Essay:Trump is a good President

Donald Trump is one of the most controversial and outspoken politicians in modern times. Few thought he would even win the Republican Party’s nomination, let alone the keys to the White House. Yet he did.

Unsurprisingly, Trump is not too popular on RationalWiki. This essay will attempt to outline the reasons why Trump is a good President and if even 1 RationalWiki user/reader tells me they will consider supporting Trump in the future, I will be happy.


 * Trump-Kim summit – the left often tries to criticise or downplay this, but there is no doubt that this is a major foreign policy achievement. Trump’s meeting with Kim Jong-un was the biggest diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea in 70 years. It showed that Trump’s tough stance with diplomacy was working.


 * Increasing military spending - Every strong nation needs a strong military. Under President Trump, the Senate passed a bill resulting in massive increase in military spending. Further more he has gone out of his way to try and persuade NATO members to keep to their 4% a year commitment.


 * Tackling illegal immigration - Another achievement is Trump’s successes in reducing illegal immigration. This also includes a tough stance on illegal and violent gangs such as MS-13.


 * Economic growth – Under Trump the economy has blossomed. . This can be seen in many different ways. GDP has grown by 2.3%. In 2016 growth had only been 1.5%. Between January 2017 and March 2018, the unemployment rate fell from 4.8% to 4.2%.


 * Cutting taxes – Cutting taxes is a common policy with centre-right and right-wing candidates/political parties. It is also well received amongst the general public. The reasons for this are obvious- they benefit everyone.  Since the tax cuts came into effect optimism for small businesses is at record highs and many companies announced that they would increase the bonuses for employees. This no doubt played a part in the growing economy as noted in the point above.

There are many, many more positive actions Donald Trump has made as President. Quite often the leftist media won’t report them but luckily the ratings for these ‘fake news’ organisations are on a downward trend as people cast them aside in favour of truth.
