Biased cherry-picking. 9_9
- Almost instantly secured a border Democrats claimed couldn't be secured.
- Leveraged federal funding to end sanctuary city/state policies incentivizing illegal immigration.
- Got middle class tax cuts made permanent, plus no tax on tips.
- Cut huge amounts of waste in the spending and workforce of the federal government.
- Got Venezuela to cooperate with a quick snatch and grab.
You know, things history will actually remember.

Definitely.
President Trump also
- Created the United States Space Force
- Cleaned up Washington DC and dramatically reduced its once appalling crime rate.
- Pressured Europe and even Canada to spend more on their own defense.
- Enacted trade policies designed to eliminate the incentives for companies to out-source American manufacturing to China.
- Just generally moved the cultural narrative away from DEI, the trans-craziness, race and gender divisiveness, defund the police etc.
- Set back Iran's nuclear weapons program by many years.
- Was the model for conservative electoral victories in much of Latin America
- Is the model for all kinds of European populist movements (Reform, the National Rally, AfD, the Sweden Democrats and many more).
- Strengthened the US military by eliminating DEI promotions and reemphasizing war fighting, exceeding recruiting targets.
- Negotiated the Abraham Accords and the makings of a new wider Middle Eastern alliance.
- Expanded American energy production, which the democrats had tried to shut down, making the US the world's #1 energy exporter.
- Halted the previous regime's attempts to outlaw sales of internal combustion autos, gas stoves etc.
- Forged a (sometimes bumpy) relationship with Elon Musk, perhaps the greatest and the most visionary entrepreneur in human history.
- Named Jared Isaacman as NASA Administrator
- Just signed an EO to create a United States Space Academy
Not too shabby... Again, things that history will remember. President Trump will almost certainly go down as one of our more consequential presidents.

Oh boy! Space Force! lol I forgot all about that achievement. So what has SF accomplished in the past few years? Anything at all?
RE: What will be Trump's legacy? - Syne - Aug 29, 2026
Space Force took over the duties of the Air Force Space Command, and continues that mission and operations but with a more focused and dedicated branch of military.

In other words it doesn't do squat because our govt space branch is already NASA.

Maybe try looking it up and educating yourself. 9_9

No..I'm in a discussion forum to discuss, not to look up things on Google and answer my own questions.

Best way to disabuse yourself of your own misconceptions is to learn for yourself, especially when you may find other individuals suspect or antagonistic.
Well, ignorance is bliss. 9_9
Maybe Yaz has the patience to hold your hand.
