Trump’s Unprecedented First-term Accomplishments

Walt said:
Polk established our northern and southern border, and won a war with Mexico. He nearly doubled the size of America. He promised to do all that in one term, and not to run for a second. He kept that promise.

trump inherited a lot of money, and invested it worse than the market average. He has done a huge amount of damage to America, and promises far more damage to come.

History has no meaning to Trump or his supporters. As for the OP's list of accomplishments, Trump himself had little to nothing to do with most all of them.

It’s easy to get the idea Alter-Walter and the left think boxing in Iran is a bad thing lol

There’s no denying Trump’s middle East accomplishments—it’s even got some [all be it, begrudging] love from some prominent democrats/ liberal pundits.

The million dollar question is whether Biden would undo Trump’s progress IF elected.

Alter-Walter, priceless!

You are in denial, Alt-Walt.

Trump did something in the Middle East I thought I’d never see. It’s significant enough that *if he accomplishes nothing else* his first term will be historic if only for that.

Carter got peace between an Arab Country and Israel, which many people thought was impossible. Clinton got a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians, which many people thought was impossible. Obama got unofficial peace between most Arab Countries and Israel, along with pulling us out of Iraq.

trump has paid dearly for a few official peace deals which give us little. There is hardly peace in the Middle East, in fact there is more violence than before.

They used to all favor boxing in Iran. Iraq no longer favors boxing in Iran. Iran has won big time in Syria, which trump has tacitly supported. Lebanon and Kuwait are going to bat for Iran. And outside Saudi Arabia, Jorden, and the UAE, all Arab Countries have normalized relations with Iran.

In a few ways, Iran has lost ground. They used to have better relations with Saudi Arabia. But in a huge number of ways, Iran has gained ground. They have normalized relations with much of the Middle East.

Actually, it was trump that capitulated to al-Assad in Syria. trump betrayed our allies in Syria, and handed the country over to Iran's ally al-Assad.

Seriously? Well consider this accomplishment of your lawlessly hacked in Putin bitch tRump who has murdered more Americans that should seal his eternal fate at a federal penitentiary for the more than two life terms. This includes and afterwards for your tRump to experience the burning fires of hell for his body and soul forever and thereafter, and that goes for his sold out republicans and brainwashed cult following fools too. This includes who all have been a un American stink and a blotch on the common decency of Global humanity:

This Republican Party Is Not Worth Saving
No one should ever get a second chance to destroy the Constitution.
