How ironic, in a thread about taking credit for the achievements of others
24 other people invented the lightbulb before Edison was credited with it. His achievement was developing the invention.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Not to shit on your views, but some are plain wrong. I'm gonna fact check a lot of these as I'm bored at work. Not a Democrat or anti-trumper, just like to know facts. Plus, I think a little light hearted devils advocacy is needed instead of devolving to basic childlike insults.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]First one isn't done yet, but his actions with North Korea has resulted in talks with a US president for the first time ever:
I'd applaud and be amazed if this turns out well, I think Trumps being played. Putin's got Trumps dick in one hand and Kim's sneaking up behind him with the KY.[/FONT]
Lowest Black unemployment:
Could very well be a leftover from Obama era policies, but perhaps not, hard to verify this one.
Media smackdown:
Don't agree with the way he's going about it, but MSM (including Fox) need a good smack once in a while.
Stock market all time high:
While true, it was rising prior to his election. Also, hot markets aren't always a positive sign, just think back to 2008.
Lowest Latino unemployment:
[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Could very well be a leftover from Obama era policies, but perhaps not, hard to verify this one.
[/FONT]Economic growth:
Again hard to verify this, the economy was on it's way up prior to Trump as well.
Donates entire salary, first president in history:
This is not true at all, plus we don't know where he donated his salary do we? Both Herbert Hoover* and JFK** donated their entire salaries to charity while president, JFK even did it for the 14 years he was a congressman too.
Tax Bill cut - It was minor, but better than nothing:
I agree this was a good move for 1% of the country. Sadly most of us aren't in that percent isle.
Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the supreme court:
This guy seems pretty good so no qualms there.
Travel Ban - Widely unpopular but the US isn't having the troubles as say Germany for allowing refugees:
Not sure what to think on this one, compassion is a good thing, but can also be taken advantage of so...
Roll Back regulation - Trump signed an executive order cutting regulations for small businesses and moved forward with plans to repeal the Clean Power Plan: I know nothing about this so no comment.
Withdrawal from Paris climate deal - One of my fav's. Paris climate deal was proposing trillions of dollars, for .05 degree change over a hundred years.......And their models are constantly vastly wrong. Good job Trump!: Don't know enough about this to comment, but I don't like most French people I've met so fuck em.
Declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel - Another personal favorite, go Trump: I think this was a horrible idea and will propel the middle east into further turmoil.
Pulling out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership:
I'm personally annoyed by this as I live in a country very far from the US and it's a pain in the ass getting US made goods here. Though the TPPA seemed like a bad idea anyways.
Fighting — and further degrading — ISIS:
Sure but it's pretty hard to fight an idea and win, look at the war on drugs. And we beat ISIS, who comes next?
Roll-back of some of Obama’s Cuba policies:
I love me a Cuban cigar, so fuck this.
Coal production saved:
Who gives a fuck about coal, it's 2018 man. At least Bush was onto something with the Oil in the ME, no country needs Coal for it's Energy supply, it's an outdated industry. Plus, black lung and shit.
Moving to repeal Obama’s net neutrality rules:
So as a freedom loving American you don't want a free internet too?
Seems like one of Trumps biggest accomplishments is that he's divided Americans more than ever and I can't see in anyway how that's positive.
Maybe we should all blaze one up and remember why were here in the first place?

I am the peace and love generation.
I have children.
You just denounced hate and proceeded to do so.
Am I to take this as satirical performance art?
I assure you that the hate is real.
To feed it for amusement whilst decrying those who do as well seems disgusting in itself.
I hope you love and enjoy children.
Maybe then you can respect what is taking place.
I implore you... How are you lumping everyone in together?
Are you the only one that is truly not hating?
I love everyone.
Ass.

Some might make your argument for some on my list, but how can you say that about others? For example, first president to donate his salary. That is pretty cool isn't it? Certainly something all presidents were capable of, but only Trump has done it. Nobody forced him either.
It would be a lot cooler if Trump wasn't using the presidency to enrich the Trump Organization. His hotel in DC is constantly full of foreign dignitaries and his sons and son in law use political influence for the business.

TRUMP GOLF COUNT: 96
Cost to Taxpayer: At least $58,874,243
now that's an accomplishment...

Links to porn sites and gratuitous mundane profanity will not be tolerated...so will be/or have been removed.
If you wish to debate, then at least debate like an adult and not an adolescent.

So how is your social experiment working out EasyGoing?
well I can tell you now that the thread has earned the highly coveted 1 Star rating by Zagat & ICMag members alike.......
If this thread is some sort of social experiment, then all it has proved is that certain members do not have the ability to debate a topic sensibly as an adult because they constantly revert to mundane name-calling and references to sick pornography to try and make their argument...
As I have said before, I don't enjoy censoring what is written on this site. But when all some of you can come up with is ridiculous nonsense that has no real worth to read and learn from, then what is the point of having it here?

I agree.
I pretty sure that the goal was achieved.
I'm curious as to what it was.

just smoke and mirrors....keeping the masses divided and impotent...
I've been a joker in this thread myself
tRump did NOT accomplish those things, the thread & OP can't really be taken seriously, I think it's a troll job.
In succession the stock market has risen for each of the past 5 presidents, so it's only natural that it would rise under dumpster boy as well.
The OP is reading off of Sarah Sanders GOP handout sheets.
it is PURE BS!!!
Except that I go to see my shrink today (BIG surprise there huh???) I've got nothing but time to research the rest of those GOP claims.
I'm almost certain the OP would rather see me make a few jokes; and again, for starters, that list is a joke in itself.
I can tell you this though. tRump claimed he wouldn't be a president who golfed (97 days total so far
) as he'd be too busy to leave the White House. HIS words, he campaigned on that line of bullshirt.You have to know that the claims made by the OP here have facts and figures so convoluted to try to sway them in Dumpster boys favor, none of that can be taken at face value. NONE.
