According to the White House, the 81 accomplishments are in 12 major categories and include well over 100 other minor achievements. The unofficial list helps to counter the impression in the mainstream media and among congressional Democrats that outside the approval of Supreme Court Neil Gorsuch and passage of the tax reform bill little was done. Administrations typically tout their achievements broadly at the end of each year, but Trump plans to list jobs added, regulations killed, foreign policy victories won, and moves to help veterans and even drug addicts. And in a sign of support for conservatives, the White House also is highlighting achievements for the pro-life community.


All are listed in link

I do agree to an extent.


It was the same as O's bullshite "Created or SAVED _____ jobs" stuff (Big Corp lays off 1000 people - O claims "it WOULD have been 1500. So, I saved 500 jobs!")


Again...O is gone. This is the current disingenuous, dishonest asshat in chief. I just like this version better than the other.

Got my tax cut....don't care about the dead in the streets!
