While the midterms are comprised of thousands of local elections, every voter will have the opportunity to weigh in on whether or not President Trump’s remarkable accumulation of conservative accomplishments will continue.

With some Democratic leaders vowing to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against the president if their party regains the House, unfinished objectives such as building the southern border wall and repealing Obamacare could become the least of the president’s problems.

If Americans want more of deregulation, lower taxes, economic growth, record-low unemployment, job creation, immigration enforcement, border security, a stronger military, conservative judges, improved trade deals and unprecedented foreign policy victories with nations such as North Korea, the party of the person they vote for in congressional elections matters.

Since WND published a list of 183 accomplishments in Trump’s first 14 months, the president has continued to fulfill campaign promises.

Most recently, Brett Kavanaugh became the second judge confirmed to the Supreme Court who interprets the Constitution according to the text, following Neil Gorsuch. The negotiation of a trade deal with Mexico and Canada to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, fulfilled a major campaign vow. Another eight trade deals have been negotiated with Japan, South Korea, Europe and China.

In a typical diplomatic victory, the Trump administration, employing tough sanctions and behind-the-scenes diplomatic maneuvers, secured in October the release of pastor Andrew Brunson from an otherwise defiant Turkish regime, without any apparent concessions.

Marc Thiessen, a former speechwriter for George W. Bush, took note of Trump’s record in his Washington Post column in October.

“The fact is, in his first two years, Trump has compiled a remarkable record of presidential promise-keeping.”

Thiessen said that when Trump “says he will do something, you can take it to the bank.”

Outpacing Reagan

In March, the Heritage Foundation found Trump’s administration already had outpaced President Reagan in its implementation of agenda items proposed by the prominent conservative Washington, D.C., think tank.

Nearly two-thirds of the 334 items called for by the Heritage Foundation‘s legendary “Mandate for Leadership” blueprint were accomplished in Trump’s first year in office, reported the Washington Examiner.

The Heritage Foundation’s Thomas Binion said at the time that Trump had implemented 64 percent of the “unique policy recommendations” from the group while Reagan had completed 49 percent at this stage in his presidency.

“We’re blown away,” Binion, director of congressional and executive branch relations at Heritage, told the Examiner.

He said Trump “is very active, very conservative, and very effective.”

The accomplishments cover a “huge spectrum” of issues, he said, including foreign policy, deregulation, immigration, tax reform and health care.

Among them, the Heritage Foundation said, are leaving the Paris Climate Accord, repealing network neutrality rules, reshaping national monuments, reinstating the Mexico City Policy preventing taxpayer money from funding international groups involved in abortion and ending funding to the United Nations Population fund.

Others include reforming the Johnson-era Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program welfare program, allowing development of natural resources, reforming government agencies and withdrawing from UNESCO, the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Sizzling economy

Under President Obama, economic growth never exceeded 3 percent, but under Trump, the economy grew 4.2 percent growth in the second quarter of 2018.

Since Trump took office, more than 3.5 million jobs have been created, more Americans are employed than ever before, and the unemployment rate is the lowest since 1969.

What’s more, the unemployment rates for African-Americans (5.9 percent), Hispanics (4.5 percent) and Asian-American (2 percent) are at the lowest in history.

This year, female unemployment fell to 3.6 percent, the lowest since 1953, and youth unemployment was at a 50-year low.

Blue-collar jobs, meanwhile, grew at the fastest rate in more than 30 years.

In August, 95 percent of U.S. manufacturers said they were optimistic about the future – the highest figure ever – and retail sales were up another 6 percent over last year.

Net exports are on track to increase by $59 billion dollars this year.

U.S. oil production has achieved its highest level in American history, and the United States is now the largest crude oil producer in the world.

In another sign of economic strength, an estimated 3.9 million Americans are no longer using food stamps since Trump was elected.

And amid an increase in consumer confidence in the economy – nearly a two-decade high – investment dollars are returning to the United States. More than $450 million has come back since Trump was elected, including more than $300 billion in the first quarter of this year.

Shrinking government is also part of the administration’s effort to free up the private sector and release the power of free enterprise. Trump has decreased the federal bureaucracy by 16,000 positions while surpassing his promise to remove two regulations for every new one proposed.

Deals, deals, deals

Along with negotiating the historic U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement to replace NAFTA, the administration is working with the European Union towards zero tariffs, zero non-tariff barriers and zero subsides.

The U.S. has finalized a revised trade agreement with South Korea that includes provisions to increase American automobile exports, and Japan agreed in September to negotiate a trade deal.

Already, the U.S. has secured $250 billion in new trade and investment deals in China while confronting unfair trade practices. The president also announced measures to stop China from stealing American intellectual property.

A Trade and Investment Working Group has been established with key U.S. ally Britain, laying the groundwork for a post-Brexit trade deal.

Illegal immigration

While Congress largely has impeded the funding of Trump’s promised wall, the March 2018 omnibus bill secured $1.6 billion for it. Construction of a 14-mile section of border wall near San Diego has begun, along with 20 miles of new and improved fencing in New Mexico.

In the first nine months of 2018, the number of illegal aliens arrested who had not broken any other U.S. law increased 66 percent compared to the previous year.

By May, the Department of Homeland Security had doubled the number of businesses it had searched for breaking immigration hiring laws. It also had quadrupled the number of arrests made.

ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations division says it arrested 796 members and associates of the murderous gang MS-13 in fiscal 2017, an 83 percent increase from the prior year.

In 2017, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations arrested more than 127,000 aliens with criminal convictions or charges.
