Promises kept. And he kept so many of them and so quickly, that many have already forgotten. Most presidents will promise 99x more than they can deliver. Trump is beating all of them, hands down.

Lauren Appell: I’m thankful for Trump … and I’m not alone

If your Thanksgiving tradition is to go around the table and say what you’re thankful for, and this Thanksgiving you announce you’re thankful for President Trump, there’s a 50/50 chance you’ll see a turkey leg go flying and Great Uncle Frank will storm out before you can cut him a piece of Sarah Sanders’ chocolate pecan pie you spent all day making.

Congratulations, you just saved a bunch of money on Christmas presents by mentioning President Trump at Thanksgiving.

However, that’s exactly who I’m thankful for this year — a president who has done what few “politicians” do, he’s sought to keep every promise he’s made to the people who voted for him.

When he was running for office we knew his name, his business background, but he had no political background that we could gauge. We were flying blind and had no idea if he was serious or if he really intended to do anything he said. We held our breath, gave him a chance, and two years later our country and our families are better for it.

While it’s easy to get caught up in the politically contentious times we’re living in and the alarming behavior of an increasingly inflamed left, this is a man who fights an uphill battle for everything he promised us. He is constantly pushing back against a hostile media and belligerent Democrats working overtime to destroy him.

And he does it all for free. Let that sink in.

During the campaign, Trump vowed to protect religious liberty, and uphold the rule of law by nominating judges who would interpret the Constitution as written, not rewrite it according to their political whims.

He did not disappoint. One of his first acts as president was the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, signaling to his base that he was with them.

As of November 7, 84 judges have been confirmed by the Senate, including Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

President Trump has put several women in prominent roles in both his cabinet and his administration. These women act as his voice and have his ear.

Nikki Haley, Sarah Sanders, Kellyanne Conway and Ivanka Trump have been as influential and effective as any high-ranking woman in any administration in history. Did someone mention Hillary? Her health care plan was a bomb in her husband’s administration, and her term as Secretary of State in the Obama administration was laced with failures.

President Trump has remained committed to his four pillars of immigration: building a wall, ending chain migration, defunding sanctuary cities and getting rid of the visa lottery.

He’s been undeterred in his efforts to keep our country safe, even in the face of backlash. He issued a travel ban on countries that promote terrorism and left-wing judges kept throwing up roadblocks until finally the Supreme Court upheld the ban.

President Trump’s tax cuts and regulation rollbacks have stimulated economic growth and led to record low unemployment. Unemployment for African Americans and Hispanics is at an all-time low and unemployment for women is the lowest it’s been since the 1950s.

As of the end of October, 750 companies have decided to hand out bonuses, raises, add more money into their employees’ 401K accounts, as well as grow their businesses or slash costs for consumers thanks to the Trump Tax Cuts.

I've heard more than one influential commentator say that President Trump has the makings to go down in history as the greatest president America has ever had thus far.

I could see that. Any other president would have wilted away and gave up by now after the insane, brutal, daily beating he takes by the mongrel democrat propaganda wing. Just think what he could have accomplished had he had at least HALF his OWN DAMN PARTY behind him, instead of these ass clown never Trumper establishment tools. I give Trump MAJOR props. Call him a bull in a China shop, say he's uncouth, whatever, but that's ALSO part of why I like him. We have NEVER had a president that doesn't take CRAP from the left. The left usually dishes it out, and the republican cowers into a corner and shuts the fuck up. Well NOT TRUMP, and by God, I LOVE it. He spits it right back at them, and I WOULD TOO.

I wouldn't go that far, personally. But I will say that he has to rank pretty dang high, considering the promises kept and his achievements, all while "under assault" from so many, and so much resistance from inside and outside.

Wait 'til after 8 years.

Think anyone is learning anything though? You think any of these other bubble head politicians are paying attention to how Trump connects with people, and how he won?

I doubt it. Politicians gotta politic, they gotta be what they are. I don't think we'll ever have another REAL person like Trump for president in our life times.

.. yes, and there's the problem. Between written reviews of this period in US history, and what they'll teach in schools and colleges, the full truth may not be realised in the minds of future generations.

Trump is a great President (something our British media would unite to scorn). But, here too, the truth of that just isn't emerging. We've seen home-grown documentaries such as 'Is Trump a sex pest' and 'Trump: The Kremlin's Man ?'.

Still, eight years is a long time. Maybe in the fullness of time, the truth will be so undeniable as to be actually noticeable !!
