Failure to report does not mean failure!

This best describes the 'journalism' applied during the first 100 days
of the Trump presidency.

Rather than review the entirety of what occurred the media ignored
what was achieved, and cherry picked failures without mentioning
that in the political world it takes two willing partners, leaving ,
President Trump to 'dance' by himself.

But, for moment put aside the 'never Trump' Democrats refusal
to work with him and the Republicans who are more consumed
with proving they 'matter', than having legislative successes.

Look at what President Trump did with the stroke of a pen,
nearly forty executive orders or memos, commitments to his
campaign promises of helping American workers, defending
our nation and ending Washington's counter-productive abuse
of its power.

1. A major promise was to get out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership
trade deal. Trump submitted the notice we will begin withdrawing,
even as Congress remains anxious to continue globalist desires.

2. Another major campaign promise, completion of the Keystone
and Dakota pipelines, both dormant for more than a decade, one
of Trump's first Executive Orders. This step led the pipeline
contractor to cancel its $15 billion lawsuit against the United States
that was never reported!

Additionally, the Commerce Dept. was directed to maximize the
use of American steel on the project.

3. Addressing the newest entry in America's drug epidemic, Trump
issued an order creating a commission to combat Opioid addiction.

4. Executive orders to establish three DOJ task forces to fight drug
cartels, reduce violent crime and attacks against police.

Again, campaign promises fulfilled.

5. An order directing the Treasury secretary to review the 2010
Dodd-Frank regulatory law which has plagued financial institutions
since enacted.

6. Trump issued memorandum directing Secy of Defense to present
a plan within thirty days to defeat ISIS....his major security campaign
promise.

7. Also on security Trump authored two orders on borders security and
immigration enforcement: authorizing a border wall, ending funding to
sanctuary cities, adding 5000 more Border Patrol agents, ending 'catch-
release' policies of illegals, reinstating state-local enforcement partnerships.

As someone who spent his life in business President Trump saw what most
former presidents did not see or felt they could not effectively address.

Here are steps he has taken:

8. Order requiring every agency to establish a 'Regulatory Reform Task
Force' to evaluate regulations, and recommend rules for repeal or modification.

9. An order requiring two regulations to be abolished for each one introduced.

10. An order directing a "top-to-bottom" audit of the Executive Branch.

11. Memo to restructure the National Security Council and Homeland
Security Council.

12. An order revoking Obama-era executive orders on federal contracting.

13. Order to lengthen ban on administration officials working as lobbyists,
and lifetime ban on working for foreign govt.

14. Memorandum issued calling for 30-day review of military readiness.

15. Order imposing a hiring freeze to shrink size of govt, excluding the
military.

More on American workers:

16. Memo to order investigation on whether foreign steel is hurting
national security.

17. Order directing federal agencies to review H-1B visa programs,

18. Two orders on trade, one Commerce Dept. should report on
factors behind trade deficit and another increasing collection of
duties on imports.

19. Order for review of Clean Power Plan that restricts greenhouse
gas emissions at coal fired power plants.

20. Another campaign promise, reinstatement of ban on federal funds
to intl. groups that perform abortions or lobby to promote, and end
Planned Parenthood funding if it continues to perform abortions.

21.  Order to direct federal agencies to ease regulatory burdens of
Obamacare by waiving, deferring, exempting the is a fiscal burden
on states, individuals, health providers, recipients, etc.

22. Order to more Black college and university offices back to White
House from the Dept. of Education.

There were about one dozen more, but this demonstrates what President
Trump was able do with the authority of the presidency.

Next time you read how little President Trump has achieved, keep in
mind what the media does not consider achievements, preferring to
point to setbacks and polling numbers.
