Trump is keeping his promises

Let's think back to all the politicians and all the promises they make when running for office. And how many of those promises are met during the course of their terms in office?

Now let's look at some of the things President Donald Trump said he would do while campaigning for the office.

Number 1: Tax reform. Accomplished in less than 2 years.

Number 2: Repeal the mandate for Obamacare. Done.

Number 3: Immigration reform. Still trying and in the Supreme court. Democrats are fighting like (heck) because they look at illegal Immigrants as votes for life. Not to mention the border wall. But he still has started the process.

Number 4: North Korea. He said he would put maximum pressure on them to stop their nuclear programs. That promise looks pretty good so far with the summit coming up soon.

Number 5: He said that he would drop out of the Paris climate Accord. Done.

Number 6: Get out of the Iran Deal. Done.

Why are people so enraged by the things he is doing? That is what he got elected on.

Now I do not agree with some of his tactics, and personally I do care for him much, but he is doing exactly what he said to get elected.

The media, including this newspaper, and the left will criticize every move this guy makes until his last day in office.

But when he goes for re-election he will have a lot of evidence showing that he kept more campaign promises in his first term than any other elected official in history.
