Trump's top 100 on his 100th day
Editorial: Did you see media coverage of President Donald J. Trump's meaningful accomplishments? Likely not from the perpetually offended loony Leftist identity hucksters of innate ignorance. Maybe by direct email or a bit or two on the mostly right Fox News.
However, at his rally Saturday and as far back as candidate Trump's selection of Mike Pence; this Democratically elected 45th President of the United States of America has accomplished more against greater opposition than any president in the history of the world.
Others may have different lists, but Gary L. Bauer of CWFPAC writing in both celebration and for continued fundraising provides some worthy selections for your consideration:
