[Bias Alert] 7 Trump moves the media IGNORED

While the mainstream media continues its temper tantrum over President Trump’s tweets, the White House has been busy getting things done.

LEAKED: Shocking video could land Obama in jail? [sponsored]

Here are 10 accomplishments the president has done, that the media largely ignored —



#1: June 30th: The “Securing our Agriculture and Food Act”

What’s more important, a tweet or protecting the nation’s food sources? Fortunately, Trump and his Congressional allies thought a putting protections in place to ensure the safety of America’s food sources had priority and passed the “Securing our Agriculture and Food Act.”

LEAKED: Shocking video could land Obama in jail? [sponsored]

The Act adds “coordination of Department of Homeland Security efforts related to food, agriculture, and veterinary defense against terrorism” to Title V of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Not a word from media about this… perhaps their mouths were full.



#2: June 30th: The National Space Council is back

In addition to “Securing our Agriculture and Food Act” on June 30th, Trump signed an executive order to revive the National Space Council, after it stopped functioning in 1993.


Sponsored: Entitled snowflakes SHOCKED at what’s in this video

The Council advises the president regarding national space policy and strategy.



#3: June 23rd: President Trump signed the “Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017.”

This law establishes a new office, the “Office of Accountability and Whistleblower Protection.”

Sponsored: The unpublished Bible secret that no documentary will touch…

The function of the office is to ensure increased accountability for senior level VA employees, reduce benefits or fire VA employees convicted of crimes, and protect whistleblowers from retaliation.



#4: June 15th: President Trump signs an Executive Order to expand apprenticeships in America.

Features of this order include expansion of apprenticeship programs, improving Workforce Development Programs that work, and eliminating programs that don’t.

Sponsored: Where Hillary really was on election night



#5: May 31st: Nothing messes up a narrative that Trump is a racist like a couple of proclamations acknowledging the contributions of people of color to our country.

Perhaps this was the reason the media said nothing of the proclamations that June 2017 is both National Caribbean-American Heritage Month and African-American Music Appreciation Month.

Sponsored: How to legally have ‘military-grade’ gear in your home



#6: May 4th: In a move that no doubt infuriated the media into silence, President Trump signed an executive order “Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty.”

This order does everything the left hates, like requiring government agencies respect religious and political speech.

Sponsored: 743-year secret uncovered in ancient Rome



#7: May 1st: Fact — some departments in the federal government are still using floppy disks. No Democrats seem concerned, this may explain why the establishment of the “American Technology Council” garnered little media attention.

The Council was put in place “to promote the secure, efficient, and economical use of information technology to achieve its missions.”

Sponsored: Is Hillary DRUNK in this video?



The media is willfully and intentionally ignoring the accomplishment of the Trump Administration while filling TV, airwaves, and newspapers with issues of little consequence to the average American.

Do the American people care about Trump’s tweets or protecting the United States’ food supply, cyberspace, and religious liberty?

Sponsored: PROOF Obama was our worst president

It’s already clear what the mainstream media cares about.

I checked the BBC article, everything they said were factual. I gave you a chance on the other page to list all Trump's accomplishments that he promised on the campaign that were done and you failed at that.


Do you fail to realise that the executive orders Trump signed off on were already reported by several media outlets you consider to be 'fake news'? It was already assessed in detailed and it showed that nothing major was done.


Read the first line and your blogger who you copied and pasted that from spelled tweak as "tweet" for the "Securing our Agriculture and Food Act" section. That act just piggybacks as a tweak to the already done Homeland Security Act of 2002. Nothing major but simply adds a little responsibility to the Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Health Affairs.

Listen, you're keen on wasting my time while you lazily copy and paste without reading your own articles. You even copy and pasted the advertisements off that site. I already know the executive orders signed by Trump and there was none that was major to legislation but just routine stuff.

GETTING GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE WAY: President Donald J. Trump has done more to stop the Government from interfering in the lives of Americans in his first 100 days than any other President in history.

President Trump has signed 13 Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions in his first 100 days, more than any other President. These resolutions nullified unnecessary regulations and block agencies from reissuing them.

Since CRA resolutions were introduced under President Clinton, they’ve been used only once, under President George W. Bush.

The Wall Street Journal editorial: “So far the Trump Administration is a welcome improvement, rolling back more regulations than any President in history.”

TAKING EXECUTIVE ACTION: In office, President Trump has accomplished more in his first 100 days than any other President since Franklin Roosevelt

.
President Obama signed 19 executive orders during his first 100 days.
President George W. Bush signed 11 executive orders during his first 100 days.
President Clinton signed 13 executive orders during his first 100 days.
President George H.W. Bush signed 11 executive orders during his first 100 days.
President Reagan signed 18 executive orders during his first 100 days.
President Carter signed 16 executive orders during his first 100 days.
President Nixon signed 15 executive orders during his first 100 days.
President Johnson signed 26 executive orders during his first 100 days.
President Kennedy signed 23 executive orders during his first 100 days.
President Eisenhower signed 20 executive orders during his first 100 days.
President Truman signed 25 executive orders during his first 100 days.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed 9 executive orders during his first 100 days.


A SLEW OF LEGISLATION SIGNED: Despite historic Democrat obstructionism, President Trump has worked with Congress to pass more legislation in his first 100 days than any President since Truman.

President Trump has worked with Congress to enact 28 laws during the first 100 days of his Administration.

President Obama enacted 11 laws during his first 100 days.

President George W. Bush enacted 7 laws during his first 100 days.
President Clinton enacted 24 laws during his first 100 days.

Promises Kept, and a Compromise

One of Trump’s most significant achievements so far has been the nomination and confirmation of Neil Gorsuch as a justice on the Supreme Court. But it did not come easy.

Democrats filibustered debate on Gorsuch’s confirmation, provoking Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to invoke the "nuclear option" and change procedural rules so that a simple majority of votes (51) rather than a supermajority (60) would be needed to end debate and move toward a final confirmation vote.

Trump also moved on his pledge to sign a requirement that for every new regulation, two be eliminated, claiming that many regulations are wasteful and hinder businesses’ growth.

On the economic front, Trump directed the United States’ withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and successfully intervened to keep a Carrier furnace-manufacturing plant in Indiana rather than it relocating to Mexico (though jobs saved were fewer than what Trump claimed).

About a month into his presidency, Trump also nullified Obama-era gun control order that required the Social Security Administration to share records of individuals who get Disability Insurance benefits, information that would eventually show up on their background checks when they sought to buy guns. The Trump administration said it was getting rid of that rule because it "could endanger the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens."

Trump has made good on a campaign promise to place a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying for foreign governments. The ban is for executive branch appointees but includes a provision that would allow the president or a designee to waive the restriction.

We’ve rated as Compromise a similar promise to ban White House and Congressional leaders from lobbying government for five years. As a candidate, Trump said this would be reached through legislation. No such legislation has passed, but he signed an executive order to stop White House officials from lobbying. However, that restriction only applies to their former agency, and congressional officials are still not beholden to the five-year ban.

Promises In the Works

Immigration

Through an executive order, Trump pushed forward one of his signature immigration promises: a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump insists Mexico will end up footing the bill, but the money still isn’t there, and the sovereign nation has not agreed to pay. It’s still to be determined if Congress will grant Trump $999 million for the planning, design and construction of the first installment of the wall (his supplemental budget request for fiscal year 2017), or the $2.6 billion requested for fiscal 2018, which would cover costs for the wall and other border security.

Trump also has expanded deportation priorities, giving immigration officials a longer list of categories of people who can be removed from the country. He also directed departments within his administration to enforce existing sanctions against countries that won’t take back their nationals.

Another executive order also paved way for the hiring of an additional 15,000 employees to carry out immigration laws. Trump’s order authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to hire 10,000 more U.S. Customs and Immigration officers and 5,000 more border patrol agents.

Trump has also spoken in favor of a merit-based immigration system and has met with Republican lawmakers who have introduced legislation that mirror his goal to limit legal immigration. A new "Buy American and Hire American" executive order directs his Cabinet to suggest reforms for the H-1B visa program that allows employers to temporarily hire foreign workers, advancing his promise to hire American workers first.

Defense

Before getting to the White House Trump did not want to talk about a plan to defeat ISIS because he feared it would tip off terrorists. But once he became president, he requested the Defense Department secretary create a preliminary draft of that plan. Trump received a framework in late February.

Trump has also sought money to rebuild what he’s called a "depleted military." His budget proposal for the Defense Department asks for an additional $54 billion above the budget cap, pushing forward his promise to end the defense sequester.

On an international scale, Trump has not backed away from his promise to get NATO allies to increase their defense spending. He’s highlighted this issue in meetings with Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO secretary general and with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Other issues

The United States, Mexico and Canada still have not formally sat down for talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, but Trump’s administration is working on procedural steps to get there, his Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross has said.

In contrast to the Obama administration that opposed the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline amid environmental concerns, Trump favors the pipeline, saying it would create 28,000 jobs. Within his first week in office, Trump signed a memorandum to allow the operator, TransCanada to re-submit a permit application for the pipeline to cross from Western Canada to the United States and transport more than 800,000 barrels of oil a day. The State Department issued that permit March 24.

Trump is also making headway on promises to scale back the Education Department and the Environmental Protection Agency, as his fiscal year 2018 budget request for both is 13 percent and 31 percent, respectively, below last year’s levels.

President Trump will have signed 30 executive orders during his first 100 days.

And yet not one of those signed executive present a major legislative. NOT ONE.

Compared to the previous administrations who had landmark legislation as Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

Folks like you get dizzy and weak in the knees over quantity but fail to assess the quality. You have executive orders as simple as renaming a building. Many were just roll backs from the previous administration too.

In all everything Trump signed amounts to a mere 133 pages and you think it's so grand because it's hyped out.

Even the wall you listed but you leave out that he wasn't able to secure Congress approval for the budget.


Trump is a politician. He's a president. How about you start referring to him like a president instead of lusting like horny groupie. Yeah?

Since this is about copy and pasting:

Cuba thaw no more (Partially delivered)

Before: Mr Trump said in September 2016 that he would reverse the deal President Barack Obama had struck to reopen diplomatic relations and improve trade.

After: As president, he told an audience in Miami that he was "cancelling the Obama administration's one-sided deal." But in reality, he has only rolled back certain parts, placing restrictions on travel and business.

_________________________


Obamacare (Zero progress)

Before: One of Mr Trump's trademark rally pledges was to repeal and replace Obamacare - his predecessor's attempt to extend healthcare to the estimated 15% of the country who are not covered.

It is widely hated by Republicans, who say the law imposes too many costs on business, with many describing it as a "job killer" and decrying the reforms - officially the Affordable Care Act - as an unwarranted intrusion into the affairs of private businesses and individuals.

After: Within two days of his election he softened his approach, saying he wanted to keep the "strongest assets".

But the Republican healthcare plan came to a juddering halt in the Senate, where it did not even have enough support to bring it to the floor for a vote. The president backed it but it was mauled by doctors' groups, hospitals and other parts of the medical industry, mainly because of its deep cuts to Medicaid, the health programme for the poor, and fears that millions would lose insurance.

_________________________


A border wall paid by Mexico (Zero progress)

Before: His vow to build a wall along the US-Mexican border was one of the most controversial of Mr Trump's campaign promises.

Mr Trump also insisted that Mexico would pay for it.

After: Mexico maintains it will never pay for it, and even the president has conceded that the US will have to pay up front and then seek reimbursement in some way.

The US Congress is exploring funding options for the wall, but many Republicans will be unhappy about footing a bill which could rise to $21.5bn (£17.2bn), according to a Department of Homeland Security internal report.

That's much higher than Mr Trump's estimated price tag of $12bn (£9.6bn).

There are also landowners who protest against a "government land grab" - and a lawsuit from an environmental group launched in April.

"We're building the wall," he said in February. "In fact it's going to start very soon."

_________________________

Ban on Muslims (Zero progress)

Before: Mr Trump initially promised to ban all Muslims entering the US - a "total and complete" shutdown should remain until the US authorities "can figure out what's going on".

But he switched to "extreme vetting" after he became the party's presidential candidate.

After: As president, he has introduced two travel bans, which have both become ensnarled by legal challenges. The second was a slightly watered-down version of the first, but a judge in Hawaii said barring people from six mainly Muslim countries, even temporarily, violated constitutional protections against religious discrimination. Another judge in Maryland cited Trump campaign statements as evidence.

President Trump has railed against "judicial overreach" and hinted that he may take the case to the Supreme Court, but has said little on the matter in a round of media interviews this week.

_________________________

Ditching Nato (Ditched that election promise)

Before: Mr Trump repeatedly questioned the military alliance's purpose, calling it "obsolete". One issue that bugged him was whether members were pulling their weight and "paying their bills". In one New York Times interview in July 2016, he even hinted that the US would not come to the aid of a member invaded by Russia.

After: But as he hosted Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the White House in April, the US president said the threat of terrorism had underlined the alliance's importance. "I said it [Nato] was obsolete," Mr Trump said. "It's no longer obsolete."

_________________________


China as currency manipulator (Ditched that election promise)

Before: Mr Trump repeatedly pledged to label Beijing a "currency manipulator" on his first day in office, during an election campaign when he also accused the Asian powerhouse of "raping" the US. China has been accused of suppressing the yuan to make its exports more competitive with US goods.

After: He told the Wall Street Journal in April that China had not been "currency manipulators" for some time and had actually been trying to prevent the yuan from further weakening.

_________________________

Torture (Ditched that election promise)

Before: Mr Trump said he would approve waterboarding "immediately" and "make it also much worse", adding "torture works".

After: But after his inauguration, the president said he would defer to the opposing belief, espoused by Defence Secretary James Mattis and CIA director Mike Pompeo.

Mr Pompeo said during his confirmation hearing said he would "absolutely not" reinstate such methods.

_________________________


Prosecuting Hillary Clinton (Ditched that election promise)
Before: "Lock her up" was one of the main rallying cries of Mr Trump's supporters.

They wanted to see Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in prison over the use of her private email server while secretary of state.

And Mr Trump was more than willing to back their calls for, at the very least, a fresh investigation. During the debates, he told Mrs Clinton: "If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation."

After: The president-elect's tone changed almost as soon as he had won, describing the woman he had said was "such a nasty woman" as someone the country owed "a debt of gratitude". Later, he said he "hadn't given [the prosecution] a lot of thought" and had other priorities.

On 22 November, Mr Trump's spokeswoman said he would not pursue a further investigation - to help Mrs Clinton "heal".
