MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, 1 WIN AT A TIME! 

     Donald J. Trump was elected by the people to be President of the United States of America in 2016 to make our country great again! I unequivocally believe that President Trump is successfully doing absolutely everything that we elected him to do and is doing so in record time. 

     Donald Trump left behind his lavish billionaire lifestyle to be hated and ridiculed by the very people who used to love him by running for President as a Republican. He even does it all for free, donating his entire presidential salary. Donald Trump didn’t run for President for himself. He clearly ran for President for us, the American people! He truly cares about the country and wants to do everything in his power to make it great again.

     I completely support President Trump and I always show it by proudly wearing my “Make America Great Again” hat. I’m never afraid to wear my MAGA gear, even in the most liberal cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. Of course, I’ve received plenty of hate and multiple death threats for openly supporting our President, but I won’t ever let that silence me from expressing my support. 

     Considering President Trump’s terrific job these past years, I’m undoubtedly going to vote for him in 2020 to “Keep America Great”! Here is my list of Donald Trump’s greatest accomplishments showing how he has done such a tremendous job so far and why you should definitely vote for him in 2020 too. 

• 1. JOB CREATION: President Trump said during his campaign announcement in June of 2015 that he “will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created” and he was absolutely right! Full time, high paying jobs are being created at record speed. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 5 million jobs have been created since President Trump’s election as of this writing. Unemployment under Trump is at 3.8% which is the lowest it has been in 50 years, making it virtually nonexistent. African-American, Hispanic-American, and Asian-American unemployment have all hit their lowest rates ever recorded in U.S. history. Unemployment for women is at a 65 year low and Veteran unemployment has hit it’s lowest rate in over 20 years. Today, more Americans are working than ever recorded before. That’s truly amazing. We need to re-elect Donald Trump to keep unemployment down and continue this record job growth! 

• 2. ECONOMIC BOOM: Thanks to President Trump’s historic tax cuts and his major deregulation the economy is booming like never before. President Trump tweeted in August of 2018 that “Our Economy is setting records on virtually every front - Probably the best our country has ever done”. He is 100% correct. Our economy is definitely setting records. In fact, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has hit over 100 record high closes since the election. President Trump’s booming economy has risen wages and salaries up 3.1%, which is the highest level in over a decade. We must elect Donald Trump again to keep this economic boom going!

• 3. POWERFUL MILITARY: President Ronald Reagan famously said in his 1983 State of the Union Address that “We maintain the peace through our strength”. Just like Reagan, President Trump also recognizes the great importance of a strong military force. Trump said that he will “make our military so big, so powerful, so strong, that nobody — absolutely nobody — is going to mess with us.” He didn’t lie. President Trump is truly making our military bigger and more powerful than ever before in United States history. Trump has increased our military funding greatly to construct new combat aircraft, tanks, and ships. President Trump gave our troops a well-deserved pay raise and has greatly upgraded their weapons and equipment. With our powerful military, Trump was successful in completely destroying ISIS. We need to elect President Trump again in 2020 to keep our military strong so we can have peace through strength.

• 4. STRONGER BORDERS: President Donald Trump’s biggest campaign promise was to secure our borders and to build the southern border wall to end the constant flow of illegal immigration. President Trump is doing just that. So far President Trump has greatly strengthened our borders by increasing security and adding thousands more border patrol agents. He is currently in the process of building the southern border wall to keep America safe. If Trump is re-elected, I’m positive that it will give him the necessary time to get that big, beautiful border wall built.

• 5. JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS: President Donald Trump is nominating and confirming a historic amount of judges at a record pace! As of April 2019, more than 90 judges nominated by President Trump have been confirmed by the United States Senate. Two justices have been appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States for a lifetime appointment. Fifty-three judges have been appointed to the United States District Courts and thirty-seven judges have been appointed to the United States Court of Appeals. Trump’s appointed judges are all strong constitutionalists, making the courts much more conservative for many years to come, which is truly a win for the American people. Let’s make sure Donald Trump wins again in 2020 so he can continue to make the courts more conservative.

• 6. PEACE WITH NORTH KOREA: Under President Obama, North Korea was one of our country’s most dangerous threats. In fact, many thought we were on the brink of war. But thanks to President Trump and his two very successful summits with Kim Jong Un, North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat. Kim Jong Un even signed a document in which he affirmed his unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. President Trump also helped end the almost 70-year-old war between North Korea and South Korea. Donald Trump must be elected again to continue the great progress to peace and complete denuclearization with North Korea. 

• 7. ART OF THE TRADE: As the man who wrote the art of the deal, Donald Trump has some fantastic trade accomplishments. President Trump has made many great trade deals including the new trade agreement with Mexico and Canada (the USMCA) that replaces the disastrous NAFTA. The United States, Mexico, and Canada trade agreement is saving the United States billions of dollars. He is also doing a fantastic job making our trade much fairer over the last few years, especially with China. For example, China was making the U.S. pay a huge tariff of 25% on car imports, while China only had to pay a 2 1/2% tariff when sending cars to the United States. That definitely wasn’t fair trade. President Trump won’t let other countries like China unfairly rip us off with trade anymore. President Trump has also pulled us out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which was a massive trade deal with Asia that was a total disaster and withdrew from the horrible Iran deal. We need to elect Trump again to continue our unbelievable trade success! 

     Other great accomplishments include: Moving the United States Embassy to Jerusalem and officially recognizing it as the true capital of Israel. This is something that former presidents, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton all promised they would do but never actually followed through with. President Trump successfully got 17 American captives released without having to pay millions of dollars or release any terrorists in return. He also repealed the disastrous Obamacare mandate, repealed Net Neutrality, and pulled out of the horrible Paris Climate Agreement, which was a huge waste of money. He signed an executive order to protect free speech on college campuses, signed the Right-to-Try legislation, expanding health care options for terminally ill patients and also ended the state requirement of funding for Planned Parenthood. Lastly, President Trump signed the historic First Step Act prison reform bill to fix the broken criminal justice system.

     President Trump has done so many terrific things for our country. It’s been truly amazing to watch. These past years have been unbelievably successful and I can’t wait to see the successes that the future holds. In 2020 you’ll need to decide who to vote for. It’s either Donald Trump or it’s the Democrats running who want to repeal our 2nd Amendment rights, raise our taxes, have open borders, and destroy our country by implementing socialism. You must make your choice. But we all know it’s a fact that America is becoming great again and I believe we need to keep it that way by electing Donald J. Trump for a second term to “Keep America Great”!

     I hope this OPENS YOUR EYES.
