Trump’s Amazing Accomplishments
From the perspective of those of us who favor a limited constitutional government, President Donald Trump’s four years in office were not perfect. But to paraphrase Alexander Hamilton’s opinion about the Electoral College, Trump’s policies may not have been perfect — but they were excellent.
Before the Chinese-based COVID-19 virus arrived in the United States, Trump was headed for a solid reelection. The economy was booming, as entrepreneurs, left to themselves and not fearing extra burdens placed upon them by an overbearing federal bureaucracy, were driving an American economy that set all types of records.
Since Trump’s election in 2016, the economy had created four million new jobs, 400,000 of these in manufacturing, which grew at the fastest rate seen in dec-ades. Unemployment claims were the lowest they had been in a half-century. And the wages that Americans received were buying more as median household income exceeded all previous records.
