Letter to the Editor,

Trump: 2-terms

While Democrats in Congress have been 2 tangled-up wasting their time and talent, and our treasure, trying to remove the President from office; he’s been busy working for the American people. 

He’s been happily-dancing the 2-step. 

The 2-step is a partner-dance, consisting of a "leader" and a "follower." President Trump is the leader of the free world and the world is closely watching, taking-note and following in his foot-steps.

He signed 2 trade-deals: the United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) agreement and the trade accord with China.

Approximately 2 million Americans have been lifted out of poverty.

He authorized the killing of 2 terrorist leaders: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the founder of ISIS, and Qasem Soleimani the Iranian military leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a designated terrorist organization.

The poverty rates for 2 minority groups, African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans have reached record lows.

He appointed 2 lifetime constitutionalist Supreme Court Justices: Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch. 

Economic confidence is at the highest-point in the past 2 decades.

He authorized 2 new military entities: the Space Force and the Space Command. 

Violent-crime fell in the first 2 years of his Presidency, after rising during the 2 years prior to him taking office. 

He held 2 historic summits with North Korea.

Life and liberty, the first 2 inalienable rights in the Declaration of Independence, have been a priority of his administration to uphold the sanctity of life and safeguard religious liberty.

He took 2 significant steps to support our cherished ally: recognizing Jerusalem as the true capital of Israel and moving the United States Embassy there. 

The United States is leading in 2 areas of energy-production: the largest oil and natural gas producer in the world. 

He created 2 programs to assist women’s economic-empowerment through the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative and the U.S. Strategy on Women, Peace, and Security. 

The tremendous triumphs of President Trump are 2 numerous 2 mention; these are merely the highlights of his accomplishments and achievements which are sure 2 guarantee that he will serve 2-terms.
