The Complete List of President Trump's Accomplishments

[RocksInMyHead]

So this "make America great again"
Did he do it? Did the average economic outlook for an american improve as a result of initiatives that Trump conducted?

Thanks to the pandemic, this is hard to gauge. In the first couple years of his presidency most people got a few dollars more back on their taxes. However, this came at the cost of significant revenue and corresponding reductions in government services. The stock market went nuts, but the primary beneficiaries of that were the ultra-rich and large corporations. Wages remained stagnant and housing costs skyrocketed. Promises he made about bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US never came to fruition. "Infrastructure Week" never materialized.

Maybe hard to estimate, since we learned that Biden rolled back most of what Trump had done

Honestly, he really hasn't rolled back much (mostly because there wasn't a lot to roll back in the first place). The things that were rolled back (environmental deregulation, withdrawal from international agreements) largely don't have a noticeable impact on the average American. Most of Trump's immigration policies remained in place until very recently, and we've actually seen a decline in illegal immigration since they were changed. No significant changes to Trump's tax policies have been made.

Being concerned about the environment does not make one a leftist liberal. I am and I am neither of those.

climate and environment are 2 different matters

climate and environment are 2 different matters

Say what? Climate is the long term conditions of the air temps, wind speed, moisture, etc. How the heck is that not our environment? We live in it.

"climate" is the 30 year average of the weather.
"environment" is what is in the soil, like what should be there and what should not be there.

I avoid dropping batteries or plastic or other stuff in the wrong places. That is good precaution. But the climate - man, that is simply the weather, how much rain, how much sunshine. 2 very different things.

I recall seeing a story about some western US state (or other) floating black plastic balls in reservoirs to keep the water from evaporating too quickly.

The environment is the entire physical planet. It's a heck of a lot more than the soil, and it absolutely influences the climate (and vice versa). As a very simple example, consider the ocean. If you raise the temperature (part of the climate) of the ocean (a part of the environment), more water will evaporate into the atmosphere (another part of of the environment). As this water vapor rises, it forms clouds and eventually falls somewhere else as rain (part of the climate).

You're right in that climate is a description of our environment.

But they are not "two different matters."

Business Insider has a much more accurate accounting of "successes and failures."

Trump's biggest accomplishments and failures from his one-term presidency

Though his accomplishments are not popular with his critics, Trump, for better or worse, has been a consequential president.

www.businessinsider.com

Failures are listed as:
Charlottesville and George Floyd
America's Global Image is in Shambles (you can say that again!)
Family Separations and Deaths of Migrant Children
Iran, Syria, and Afghanistan
Replacing the Affordable Care Act (i.e. he succeeded in crippling and weakening it, but did not achieve this admittedly nefarious plan.)
Impeachment (well-deserved, the "failure" was in their failure to pass the Senate.)
COVID 19 Pandemic

Trump often took credit for the robust US economy before the pandemic, ignoring that much of the growth began during the Obama administration.

The US faced one of the worst economic crises in its history under Trump, which was intrinsically linked to his disastrous response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Damaging democracy (heaven help us if he returns to finish the job...)
Trump's biggest accomplishment is listed as Reshaping the Judiciary. But is that really an accomplishment?
How was it 'reshaped?' If I were to conceptualize its reshaping artistically, my sculpture would have six conservative judges launching arrows at the heart of "democracy."

Climate change and the green movement is run by the leftist liberals

Iran, Libya and the Yemen are the only countries that haven't signed the Paris Agreement. Kinda silly isn't it to class countries such as Russia, China, Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar...and even that bastion of liberal ideals, North Korea as far left liberals?

Yes, of course it is. So please get real.

 

[PeterDona]

If you raise the temperature (part of the climate) of the ocean

ascribing to yourself superpowers that you do not have. How on earth (pun not intended) would you go about that? Boil some water and throw it into the ocean?

 

[Truth7t7]

Almost like it was all bought and paid for.

Yep, shut down the western free world through environmental regulations, and give it to Communist China, who's polluting the world without restrictions with coal fired power plants, streams, rivers, and the ocean is a disaster, destroyed, as the leftist save the earth green movement climate changers sit silent on China and their global environmental disaster, As if we're all oblivious to the facts


President Trump had tariffs on China, bringing Jobs home to America, it's a scary thing to think China being in control of global pharmaceuticals and steel, basically over (Health) drugs and the ability to fight a (War) steel

The father of "modern climate change" is liberal (Al Gore) those that have followed March to the drum beat

The Paris accord is a political piece of paper that is useless, as if China, India,, Bangladesh, Vietnam,, all adhere to the rules and regulations (So Please Get Real)

I'm sorry, I can't work up enough leftist, liberal, green energy to argue with someone who thinks the whole world is being hoodwinked by Al Gore. Please take your claims to the Conspiracy Section. I'll get my tinfoil hat and join you there.

The judicial appointments should be considered a victory for Mitch Mcconnell and the Federalist Society. All Trump did was sign the papers. You could have replaced him with any living Republican and had the same outcome.

I Guess A Whole Bunch Of People Need Tin Hats In The Conspiracy Forum, Because Liberal (Al Gore) Is The Father Of (Modern Climate Change) The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Recepient For Climate Change

(Al Gore) The Gobal Marshall Plan 1992, take money from wealthy western world nations, and give it to 3rd world countries, redistribution of wealth is at the very heart of the communist plan and platform

Wikipedia:Global Marshall Plan is a plan first devised by former American Vice-President Al Gore in his bestselling book Earth in the Balance, which gives specific ideas on how to save the global environment.

Gore states: "The model of the Marshall Plan can be of great help. For example, a Global Marshall Plan must focus on strategic goals and emphasize actions and programs that are likely to remove the bottlenecks presently inhibiting the healthy functioning of the global economy. The new global economy must be an inclusive system that does not leave entire regions behind. The new plan will require the wealthy nations to allocate money for transferring environmentally helpful technologies to the Third World and to help impoverished nations achieve a stable population and a new pattern of sustainable economic progress. To work, however, any such effort will also require wealthy nations to make a transition themselves that will be in some ways more wrenching than that of the Third World."

Al Gores 1992 Book, Earth In The Balance, The Very Platform And Global Beginning Of Where Climate Change Is Today

Wikipedia: Earth In The Balance
Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit (ISBN 0-452-26935-0, paperback ISBN 1-85383-743-1) is a 1992 book written by Al Gore, published in June 1992, shortly before he was elected Vice President in the 1992 presidential election. Known by the short title Earth in the Balance, the book explains the world's ecological predicament and describes a range of policies to deal with the most pressing problems. It includes a proposed "Global Marshall Plan" to address current ecological issues.

Gee, what if “money” was a made-up thing and not at all “real”?

 

[Truth7t7]

Gee, what if “money” was a made-up thing and not at all “real”?

The present (Climate change) hysteria and actions being taken is nothing more than a redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor, just as Al Gore stated in his "Global Marshall Plan", this is the very foundation of communism

Mark 10:21
21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”​

That was a rhetorical "you"; I could have just as easily phrased it as "If the temperature of the ocean is increased..." The who and how is irrelevant to the purpose of my post, which was to demonstrate the relationship between climate and environment.

A recent study on U.S.-China trade concludes that Trump’s trade policies cost the U.S. economy nearly a quarter million jobs.
