Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. Thomas Paine, writing from Philadelphia, February 14, 1776

Trump achievements
Jim Acosta meant it as a criticism, but I think it's a nice listing of some of President Trump's most significant achievements. Here is what Acosta tweeted: "Obama policies dumped by Trump: Iran deal, Paris Climate Agreement, Trans-Pacific Trade Deal, DACA, ObamaCare Individual Mandate." Obama's mistake was that, other than the individual mandate, he got none of these "accomplishments" enshrined in law. They were all nothing more than, as Acosta rightly calls them, policies. And as Trump has demonstrated, policies can change.
You forgot to list net neutrality rules
ReplyDeleteIt was actually Jim Acosta's list, not mine. But thank you!
