A Look Back on Trump’s Accomplishments

Over the last four years, our country has made many changes and improvements. As the election on November 3, 2020 occurred and Joe Biden won, it should be acknowledged that Donald Trump has made quite a lot of beneficial improvements to help our country in his first term of presidency. 

During his presidency, Trump worked hard to decrease the unemployment rate and by acting upon that, he has decreased it to 3.5% from 10%. He created 6.6 million jobs in his first three years of presidency to make this happen according to thebalance.com.

Donald Trump was able to finalize the creation of the Space Force as our sixth branch of military. And on the topic of the military, Trump also signed an executive order titled “National Initiative to Empower Veterans and End Veterans Suicide”. This provides veterans access to mental health treatments as they transition back into civilian life. “The executive order mandates the establishment of the Veteran Wellness, Empowerment and Suicide Prevention Task Force…which  focuses on improving the quality of life for America’s Veterans and ending the tragedy of Veteran suicide,” va.gov explained. This support allows Veterans access to 24/7, 365 days a year, to the Veteran’s Crisis Line for those that are in crisis and/or are dealing with suicidal thoughts or actions. 

Trump made history during his presidential term when he took his 20 steps into North Korea and shook hands with Kim Jong Un. He is the first sitting U.S. leader to step foot in this country and able to sit down and discuss issues with the North Korean Leader.

According to aamc.org, an executive order was signed by Trump on September 13, 2020 that attempts to match prescription prices of certain drugs under Part B and D with other countries’ low prices. This will benefit the users of these drugs by giving them a more affordable access to their health needs with better and lower prices.

People may love or hate Donald Trump, but opinions aside, he has done a lot of good deeds for our country even through difficult times. His first term of Presidency was a successful one and Trump deserves to be seen for the good that he has brought forth.
