The President of the United States is undoubtedly the 'most powerful man on Earth'. His implementation of Acts, Reforms and foreign policies can certainly influence the country's position within itself and on the world map. Considered as the most fact-challenged politician in recent times, you can certainly ascertain that Donald Trump is unlike any of his predecessors.
So shall we analyse some of the famous proposals and repeals by the current President during his term? And we very well know that Trump has already started campaigning for the 2021 presidential polls. To win the prestigious second term, Hello, by the bye, don't you know the man was impeached last October?.... these implementations shall weigh upon him to decide his fate for the second term.
Shouldn't we consider the present uncontrolled Corona crisis plus the highest mortality rate in the world? Obviously! Here are a few of the many. Hurray!
To mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, the Paris Agreement was signed in 2016 initiated by the UN. The US withdrew from the agreement. So, isn't the present climate change man-made? Well, Trump calls it a myth.
Under the Obama administration, the Clean Power Plan was formed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in June 2014. Main intention:- To reduce carbon dioxide emissions by power generation. Phew! However, Trump decided to review it.
After the 2008 economic recession, the Dodd-Frank Act imposed regulations on banks. Trump signed the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act easing the regulations on banks. Well, is it good or bad? Good to me.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) or more popularly known as Obamacare was a game-changer for Democrat Obama. However, Republican Trump wanted to repeal it failing miserably. Will Trump's countrymen pardon him? The answer is a big NO (the low income will be affected if so).
A trade agreement called Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was formed by twelve countries but proved ineffective after the US withdrew its signature. Trade suffering? Hmm...
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFFB) deals with consumer protection involving banks, debt collectors, credit unions, foreclosure relief services and securities firms. Its efficiency is being challenged in court.
Tariffs were imposed by Trump on aluminium and steel imports on Mexico, the European Union and Canada. Boomerang!... Retaliatory tariffs were imposed on US exports. Plus a trade war with China. The resultant economy is a boom.
In 2017, Trump signed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act envisaging tax reduction for startups and entrepreneurs, personal exemption elimination and mitigating mortgage interest deduction.
"America First" foreign policy was propounded by Trump. US recognised the "Holy City" Jerusalem as Israel 's capital and meanwhile made an order refusing US visas to citizens belonging to Muslim-majority countries. Troops were withdrawn from Syria.Withdrawal completed from Afghanistan too. The US exited the Iran Deal which raised the tension to war-like proportions.
Watch this. If you are a migrant stranded at the US-Mexican border and a mother, then you ought to get separated from your beloved children. This is the family separation policy by the Trump administration. This has sparked far spread outcries invoking wrath even from the previous First Ladies Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama. To make matters worse, Trump challenged the Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program which sheltered illegal immigrants who were minors.
Now, readers, I repeat, since being the most fact-challenged US president, Mr Donald Trump needs to seriously consider the thousands of productive and counter-productive proposals he makes in the Senate. Well, reminisce the likes of the bold Lincoln, the youthful yet mature Kennedy and the ever charismatic Obama. And it's for the people of this beautiful Democratic haven to determine who adorns the prestigious Presidential chair in the Oval Office, White House next year.
