   Long but a good read.   
      
   "WOW – A Comprehensive List of Trump’s Accomplishments This Term Shows   
   Miraculous Results"   
      
      
      
      
      
   "Here is a list of President Trump’s accomplishments this term.   
   This list, prepared by Real Political Data on Twitter, is outstanding,   
   not only for the effort in putting this together but also for the length   
   of this list of incredible work accomplished by President Trump and his   
   Administration in his third term.   
      
   (Here is a partial list.)   
      
   We’re through the first 12 months of Trump’s second term, and to say it’s   
   been more controversial than his first term would be a massive   
   understatement. Especially within the MAGA base. For many Trump   
   supporters, they would call Trump’s second term as the best of any   
   President in modern history. But at the same time many have been   
   extremely critical of the administration, with some saying it’s been a   
   disappointment, failure, whatever word you want to call it.   
   Now let’s be clear, the administration hasn’t been perfect and they’ve   
   had some critical mistakes that will be mentioned when we get to that,   
   but some of the current narratives surrounding the Trump administration   
   are not only an exaggeration, but in some areas a complete fabrication   
   and not based on anything remotely real. So as you can probably tell, I   
   have been (mostly) in support of Trump’s second term, and while I will be   
   harsh with my words at times when I think the administration does   
   something bad, I believe that the administration hasn’t had a proper   
   defense written by really anyone. So we’re going to give an accurate   
   assessment of the administration, and go over major criticisms, and see   
   if they hold up or not.   
   Promises   
   So in the first part of this series, we’re going to start with a major   
   criticism that Trump has had levied against him, which is the idea that   
   he’s breaking his promises and not doing what he promised to do on the   
   campaign trail. We’re not going decide if these are good or not, just   
   merely if he followed through with them. Now, before we can dissect his   
   promises, we have to properly identify what we will actually be looking   
   at because some people certainly have a very broad interpretation of what   
   constitutes a campaign promise or not. For the sake of this article, we   
   will be looking solely at the official campaign promises listed on his   
   platform page on his campaign website and in particular the full document   
   linked on the page. This will certainly upset some people, because   
   there’s certain things not explicitly mentioned in the platform that some   
   people insist are core campaign promises. Namely the release of the   
   Epstein files, which has undoubtedly become one of the biggest dividing   
   points within the MAGA movement. But the issue with this is it becomes   
   incredibly hard to tell what to even include as a core campaign promise,   
   and what the official position is since you can take what Trump said   
   about the Epstein files in the interviews so many different ways, you   
   cannot really gauge for sure what he for supported. And this applies for   
   other niche promises Trump might’ve made during an interview or a speech.   
   Meanwhile, the platform on the website is clearly in black and white what   
   Trump is promising to do and was intended to be the core of Trump’s   
   agenda. Meaning we have an objective baseline to judge Trump on and not   
   some weird interpretation of what he said. But don’t worry, we will   
   tackle those other issues like MAHA, Epstein Files, and other things   
   later in the series. We just for now are going look at what’s in black   
   and white that we can objectively say was the core of his platform.   
   With that out of the way, this was the official platform Trump had back   
   in 2024:   
   Complete the border wall   
   Shift federal law enforcement to immigration enforcement   
   Use advanced technology to monitor and secure the border

   Strict/extreme vetting to exclude Christian-hating communists, Marxists,   
   socialists, jihadists, or sympathizers   
   Cut federal funding to sanctuary cities/jurisdictions and require local   
   cooperation with ICE   
   Prioritize merit-based immigration and end chain migration

   speech and human flourishing   
   Cut costly and burdensome regulations (reinstate Trump-era deregulation)   
   Expand space industry (manufacturing in near-Earth orbit, return to Moon,   
   onward to Mars, commercial partnerships)   
   Open limited federal lands for new home construction   
   Promote homeownership via tax incentives and support for first-time   
   buyers   
   Create drastically more affordable alternatives to traditional four-year   
   college degrees   
   Increase healthcare transparency, choice, and competition; expand access   
   to new affordable options   
   Restore stability to ensure long-term sustainability of Social Security   
   Strengthen Medicare   
   Increase focus on chronic disease prevention, long-term care, benefit   
   flexibility, and primary care   
   Shift resources to at-home senior care   
   Overturn disincentives causing care worker shortages   
   Support unpaid family caregivers via tax credits and reduced red tape   
   End teacher tenure and adopt merit pay   
   Allow various publicly supported educational models   
   Universal school choice in every state (expand 529 accounts, support   
   homeschooling equally)   
   Emphasize project-based learning, work experience, and career training   
   programs   
   Overhaul school discipline standards and immediate suspension of violent   
   students   
   Restore and enforce parental rights in education (including stopping   
   race-based discrimination)   
   Defund schools engaging in political indoctrination
