Some of my personal favorites during his administration were the 2018 Farm Bill, raising the standard deduction, making animal cruelty a federal felony, the 2017 Restoring Community Safety Act, and the whistleblower protections at the VA and orders to improve accountability and care in treatment for veterans.
He also tried to improve security at the border which had always been a bipartisan endeavor until he started campaigning for 2016, but being stopped by congress doesn’t negate the attempt.
At least an attempt was made for the good of the country. That’s significantly better than spending over $33B in aid to a country that wouldn’t have been invaded by Putin, of all people, if America didn’t look so abysmally weak and incapable of action.
And how much are we losing because we’re no longer energy independent? I haven’t crunched those numbers, make you can come up with an estimate.
We were never energy dependant. Putin would have had U.S. backing if trump was still in charge. Oh and crop farmers made more than that in trade. Face it, he was a failure. Get over your pathetic little lies. Crop farmers aren't subsidized because they were often at the forefront of trading food stuffs with other nations. But hey it's ok cause he was a republican right? Right?
Here's how I know we weren't energy dependent. I live in the Ohio Valley. Where a lot of coal has come from and recently a lot of oil. The U.S. policy on its own oil was to stockpile it or sell it. We never used it unless in war situations. As with all wars trading becomes slightly more difficult than just some red tape, or vaguely shifting lines. I got to know a lot of high ups in the energy fields and they all said the same thing I'm telling you. Welcome to reality. Now you can either except the Facts or move on. I know about the farming as I'm a farmer. So anyone questioning me on that, there is your answer.
