This article is a list of all political achievements (and failures) of United States President Donald Trump (and also Congress, to an extent) in passing conservative legislation, advancing conservative ideals, and Making America Great Again.
When adding additional examples, please add at least one reliable source for each example for future reference.
Trump Transition
Despite not even being inaugurated, Trump made several notable accomplishments.
- November 2016 — In an effort to "Drain the Swamp," Trump instituted a 5-year lobbying ban for potential administration picks as well as transition team members.[1] This is much longer than Barack Obama's ban, which was for two years.[2]
- Trump picked the most conservative cabinet, at least in recent U.S. history.[3][4] In addition, rather than picking establishment Washington RINOs with worthless governmental experience in the capital city, Trump chose an unorthodox cabinet of true conservatives, small-government proponents, and outsiders.[5][6]
- December 2016/January 2017 — Trump criticized Boeing and Lockheed Martin for selling the U.S. overpriced weaponry (including the failed F-35 program), and he criticized Boeing for planning an extremely overpriced new Air Force One.[7] After criticizing Boeing over Air Force One and meeting with its executives, the company's CEO assured Trump that the new plane would not be over budget.[8]
