
-Entered into three historic asylum cooperation agreements with Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala to stop asylum fraud and resettle illegal migrants in third-party nations pending their asylum applications.
-Entered into a historic partnership with Mexico, referred to as the "Migrant Protection Protocols," to safely return asylum-seekers to Mexico while awaiting hearings in the United States.
-Streamlined and expedited the asylum hearing process through both the Prompt Asylum Claim Review (PACR) and the Humanitarian Asylum Review Process (HARP).
PEACE and SECURITY
-Brokered historic peace agreements between Israel and Arab-Muslim countries, including the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain, and Sudan. The Abraham Accords.
-Brokered historic peace agreements between Israel and Arab-Muslim countries, including the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain, and Sudan.
-Announced the Vision for Peace Political Plan – a two-state solution that resolves the risks of Palestinian statehood to Israel's security, and the first time Israel has agreed to a map and a Palestinian state.
-Created the Terrorist Financing Targeting Center (TFTC) in partnership between the United States and its Gulf partners to combat extremist ideology and threats, and target terrorist financial networks, including over 60 terrorist individuals and entities spanning the globe.
EDUCATION
-The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expanded School Choice, allowing parents to use up to $10,000 from a 529 education savings account to cover K-12 tuition costs at the public, private, or religious school of their choice.
-Launched a new pro-American lesson plan for students called the 1776 Commission to promote patriotic education.
-Prohibited the teaching of Critical Race Theory in the Federal government.
-Signed into law the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, which provides over 13 million students with high-quality vocational education and extends more than $1.3 billion each year to states for critical workforce development programs.
-Signed the INSPIRE Act which encouraged NASA to have more women and girls participate in STEM and seek careers in aerospace.
-Signed an executive order that ensures public universities protect First Amendment rights or they will risk losing funding, addresses student debt by requiring colleges to share a portion of the financial risk, and increases transparency by requiring universities to disclose information about the value of potential educational programs.
-Signed into law the FUTURE Act, making permanent $255 million in annual funding for historically Black colleges and universities.
MISCELLANEOUS
-Signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – the largest tax reform package in history. A typical family of four earning $75,000 received an income tax cut of more than $2,000 – slashing their tax bill in half.
-Doubled the standard deduction – making the first $24,000 earned by a married couple completely tax-free.
-Energy Independence. Opened ANWR and approved and completed Dakota Access Pipeline. Gasoline, home heating and electricity prices were low.
-Withdrew the United States from the job-killing and totally unfair Paris Climate Accord.
-Withdrew from the horrible, one-sided Iran Deal.
-Reduced the SALT tax loophole making taxes simpler and fairer.
I could go on of course, but Admin and Holliday don't read and don't care. In their closed world, Trump bad, the people that voted for him are worse and they are moral and wise.
There were many setbacks too, especially in health care and trade, but congress shares the blame equally with the former president. Trump has never been my first choice for president. But, compared to the two Dems he faced, he was by far the best option.
I could not create such a list for Biden. From the misleading IRA to the CHIPS Act to his infrastructure program, they all will lead to higher prices for middle income Americans and massive taxpayer transfers to the welathiest Americans.

Admin asked me to name Trump policies I liked. Trump was not my choice for president in 2016 and he will not be in 2024. I am a Bill Weld and Rand Paul type voter. Trump was not a small government conservative and that is fair since he did not campaign as one. But, compared to Hillary Clinton and especially Joe Biden, his policies were and still are so much better for most Americans and here is why.
TRADE

Energy independence, and immigration were his two biggest successes for the working class in my opinion. Jim Crow Joe reversed both and cause an invasion and expensive energy.

Every single program in America costs me. Not only that, but I pay to suffer the consequences of it too. All we do anymore is raise a bunch of lazy assholes. At any rate, no man should take 12 weeks off for a kid. He should use his vacation time....all 2-4 weeks of it at most!

Trump is targeted and persecuted for our sake unfairly, for sure. But he is also his own worst enemy too often and appears to have learned no lessons from his losses if he won't come to Iowa and talk with host Tucker Carlson on Friday. Maybe I'm the only one, but I'd kinda like to know why we should put our futures in the hands of a guy who may be in jail on Election Day? Or who lacks so much self-control, when we really need him to have enough to win a must-win election, that he's trashing our beloved Governor Kim Reynolds because she won't anoint him yet as her lord and savior.
Trump is in danger of becoming the very thing he supposedly came to destroy. He even hides from competition to the point he obsesses about a man – Ron DeSantis – whom he claims to be destroying. He's only done one rally since April 27. He offers no specifics on how he plans to win this time. His fundraising lags behind DeSantis. Much of his messaging is "look at the polls" and poorly lit videos of his lamentations posted at Truth Social, where he also daily seethes. There is no evidence being presented that Trump is prepared, or even willing, to do what must be done to reverse the GOP's loss of independent swing voters in three consecutive elections.

There's absolutely no reason why a man should take 3 fucking months off from work when his kid is born. Its fucking bullshit and the other employees that have to cover for him suffer greatly. I know cause I just had to cover for this fucktard that got a free 3 month vacation for him jizzing in his wife and his customer base was a shit show to figure out. I had to do the same about 2 years ago for the same asshole.
I'm with you on this one. The traditionalist in me says a man's worth is defined by his willingness to be the breadwinner, particularly when the woman steps up to her role of the nurturer. Tying both to a welfare teat (thereby making both dependent upon the state) is not only unnecessarily demeaning, it is a toxic example to set for the next generation.
It should be a matter of personal pride/honour for both man and woman to provide for the family unit - the man to provide the resources and the woman to allocate those resources where they do the most good for all concerned. This is not a federal issue, nor a states issue, it is called "being responsible". Morally it is the ideal, and I am sure you will confirm there are examples aplenty in your religious texts. Raising a family is not a commitment that ought to be entered to lightly and expecting someone else to fork out their resources for one's sweaty boudoir gymnastics is plain fucking rude.

-Signed into law 12-weeks of paid parental leave for Federal workers.
There's absolutely no reason why a man should take 3 fucking months off from work when his kid is born. Its fucking bullshit and the other employees that have to cover for him suffer greatly. I know cause I just had to cover for this fucktard that got a free 3 month vacation for him jizzing in his wife and his customer base was a shit show to figure out. I had to do the same about 2 years ago for the same asshole.
I'm with you on this one. The traditionalist in me says a man's worth is defined by his willingness to be the breadwinner, particularly when the woman steps up to her role of the nurturer. Tying both to a welfare teat (thereby making both dependent upon the state) is not only unnecessarily demeaning, it is a toxic example to set for the next generation.

Didn't that faggot putrid buttplug and his disgustingly deviant husband take 6 months off after some deviant scum democrat filth gave them a child to contaminate with their disgusting perversions?
All I know is that he is a terrible Transportation Secretary and a blatant hypocrite.

Trump won't be among the GOP presidential candidates gathering in Des Moines Friday for the Family Leadership summit, which is expected to attract over 2,000 Iowa GOP voters.
Bob Vander Plaats, the president and CEO of the Family Leader, told CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns that Trump is "making a mistake" by skipping the group's annual conference.

Trump in 2024 will be nothing like Trump in 2016. He will be more like Jim Crow Joe or Hidin Bidin in 2020.

That speaks to his blue collar base looking for someone to defend the working class because both parties have abandoned them. Trump does not have the energy he did seven years ago. He aint fine tuned his platform much either. The best thing Trump could do for working men and women is step aside and endorse the candidate that he thinks will keep the Republican party a champion of the working class.

He could do that, sure. Trouble is there is no choice that will not see voters saying "get fucked" and deserting the party in droves. What, you think that him simply endorsing someone would turn the trick? You're not dealing with Dummycrat partisans here, a good many Trump supporters have NO issue with telling him to sod off when he comes out with genuine clangers. You ought to have worked out that much from the reception his stance on the clot-shots garnered.
But do keep pining for him to step aside. Such foolhardiness is a hallmark of the conservative movement after all, right wing party-men have excelled at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, so it doesn't surprise me to see the groundswell of people moving heaven and earth to lose 2024 by kicking the front runner to the curb.

The Republican Party hasn't been the champion of the working class for donkey's years and neither have the Democrats.
Step aside for who?
A governor from Florida intimidated from disparaging Trump outright, and therefore Trump's voters... a governor who up until very recently was barred from running in two elections by Florida state law, so he did "book tours" outside of Florida, until he could get that law off the books.
The same fucking governor who hired a former Dominion employee despite the same governor affirming election integrity sentiments?
Yeah, nah, DeSantis is fully fucking compromised or he's just very very very stupid.
Either or, no thank you fucking much. We don't need another puppet in the white house.
He's shown his colours and cowardice.
Hard fail. DeSantis is a cuck..

Trump may yet drop out of the presidential race it exchange for a plea deal. The Dem controlled DOJ never wanted Trump in jail. They don't want him in the White House again. A sitting president is misusing his power to eliminate his main opposition. Something like Nicolas Maduro would do.

I don't see that happening because then Dem elites would be openly admitting this is all political and designed to interfere with elections. I see Trump running and losing again. He is the only person Biden can beat so unless we get a third party run which takes more from Biden than Trump... Well, it will be four more years of the brain dead pants shitter who hates America.
