“I built the greatest economy in the world, the best the U.S has ever had. I am doing it again!”
The world of politics is characterized by the ability to lobby. To be able to engage in any political activity, one must possess the capacity of constructing logically valid arguments, in order to convince people for their votes. Sometimes, in the process of soliciting for votes, you have to make the people aware of some of the things you have achieved, giving the people the assurance that you will achieve similar results provided they give their votes to you.
In a recent Tweet by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, he claimed that he had built the greatest economy in the world, the best the U.S has ever had. He added that he is doing it again.
It is pretty obvious such words are meant for the people to notice the amazing works of Trump in order to give their votes to him in the nations Presidential elections in November this year. Let us look at some of the achievements of Trump, to see if his claims are genuine.
On January 23, 2017 President Trump reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy, which blocks funding for international organizations that perform or promote abortion. This new program is known as Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance (PLGHA), which now covers $8.8 billion in family planning and global health funds that go to organizations abroad (none of whom may perform or promote abortion).
On January 16, 2018 the Department of Justice filed an amicus brief with the District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on behalf of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. The Archdiocese had wanted to promote a religious message during the Christmas holiday but, had been denied advertising space within the District’s public transit system.
On April 12, 2019 the Trump administration’s policy on military service by those with gender dysphoria went into effect. This policy will help halt the deterioration of military readiness, lethality, and unit cohesion caused by social experimentation in the military.
On May 18, 2020 USAID Acting Administrator John Barsa sent a letter to the UN Secretary General advocating that the UN not push abortion during the coronavirus crisis. Barsa noted that abortion is not an “essential service,” and there are many actual health needs at this time. Therefore, the United States, which stands with the international pro-life community under the Trump administration, does not look kindly on these efforts to promote abortion.
These are few of the numerous achievements of Donald Trump which can win him another tenure of office. But will Trump stand a chance in the impending elections especially when the nation recorded higher numbers of racial injustices in his term of office?
