2017
Legislation signed, 2017
  • March and April, 2017—President Trump and the U.S. Senate approved Montenegro's accession into NATO, over Russia's objections.[1][2] (Montenegro officially joined NATO on June 5, 2017[3])
  • August 2, 2017—President Trump signed a bill into law that, despite its flaws, enacted additional sanctions against Russia, Iran, and North Korea.[4]
Executive actions, 2017
President Trump was observed early in his presidency to have adopted a strong[5] and unpredictable[6] foreign policy and was described as having made a "consequential impact" on foreign policy early on.[7] This was as opposed to Barack Obama's foreign policy.[8] As the North Korean vice-foreign minister stated, Trump's foreign policy was "more vicious and more aggressive" than that of Barack Obama.[9] President Trump also shook the global establishment through his foreign policy.[10] President Trump implemented his America First philosophy into his foreign policy,[11][12] and he emphasized the issue of sovereignty.[13][14]

By May 2017, Trump had "hit most, if not all, of the notes he wanted to on a broad range of issues" and was more ambitious than Obama had been at the same point in his presidency.[15] Even the liberal CNN admitted that President Trump's foreign policy achieved several achievements in 2017.[16]

  • The Trump Administration took a tougher stance against Iran.[17] Here are some of the actions taken against the country:
    • February 3, 2017—After Iran tested a ballistic missile in apparent violation of a UN Security Council resolution, the Trump Administration instituted unilateral economic sanctions against 13 Iranian individuals and 12 companies.[18][19]
    • May 17, 2017—The Trump Administration imposed additional sanctions on an Iranian national, an Iranian company, a Chinese national, and three Chinese companies (because of Chinese dealings related to Iran's nuclear program).[20]
    • July 18, 2017—Despite recertifying the Iran nuclear deal the day earlier,[21] the Trump Administration imposed sanctions on 18 Iranian individuals and entities for supporting the nation's non-nuclear weapon programs and support for terrorists.[22]
    • September 14, 2017—While extending Iran sanctions relief in accordance with the Iran Deal, the Trump Administration imposed new sanctions on eleven Iranian people and companies suspected of supporting the country's ballistic missile program or being involved in cyber-attacks.[23]
    • October 13, 2017—President Trump, in a strongly-worded speech,[24] announced that he would decertify Iran's compliance with the Iran nuclear deal (known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA) and would give Congress time, under the threat of leaving the agreement entirely,[25] to revise the agreement to make it tougher against Iran.[26] The Trump Administration announced a new and tougher comprehensive strategy against Iran,[26] and the Treasury Department enacted terrorism-related sanctions on Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.[26][27]
    • December 29–31, 2017—In stark contrast to Obama before him,[28] as well as the UN and European leaders concurrently,[29] President Trump and his administration did not hesitate to show his full support for Iranian citizens protesting the Iranian governmental regime.[30] The protests – as well as President Trump's support – extended into 2018.
  • Despite claims by Democrats and other left-wingers that Trump's presidential campaign "colluded" with Russia, the Trump Administration took several tough actions against Russia, including some that even the Obama Administration avoided.[31] Here are some of the actions taken against the country:
    • February 2017—Two U.S. government-run media outlets began broadcasting in Russian in an attempt to counter Russian propaganda.[32]
    • April 21, 2017—The Trump Administration refused to issue waivers to any companies which wanted to do business with Russia, which was under economic sanctions, including ExxonMobil, which had applied for a waiver.[33] The day earlier, the Trump Administration announced, in strong language, it was implementing the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, which blacklisted certain Russian citizens.[34]
    • June 20, 2017—The same day President Trump met with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on 38 Russian individuals and entities involved in the conflict with Ukraine.[35]
  • The Trump Administration took several actions against North Korea. The administration took a tougher stance on North Korea than its predecessors, which was bringing positive results by October 2017.[36] Here are some of the Trump Administration's actions against North Korea:
    • Early in Trump's presidency, he and his administration took a much tougher tone against North Korea than his predecessors.[37] In one instance,[38] President Trump stated that North Korea "will be met with fire, fury and frankly power, the likes of which the world has never seen before" if they did not stop threatening the U.S,[39] and Trump stated the next day that his comment may not have been tough enough.[40] The Trump Administration chose to include a military option among a list of potential strategies in United States policy towards North Korea.[41] North Korea had threatened to attack the U.S. territory of Guam, but after Trump's remarks it backed off from the threat.[42]
    • While the deployment was first announced during the Obama Administration, the Trump Administration confirmed it would continue the plans to – and subsequently did – deploy the THAAD missile defense system to South Korea despite China's strong objections.[43] THAAD was first used on May 14, 2017,[44] and it was successfully tested on July 11, 2017,[45] and July 30, 2017.[46] THAAD was fully deployed on September 7, 2017.[47]
    • August 5, 2017—The United States successfully and unanimously passed a resolution in the UN Security Council that established tough sanctions against North Korea that would cut the country's export revenue by a third.[48]
    • August 22, 2017—The Trump Administration implemented sanctions on 16 Chinese and Russian individuals and entities for doing business with North Korea.[49]
    • September 11, 2017—The United States successfully and unanimously passed another UN Security Council resolution that established new sanctions against North Korea.[50]
    • September 21, 2017—President Trump signed an executive order giving the Treasury Department additional authority to sanction entities doing business and "significant trade" with North Korea, including foreign banks.[51]
    • November 20, 2017—The Trump Administration officially designated North Korea a state sponsor of terror.[52] The next day, the Treasury Department enacted additional sanctions on entities doing business with North Korea, including 13 Chinese and North Korean organizations.[53] These actions increased pressure on North Korea to end its nuclear and missile programs.[54]
  • The Trump Administration took actions against Cuba, reversing several – though not all – Obama-era policies by November 2017:[55]
    • June 16, 2017—During a speech attended by opponents of Cuba's Communist regime,[56] President Trump partially reversed Obama's pro-Cuba policies by restricting U.S. travel to Cuba and prohibit financial transactions that benefit the Cuban military.[57] The Trump Administration implemented the restrictions on November 9, 2017.[58] In addition, Trump visibly took a much stronger position on Cuba to repatriate American criminal fugitives than Obama had done.[59]
    • November 1, 2017—The Trump Administration chose to defend the U.S. embargo on Cuba at the United Nations and vote against resolutions condemning the embargo, reversing an Obama Administration policy.[60]
  • The Trump Administration adopted a more critical stance toward the United Nations than the Obama Administration.[61] Here are some of the actions the Trump Administration took related to the UN:
    • March 2017—After the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia authored a destructive and anti-Semitic[62] report against Israel, the report and agency were strongly criticized by the United States and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, and the executive director of the commission resigned in response.[63]
    • September 19, 2017—President Trump gave a speech[64] at the United Nations General Assembly in which he strongly advocated for conservative policies and ideals. He strongly advocated for his philosophy of America First[12][65] and for national sovereignty in general,[66][65][67][13] stating that "as President of the United States I will always put America first," and that "the nation-state remains the best vehicle for elevating the human condition," among other strong statements.[12] He advocated for keeping refugees in their home countries.[68] He attacked the ideology of socialism.[69] He strongly criticized the Iran nuclear deal, calling it an "embarrassment."[70] To the shock of the mainstream media,[71] he notably criticized North Korea and its leader, calling him "Rocket Man" and threatening to "totally destroy" the Asian country.[72] He criticized the UN for letting governments that commit human rights abuses sit on the U.N. Human Rights Council.[73] Trump stated that he would "stop radical Islamic terrorism," not backing down from using the politically incorrect term.[74] The speech marked a shift toward a realist and pro-national sovereignty foreign policy.[67] The next day, Vice President Mike Pence also spoke at the UN, criticizing the institution for its numerous problems[75] and calling out "radical Islamic terrorism."[76] The same day that Pence spoke, First Lady Melania Trump spoke out for protecting children,[77] stating that it is ultimately the parents' responsibility to do so and to raise their children to be moral and love their country,[78] and she quoted from the Bible.[79]
    • October 12, 2017—The Trump Administration announced the U.S. would withdraw from UNESCO because of its anti-Israel bias.[80]
    • December 2, 2017—The Trump Administration pulled out of the Global Compact on Migration, a United Nations agreement on migration, due to it infringing on U.S. sovereignty and its immigration policies.[81] U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley stated that "our decisions on immigration policies must always be made by Americans and Americans alone," and that "the global approach in the New York Declaration is simply not compatible with U.S. sovereignty."[81]
    • December 24, 2017—UN Ambassador Nikki Haley announced that the United States would cut its contribution to the UN's 2018–19 budget by $285 million.[82]
  • The Trump Administration successfully secured the release of several American prisoners held in foreign countries that the Obama Administration did not or could not release.[83] It played a large role in successfully helping prevent CIA officer Sabrina de Sousa from being extradited to Italy, with the decision coming on March 1, 2017.[84] On April 21, 2017, Egypt released an Egyptian-American who had been detained for three years.[85] Additionally, according to the father of Otto Warmbier, who was held hostage in North Korea and then released in June 2017, the Obama Administration did not do enough to secure his release while the Trump Administration did secure his release.[86] In November 2017, China released three UCLA basketball players from custody for alleged shoplifting after President Trump asked the president of China to release them.[87]
  • On March 18, 2017, the Trump Administration successfully forced the G-20 to remove its opposition to protectionism and temper its support for free trade,[88][89] and any mention of climate change[90][91] from its joint statement. Later, in April 2017, the Trump Administration refused to sign the G7 joint statement because the other nations could not agree to include support for nuclear and fossil fuels without support for the Paris climate agreement. The G7, thus, went without a joint statement.[92][93]

President Trump being briefed on April 6, 2017 concerning a military strike on Syria.

  • April 6, 2017—After the Syrian government used chemical weapons on its people, President Trump ordered a one-time airstrike against a Syrian air base, firing 60 cruise missiles at it.[94] The U.S. destroyed about 20 Syrian jet planes and caused extremely heavy damage on the base.[95] Defense Secretary James Mattis stated the attacks destroyed 20% of Syria's operational aircraft.[96] As even the New York Times reported, Trump's action was a show of U.S. strength, and it was in stark contrast to Obama, as Trump used surprise and speed in the attacks.[97] World leaders supported the strong action.[98] This was the first direct military action the U.S. took against the Assad regime.[99] On April 23, 2017, in response to the chemical attacks, the Trump Administration put sanctions on 271 employees of Syria’s Scientific Studies and Research Center, which supported the nation's chemical weapons program.[100] On June 18, 2017, the United States shot down a Syrian aircraft for the first time,[101] and in response to Russia's warnings, stated that it would do whatever in its national and military interests.[102]


President Trump welcomed in Saudi Arabia, May 2017.



President Trump visits the Western Wall, May 2017.

  • May 2017—President Trump embarked on an ambitious foreign trip, where he, among other accomplishments, visited the heartlands of the three Abrahamic religions, challenging the Muslim world to get serious about defeating Islamic terrorism, challenging the European leaders to contribute more to NATO, and isolating Iran.[15][103][104][105] While in the Middle East, Trump, unlike Obama, took a strong stance against Iran and strengthened the United States's traditional alliances with Israel and the Arab nations,[106] bringing them closer together.[107] His trip was described as one that "flipped traditional U.S. foreign policy upside down."[108] Here are some highlights and additional achievements of the trip:
    • May 20–21, 2017—President Trump visited Saudi Arabia, the first country he visited abroad as U.S. President. His trip to the country was a major event that clearly broke from foreign policy set by Barack Obama.[109] He received a very warm welcome[110] – much warmer than what Obama (under whom relations became estranged[111]) received – with King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud greeting Trump at the tarmac, something Obama did not receive.[112] Unlike Obama, Trump did not bow to the Saudi king,[112][113] and he did not embark on an "apology tour" like Obama.[114] Trump signed a $110 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia, with another $350 billion of arms for the following 10 years.[115] American and Saudi businesses signed similar agreements on the same day, with billions of dollars to be invested in the U.S.[116] President Trump also gave a major speech[117] to leaders of 50 Islamic world leaders challenging them to fight Islamic terror.[118] Trump gave a blunt speech, stronger than Obama's,[119] and he did not mention democracy or human rights, rather speaking about "good vs. evil," something his Islamic audience was more receptive to.[120] (despite this, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates agreed to donate $100 million to a women entrepreneurs fund proposed by Ivanka Trump[121]). The U.S. and Saudi Arabia strengthened counterterrorism ties by enacting joint sanctions on two "global terrorists,"[122] and Saudi Arabia opened a center to combat Islamic terrorism.[123] (according to President Trump, the commitment to combating Islamic terrorism was already being seen when several Arab nations cut ties with Qatar due to its support of Islamic terrorism and Iran;[124] later, Saudi Arabia changed its royal succession plan, possibly in an attempt to please President Trump[125]).
    • May 22–23, 2017—The second country President Trump visited was Israel, and his trip marked the first time a U.S. president visited the country on their first foreign trip.[126] He visited the country on the 50th anniversary of the Six-Day War and Israel's capture of Jerusalem.[127] His flight from Saudi Arabia to Israel was one of the rare flights taken between the two countries and the first of a U.S. president to fly from the former to the latter.[128] A major suicide bombing occurred in the United Kingdom during the visit, and Trump denied recognition to the attacker[129] and other Islamic terrorists by calling them "losers."[130] Although not moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem as hoped,[131] President Trump became the first sitting U.S. President to visit the Western Wall,[132] and the Administration stated that the Trump was in "Jerusalem, Israel."[133] President Trump did not mention anything about a Palestinian state, a two-state solution, or about Israeli settlements.[134] It was also reported that the U.S. increased defense funding for Israel by $75 million.[135]
    • May 25, 2017—At the 2017 NATO summit, President Trump strongly stated his position that the other NATO member states should meet their expected contributions to the organization.[136]
    • May 26–27, 2017—At the 2017 G7 conference, President Trump focused on terrorism rather than climate change, as the other European leaders wished.[137] Much to the consternation of the G7 world leaders,[138] who lobbied for President Trump to accept the Paris climate agreement, Trump stood firm and refused to pledge commitment to the accords[139] so he could still deliberate over whether to stay in it.[140] (Trump ultimately announced, on June 1, 2017, that the U.S. would leave the agreement and cease implementing it[141]). President Trump was also reported as having refused to sign a declaration that stated the benefits as well as "pitfalls" of immigration.[142][143]
    • May 27, 2017—President Trump concluded his trip by speaking to U.S. soldiers,[144] as opposed to holding a press conference.[145]

President Trump meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, July 2017.

  • July 5–8, 2017—President Trump made his second foreign trip, this time to Poland and Germany. President Trump promoted his "America First" policies during his trip.[146][147] He and is actions during the trip were also the target of liberal mainstream media bias.[148][149] Here are some highlights and achievements of the trip:
    • July 6, 2017—Ahead of the G-20 conference, President Trump traveled to Poland, the first European nation to receive an official visit from the president.[150] Trump's decision to visit Poland immediately before the G-20 summit was seen as a sign of support for its conservative and Euroskeptic government.[151][152][153] Trump met with Polish President Andrzej Duda and stated that "we’ve never been closer to Poland than we are right now."[154] He attended the Three Seas Initiative, an alliance of 12 nations in Central and Eastern Europe, and promoted the U.S. as an energy exporter.[155]
    • On July 6, 2017, President Trump gave a major policy address[156][157][158] in front of 15,000 supporters[151][159] in front of the famous Warsaw Uprising Monument.[160] He promoted conservative, Christian, America First, and nationalistic values in his speech.[157][158][161][162][163] Trump took a strong stance against terrorism in his speech, stating that "our borders will always be closed to terrorism and extremism of any kind."[164] He strongly stood up for Western values[162][165] and asked "Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at any cost? Do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? Do we have the courage to preserve our civilisation in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?"[166] Reaffirming American NATO duties and military support for Poland, he spoke highly of Poland for meeting its NATO spending pledge.[164][167][168] While taking a reasonable stance regarding Russia,[169] Trump criticized "destabilizing" Russian activities such as supporting hostile regimes.[152][167][170] Trump took a strong stance against government bureaucracy and regulations, warning against "the steady creep of government bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth of the people" and stating that "the West became great not because of paperwork and regulations but because people were allowed to chase their dreams and pursue their destinies....we put faith and family, not government and bureaucracy, at the center of our lives."[152][167][171] Trump defended Christian and Roman Catholic faith, stating that "the people of Poland, the people of America, and the people of Europe still cry out ‘We want God’."[172][173] According to numerous conservative commentators, President Trump's speech marked a "clean break" with Obama's foreign policy philosophy, replacing them with his America First doctrine,[174] and he placed "matters of identity, culture, faith and sovereignty over democracy", unlike liberal globalists.[175] He received generally good reviews for the speech,[176] even from some critics.[158] It was reported that the Polish government's dropped its concerns over President Trump's perceived friendly relations with Russia after the speech.[177]
    • July 7–8, 2017—Going into the G-20 summit, President Trump displayed strong support for his America First philosophy and criticized the Paris climate agreement.[178] At the summit,[179] President Trump met numerous world leaders,[180] most notably Russian President Vladimir Putin.[181] After Trump's meeting with Putin, both countries announced a ceasefire in Syria's war.[182] In the final G-20 common statement, the Trump Administration, which was ideologically opposed by the other G-20 nations, successfully received concessions from them in regards to climate policy, with the statement acknowledging the U.S.'s intention to withdraw from the Paris agreement and including language on the nation's intention to promote clean fossil fuels internationally,[147][183] and trade.[147][184] (The Trump Administration stated it achieved many of its goals in the statement[185]). Despite mainstream media bias that the U.S. "abandoned" or "left" its position of leadership,[149] the U.S. actually strengthened its position of leadership by pushing his conservative, America First agenda rather than following the consensus of the other G-20 countries.[186] Although symbolic, President Trump wore an American flag pin, being the only world leader not to wear the G20 pin which had globalist symbolism.[187]
  • July 11, 2017—In an attempt to solve a diplomatic crisis between Qatar and several other Persian Gulf nations, the U.S. and Qatar signed an agreement for Qatar to increase its counterterrorism measures and to end funding for terrorist groups.[188]
  • Despite trying to work with China over North Korea,[189] the Trump Administration took numerous steps to counter and confront the nation.[190] The Trump Administration's national security strategy also took a tough stance on China.[191]
  • It was reported in July 2017 that the Trump Administration had ended a CIA program to arm "moderate" Syrian rebels, an ineffective program that had been criticized by conservatives.[192]
  • August 21, 2017—While many nationalist conservatives noted the how President Trump's plan for conducting the War in Afghanistan went against his America First campaign positions and being similar to Obama's plan,[193] President Trump, unlike Obama, chose to pursue a realist foreign policy, rejecting timetables for the war and choosing to focus on killing terrorists while rejecting "nation building."[194]
  • November 5–14, 2017—President Trump traveled to Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, and the Philippines. He emphasized his America First philosophy during and after this trip.[195] Here are some highlights of the trip:
    • November 6, 2017—In Japan, President Trump voiced support for tough, America First trade policies and criticized the previous administration's policy.[196] When meeting Japan's emperor, President Trump did not bow as Obama did in 2009.[197]
    • November 9, 2017—President Trump stated that he did not blame China for understandably taking advantage of the U.S. in helping create America's massive trade deficit with China, as U.S. leaders should not have allowed themselves to have been taken advantage of in the first place.[198]
    • November 10, 2017—In Vietnam, President Trump spoke at the APEC summit being held there. He voiced strong support for tough, America First trade policies as well as for national sovereignty in general, and he criticized unfair trade practices, previous U.S. trade policy, and the World Trade Organization.[199]
  • December 6, 2017—In a historic move that went against the international global establishment,[200] President Trump reversed decades of United States policy by officially recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and ordering the U.S. State Department to begin the process of moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.[201] While previous presidents refused to declare Jerusalem as Israel's capital despite saying they would during election campaigns, President Trump actually kept his promise.[202] On December 18, 2017, the United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution condemning the decision, the first time the U.S. made such a veto in six years.[203]
Other achievements, 2017
While the following achievements were not official United States government policy actions by the Trump Administration, they were closely related to the Trump Administration and its policies:

  • President Trump strongly urged the other NATO members to increase their defense spending in order to meet their spending pledges. In late-June 2017, it was reported that Europe's NATO countries would increase their defense spending at the fastest pace in three years.[204]
  • It was reported in early July 2017 that President Trump had held about 50% more face-to-face meetings with foreign leaders than President Obama did during the same part of his presidency, "not including summits, the UN, or the Palestinian Authority," indicating that despite critics' claims of a more "isolationist" foreign policy, Trump started out his presidency with an active foreign policy in addition to his America First philosophy.[205] In his first six months in office, President Trump had three foreign trips and held 47 bilateral meetings with foreign leaders along with 102 phone calls with foreign heads of state.[206]
Failures, 2017
  • Obama holdovers remained in key State Department positions well into Trump's presidency, and the administration and the U.S. Senate went at a slow pace at nominating and confirming officials to the department.[207]
2018
Executive actions, 2018
  • The Trump Administration took several actions against Iran:
    • January 2018—President Trump, along with his administration, continued his strong public support of anti-government protests in Iran that started late in the previous year, and he even criticized Obama for his weak Iran policies.[208]
    • January 4, 2018—The Trump Administration sanctioned five Iranian entities with ties to the country's missile program.[209]
  • January 2018—Not only did the U.S. withhold $255 million in military aid to Pakistan due to its lack of cooperation with U.S. counterterrorism efforts,[210] but it suspended all security assistance with the country which amounted at least $900 million.[211] The U.S. also placed Pakistan on a watchlist for "severe violations of religious freedom" on January 4.[212] These moves came after President Trump tweeted about the country, accusing it of "lies & deceit."[213]

Donald Trump achievements: Deregulation and government size




Official presidential photo of President Donald Trump

Main article: Donald Trump achievements
This article is a non-exhaustive list of achievements by U.S. President Donald Trump, his administration, and Congress related to deregulation and promoting limited government.

The Trump Administration made much progress in rolling back regulations,[1] described in May 2017 as its "biggest untold success."[2] President Trump and Congress spent much time rolling back regulations, particularly those created by Obama,[3] and the federal agencies under Trump shifted their focus on cutting regulations rather than writing them.[4] The Administration's focused on reducing regulations for the purpose of "furthering individual liberty and property rights" along with economic reasons.[5] According to the Competitive Enterprise Institute in October 2017, the Trump was the "least regulatory president" since Ronald Reagan and was even faster than Reagan in advancing his conservative deregulation agenda.[6]

For additional deregulation achievements related to energy and the environment, see Donald Trump achievements: Energy and environmental policy.

Legislation signed
  • President Trump successfully made use of Congressional Review numerous times to roll back Obama-era regulations – even more than expected.[7][8] Prior to Trump's presidency, the Congressional Review Act had been used only once successfully, sixteen years prior.[9] When the window to use the CRA for Obama-era regulations ended, Congress had passed and Trump had signed 14 CRA resolutions repealing Obama regulations[10][11][12] – significantly more than expected.[10][13] These actions were estimated to have saved $3.7 billion in regulatory costs and up to $36.2 billion in compliance costs.[10][14] In November 2017, President Trump and Congress repealed another regulation through the CRA, this time a regulation passed after Trump assumed office.[15] Some examples of CRA legislation signed by President Trump follow (other examples can be found elsewhere in the article):
    • February 14, 2017—President Trump signed a bill into law repealing an Obama Era relation requiring energy companies to disclose financial transactions with foreign governments.[16]
    • March 27, 2017—President Trump signed four bills undoing Obama-era regulations.[7][17] Two of those bills rolled back federal education regulations.[18]
    • March 31, 2017—President Trump signed another bill undoing an Obama-era regulation, giving the power back to the states to expand drug testing for unemployment benefit applicants.[19]
    • April 3, 2017—President Trump signed a bill reversing an Obama-era FCC privacy regulation applicable to internet service providers. The FCC had adopted the rule to fill a gap created by a court case which ruled that the FTC did not have jurisdiction to extend its privacy rule over internet service providers because they were regulated by the FCC. The new law repealed the FCC rule and prohibits the FCC from enacting a replacement for 10 years without giving the FTC jurisdiction to regulate internet service providers' privacy practices.[20] Part of yet another series of bills undoing other Obama regulations.[21]
  • May 12, 2017—President Trump signed Public Law 115–33 (S. 496),[22] which repealed a rule by the Department of Transportation that would have taken power away from local governments on infrastructure planning.[23] The bill did not invoke the CRA.[22]
Executive actions
The Trump Administration focused on removing regulations rather than creating them,[24] and the various departments in the Trump Administration moved to undo numerous regulations.[25] In the first six weeks of Trump's presidency, over 90 regulations were repealed, whether through executive orders, Acts of Congress, or other means[26][27] — clearly keeping his promises.[28] Additionally, by late May 2017, the Trump Administration had approved a record low number of new regulations – $33 million in new regulatory costs by May 23 as opposed to $26 billion in the same period in previous administrations, and releasing 8% the average amount of rules released by the past three administrations during the same period of time.[29] The Trump Administration had a significantly lower regulatory reach in several other aspects compared to the previous administration.[30] By July 2017, the Trump Administration had withdrawn or effectively killed 860 proposed Obama era regulations,[31] including 179 that were on a secret list of proposed regulations by the Obama Administration,[32] and rate of killed regulations was 16 for every new one – well above of the mandated rate of two removed regulations for every new one.[31] It was again reported in September 2017 that the Administration was keeping its promises on deregulation.[33] By December 2017, the Trump Administration was killing regulations at a rate of 22 for every 1 regulation created and had saved about $570 million a year due to its deregulation actions.[34]

It was reported in August 2017 that the Trump Administration's fight against regulations had saved businesses $4 billion per year compared to the Obama Administration.[35] In the first 11 months of Trump's presidency, his administration imposed $5.8 billion in new regulations, as opposed to $24.8 billion in the last 16 days of Obama's presidency.[36]

In addition to cutting regulations, President Trump had a successful first year in reducing the number of federal government employees. By early August 2017, the Trump Administration had reportedly reduced the number of federal employees by 9,000 even with an increase in Pentagon employees.[37] By the end of September 2017, every cabinet department – with the sole exceptions of the departments of Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, and the Interior – had fewer permanent staff than they had at the beginning of the year.[38] Overall, the number of federal employees fell by 16,000 during this time, and it was the first time since Bill Clinton's presidency that the number of federal employees fell during a president's first year in office.[38]

The Trump Administration took numerous actions related to reducing government regulations:

  • January 20, 2017—On its first day in office, the Trump Administration ordered a regulatory freeze on all federal governmental agencies.[39]
  • January 30, 2017—Trump signed an executive order that requires two federal regulations must be eliminated for every regulation created.[40]
  • February 3, 2017—President Trump signed a memorandum directing the United States Department of Labor to review a regulation signed by Obama set to go into effect.[41]
  • February 24, 2017—President Trump signed an executive order requiring every federal agency to create a "regulatory reform task force" to find unnecessary, burdensome regulations to repeal.[42] This order was called "the most far reaching effort to pare back U.S. red tape in recent decades."[43]
  • April 25, 2017—President Trump signed an executive order ordering the Department of Agriculture to find and eliminate unnecessary regulations, in an effort to help farmers, particularly in the light of NAFTA and the trade imbalance with Canada.[44]
  • The Trump Administration took actions regarding federal land use:
    • April 26, 2017—President Trump signed an executive order ordering the Interior Department to review designations of national monuments from as far back as 20 years prior, with the intention of reversing federal overreach in land acquisition and returning power to the states.[45]
    • December 4, 2017—President Trump signed two executive orders greatly reducing the land area of two national monuments in Utah – in order to "reverse federal overreach" and preserve states' rights – created by the Clinton and Obama administrations.[46]
  • September 7, 2017—The Office of Management and Budget issued a memorandum expecting federal agencies to decrease their regulatory costs.[47]
  • December 14, 2017—The Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal Obama-era "Net Neutrality" regulations.[48]
The Trump Administration took numerous actions related to reducing the size of government and reducing waste:

  • On Inauguration Day, 2017, the Trump administration instituted a federal hiring freeze.[49] On January 23, 2017, Trump signed an executive order instituting the hiring freeze, from which the military was exempted.[50] On April 12, 2017, the administration partially lifted the hiring freeze and replaced it with a plan to restructure and shrink the executive branch,[51] and it still planned on not filling numerous governmental positions.[52]
  • February 28, 2017—President Trump announced that he did not plan on filling numerous government positions he considered unnecessary.[53] According to one source, about 2,000 positions were vacant, and most of them were likely included in this list.[54] As of April 4, 2017, President Trump did not make a nomination for nearly 500 positions requiring Senate confirmation.[55]
  • March 13, 2017—President Trump signed an executive order to perform an audit on every executive branch agency in order to reduce spending and waste and improve services.[56]
  • June 19, 2017—The Environmental Protection Agency ended a $1 million program where it gave gym memberships to its employees, ending the program due to an abuse of taxpayer money.[57]
  • The White House 2017 payroll was $5.1 million lower than the Obama Administration's 2015 payroll. Additionally, the Trump White House employed 110 fewer employees than Obama, and it did not employ any policy "czars."[58] In addition, President Trump donated his entire first-quarter 2017 salary to restore the Antietam National Battlefield.[59]
  • It was reported in October 2017 that First Lady Melania Trump had significantly reduced her staff in comparison with her predecessor Michelle Obama. Melania Trump employed four people in 2017 with a combined annual salary of $486,700 compared to Michelle Obama's 16 employees (her press secretary stated in 2009 that she actually employed a record-breaking 24 people) and a combined annual salary of $1.24 million in 2009.[60]
Appointments
  • June 10, 2017—The U.S. Senate confirmed Neomi Rao, who was noted for her position in favor of deregulation, as the administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA).[61]
Other achievements
While the following achievements were not official United States government policy actions by the Trump Administration, they were closely related to the Trump Administration and its policies:

  • It was reported in June 2017 that President Trump's deregulation actions had increased confidence and hiring in the manufacturing sector.[62]

Contents
Miscellaneous policy achievements
  • On January 5, 2017, the U.S. House passed a motion condemning Obama's allowing a leftist anti-Israel resolution to pass in the UN.[1][2] Additionally, Trump voiced his strong support for Israel during his transition.[3][4] On April 27, 2017, all 100 members of the U.S. Senate sent a letter to United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres demanding an end to the anti-Israel bias in the UN.[5] After that, the U.S. condemned the UN after the organization ignored the letter from the Senate.[6] On June 5, 2017, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution observing the 50th anniversary of the unification of Jerusalem and called for President Trump to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem,[7] and Congress commemorated the event.[8]
  • January 20, 2017—On the day he took office, Trump returned the bust of UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the Oval Office that Obama removed when he took office.[9] He also accepted the United Kingdom's offer to re-loan the second identical bust of Churchill, which Obama removed and returned after the first loan expired.[10]
  • January 28, 2017—Trump signed an executive order banning administration officials from lobbying their federal agencies for five years, as well as banning them for life from lobbying foreign nations and political parties.[11][12]
  • President Trump took several actions related to space exploration:
    • March 21, 2017—President Trump signed a bill into law not only funding NASA, but setting a goal of having humans visit Mars "in the 2030s" and potentially colonizing another planet.[13] The bill also funded the agency, the first time such a bill was signed into law in seven years.[14]
    • June 30, 2017—President Trump signed an executive order re-establishing the National Space Council.[15]
    • December 11, 2017—President Trump signed a police directive ordering NASA to "refocus America's space program on human exploration and discovery" and send astronauts back to the Moon and eventually to Mars.[16]
  • May 5, 2017—President Trump attached a signing statement to a five-month spending bill he signed, ignoring several liberal provisions,[17] such as a statement ordering the administration not to enforce federal marijuana laws in states with medical marijuana.[18]
  • August 25, 2017—President Trump pardoned ex-Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, noting his over 50 years of "exemplary" public service and fighting illegal immigration in the White House statement of the pardon.[19]
Political appointments
Proclamations and commemorations
  • January 20, 2017—The day he was inaugurated, President Trump instituted a national day of patriotism for the country,[29] and a few days later Trump officially designated his inauguration day the National Day of Patriotic Devotion.[30][31]
  • May 1, 2017—President Trump proclaimed that day as Loyalty Day, to "recognize and reaffirm our allegiance" to American values, such as "individual liberties, to limited government, and to the inherent dignity of every human being."[32][33]
  • September 3, 2017—President Trump declared that day a National Day of Prayer for victims of Hurricane Harvey, which had just caused devastation in Texas and Louisiana.[34]
  • September 8–10, 2017—President Trump declared these days to be National Days of Prayer and Remembrance to remember those murdered in the September 11, 2001 attacks.[35]
  • November 7, 2017—President Trump commemorated the National Day for the Victims of Communism.[36]
  • November 19–25, 2017—President Trump declared this week to be National Family Week to "emphasize the importance of preserving and promoting strong families, the cornerstone of our society."[37]
Productivity
  • It was reported on June 10, 2017, that President Trump had signed 37 bills into law, more than each of the previous four presidents, and the U.S. House had passed 158 bills, "making it the most productive in the modern-era," according to GOP House leaders.[38] Overall, the legislature was relatively productive by mid-2017.[39]
  • An August 2017 Pew Research Center study found that the 115th Congress was more productive than any other Congress since 2007 and had the fifth highest count of substantive bills signed into law in the past 30 years.[40] Congress, however, only passed parts of President Trump's conservative legislative agenda,[41] and Pew reported in January 2018 that the 115th Congress was the fourth least productive in three decades, though the study did not include 20 bills passed by Congress that President Trump did not sign by January 1.[42]
Party politics
Elections
  • January 20, 2017—On the same day as his inauguration, Trump filed for re-election in 2020, breaking the political norm, giving him a head start on campaigning, and giving him additional legal freedoms and flexibility.[43]
  • The Republican Party did not lose any of the special congressional elections held in early 2017 that were vacated by Republicans – the elections were framed as being referendums on Trump's presidency – despite attempts by Democrats to flip the seats.[44] The most notable example was the special election held in Georgia's 6th congressional district on June 20, 2017, where Republican Karen Handel defeated her Democrat opponent in a highly watched election,[45] despite Hollywood celebrities actively campaigning for the Democrat,[46] and despite the Democrat's spending advantage (the House race was the most expensive U.S. House race in history).[45][47] The election was a clear win for President Trump and his agenda[48] and showed the weakness and poor messaging of the Democrat Party.[49]
Conservatism in the GOP
  • As an example of how the Republican Party became the "party of Trump," the RNC hired pro-Trump Kayleigh McEnany as its national spokeswoman.[50] RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel also was pro-Trump.[51]
  • Despite opposition to Trump from the Left, it was reported in April 2017 that congressional Republicans were more united during Trump's presidency than in any other time in recent U.S. political history.[52]
Achievements not related to official policy

While the following achievements were not official policy actions by the Trump Administration, they were closely related to the Trump Administration and its policies:

  • February 24, 2017—President Trump became the first president since Ronald Reagan to speak at CPAC, and he voiced support for strongly conservative policies and ideals and criticized the mainstream media.[53]
  • It was reported in late April 2017 that nine Trump Administration cabinet members, including Vice President Mike Pence, were participating in a weekly Bible study, and members of the House and Senate were also conducting their own Bible studies.[54] The media took notice of the Bible studies again in late-July 2017.[55] The Bible study was possibly the first one held in the executive branch in at least 100 years.[56] The Trump Administration was described as being "the most evangelical Cabinet in history,"[57] and the Bible study suggested that the administration is, at least in part, striving to be under God.[58] In addition to the Bible study, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders reads Christian devotionals before each press briefing.[59]
  • May 13, 2017—While newly inaugurated U.S. Presidents generally give their first commencement addresses at the University of Notre Dame, President Trump gave his at the conservative Christian Liberty University.[60] One of his lines was, "In America we don’t worship government, we worship God."[61]
  • June 8, 2017—President Trump spoke to the Faith and Freedom Coalition, showing strong support for evangelical Christians and religious liberty. He repeated the statement he made at Liberty University: "in America, we don't worship government. We worship God."[62]
  • June 18, 2017—In celebrating Father's Day, President Trump stated that "fathers have the ability and responsibility to instill in us core values we carry into adulthood. The examples they set and the lessons they impart about hard work, dedication to family, faith in God, and believing in ourselves establish the moral foundation for success that allows us to live up to our full potential."[63] The Department of Education invited members of the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family to a Father's Day event.[64]
  • July 1, 2017—President Trump held a "Celebrate Freedom Rally" in Washington D.C. to honor veterans and celebrate Independence Day – his first Independence Day address as President.[65] In it, he spoke again strongly in favor or religious liberty and stated that "since the signing of the Declaration of Independence 241 years ago, America always affirmed that liberty comes from our creator. Our rights are given to us by God, and no earthly force can ever take those rights away."[66]
  • In an August 3, 2017, rally in West Virginia, President Trump continued bashing the D.C. establishment, saying that "we don’t need advice from the Washington swamp."[67]
  • August 22, 2017—President Trump's own words of what his political movements stood for: "This evening, joined together with friends, we reaffirm our shared customs, traditions and values. We love our country. We celebrate our troops. We embrace our freedom. We respect our flag. We are proud of our history. We cherish our Constitution, including, by the way, the Second Amendment. We fully protect religious liberty. We believe in law and order. And we support the incredible men and women of law enforcement. And we pledge our allegiance to one nation under God."[68]
  • October 17, 2017—Speaking at a Heritage Foundation event,[69] President Trump stated that "the most important truth our Founders understood was this: Freedom is not a gift from government; freedom is a gift from God," and he also stated that "young Americans should be taught to love our country, honor our anthem, and proudly recite the pledge of allegiance."[70]
  • November 23, 2017—President Trump made his Thanksgiving proclamation, stating that "as one people, we seek God’s protection, guidance, and wisdom, as we stand humbled by the abundance of our great Nation and the blessings of freedom, family, and faith."[71] Trump mentioned God 8 times in his Thanksgiving address, while Obama did not mention God even once in his 2016 Thanksgiving address.[72]
  • December 8, 2017—At a rally in Pensacola, Florida, President Trump stated, among other strongly-conservative statements that "America is a sovereign country. We set our immigration rules. We do not listen to foreign bureaucrats. We do not listen to other countries telling us how we should be running our immigration."[73] He also stated that "we proudly pledge allegiance to one nation, under God. Our rights come from our creator, and no earthly force can ever take those rights away, and they never will. That is why my administration is taking power back from global bureaucrats and returning that power back to the American people... We don't sing a global anthem. Our troops don't weak a foreign uniform. And we will never surrender our rights to international tribunals. We won't do that. We proudly sing the Star Spangle Banner. Our brave troops fight and die in red, white, and blue, and we protect and preserve the American Constitution that we cherish. I've said it so often, my job is not to be president of the World. My job is to be President of the United States of America."[73]
Failures
  • As of early April 2017, several Obama-holdovers still held their positions in the Trump Administration with little to no indication of leaving.[74][75] President Trump did not fire Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen, who targeted conservative groups under the Obama Administration.[76] President Trump also appointed at least one NeverTrump individual to the White House.[77] Due to the delay in Senate confirmations, Obama holdovers were able to continue Obama-era policies, such as removing references in official documents of "genocide" against Christians and other religious minorities by ISIS.[78]
  • It was reported in 2017 that the Trump Administration had chosen few supporters of Trump's presidential campaign for national security positions.[79]
  • The Trump Administration sent delegates to the 2017 meeting of the Bilderberg group, a secretive globalist elitist group.[80]

Steve Bannon sai Muellerilta kutsun tulla kuultavaksi suuren valamiehistön eteen. Bannon on ensimmäinen Trumpin sisäpiiristä joka on saanut kyseisen kutsun.
Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump’s former chief strategist, was subpoenaed last week by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, to testify before a grand jury as part of the investigation into possible links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

The move marked the first time Mr. Mueller is known to have used a grand jury subpoena to seek information from a member of Mr. Trump’s inner circle. The special counsel’s office has used subpoenas before to seek information on Mr. Trump’s associates and their possible ties to Russia or other foreign governments.

DHS secretary snaps after Dems push her on 'shithole' comment: 'I have answered this!'

DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Tuesday snapped at Senate Democrats who hounded her repeatedly over whether President Trump said some countries were "shithole countries" in a meeting last week.

Nielsen was testifying at the Senate Judiciary Committee, where several Democrats made a point of asking her about Trump's reported comment. She said several times that she never heard Trump say those words, but when Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., raised it for the fourth time, Nielsen said enough was enough.

"Sir, respectfully, I have answered this," she said. "I've been very patient with this line of questioning. I'm here to tell you about the threats our country faces and the needs and authorities that are needed by the Department of Homeland Security."

"I have nothing further to say about a meeting that happened over a week ago," she added. "I'd like to move forward and discuss ways in which we can protect our country."


Sen. Pat Leahy, D-Vt., started up the questions about Trump's remarks, just days after most Democrats said they showed he is racist.

"You were in the room. You're under oath. Did President Trump use this word or a substantially similar word to describe certain countries?" Leahy asked.

"I did not hear that word used. No sir," Nielsen said.

"That's not my question. Did he use anything similar to that describing certain countries?" Leahy pressed.

"The conversation was very impassioned. I don't dispute that the president was using tough language. Others in the room were also using tough language," Nielsen replied. "The concept and context, I believe, in which this came up was the concept that the president would like to move to a merit-based system. He would like to not and no longer look at quotas.

"The others aren't president," Leahy fired back.

In her replies to Leahy and Senate Minority Leader Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Nielsen said she never heard those comments.

"There was, I apologize, I don’t remember a specific word," she said in her exchange with Durbin. "What I was struck with — the general profanity that was used in the room by almost everyone."

"Did you hear me use profanity?" Durbin asked. When Nielsen said she did not, Durbin then asked if she heard Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., use profane language.

"I did hear tough language from Senator Graham … he used tough language. he was impassioned," she said.

Nielsen offered similar comments to Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and then Blumenthal. Despite her pointed remarks to Blumenthal, Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, also asked about Trump's reported "shithole" comment.
 
Trump sanoikin shitholen sijaan shithouse ainakin jos republikaanisenaattoreihin Cotton ja Perdue on uskominen. Senaattorien lausunnon mukaan Trump ei käyttänyt täsmälleen sanaa joka uutisoitiin, lausuntoon ei vain kirjoitettu täsmennystä että heidän mielestään sana oli holen sijaan house. Touhu menee melkoiseksi kiemurteluksi.
Just when you thought the lawmakers involved in that “shithole countries” meeting at the White House on Thursday hadn't covered themselves in enough shame, here comes a new development.

The Washington Post reported Monday night that the source of the dispute is less about the thrust of President Trump's “shithole” comment and more about the second syllable of that vulgar word. It turns out that the statement Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.) issued that sounded as though it was crafted by a dozen lawyers was written that way for a reason: Cotton and Perdue, according to three White House sources, believe Trump said “shithouse” rather than “shithole.” (The New York Times has a source saying the same thing.)

This is apparently all the difference that they needed to issue their statement, which assured that “we do not recall the president saying these comments specifically.” That last word lingers hugely; it means they get to deny one specific word and feel good about having been technically honest. Never mind that the second syllable of that word doesn't change the meaning of Trump's comments one iota.

And it's hardly the first time we've found Cotton and Perdue contorting themselves to avoid confirming the gist of Trump's comments. Both men appeared on the Sunday talk shows over the weekend and seemed to back off the “we do not recall” part of the statement. It seemed that their memories had been jogged enough to the point where they could now say pretty definitively that Trump hadn't said “shithole countries.”
