Let’s give credit where credit is due. Trump’s accomplishments—I’ll give a few— should be mentioned today, so to those who naysay, let me offer a positive view. Now the jobless rate’s pleasingly low: January nineteen---4-point-0. Our economy’s good, and improving. All should see we’ve risen above status quo. College grads hit the jackpot last year, for the job market stats made them cheer. In his plans he’s not slack. He’s brought many jobs back and helped generate companies here. Though new tax laws won’t help everyone, they’ll help millions. When all’s said and done, there’s been no perfect law and no man without flaw in the White House—nor under the sun!* Note: I do NOT LIKE his personality, his mouth, but he's accomplished some good for the U.S. February 2, 2019, entered in Anthony Slausin's President Trump Poetry Contest Stanza 2: data.bls.com (U.S. Dept. of Labor Report, Feb. 2, 2019) Stanza 3: cbsnews.com (May 17, 2018) conservativedailypost.com (Jan. 10, 2017, Martin Walsh article says Ford, U.S. Steel, and others agreed to bring over one million jobs back the U.S.) Stanza 4: *nor under the sun—except Jesus November 19, 2020 entered in the Out on a Lim Contest Sponsor: Joseph May

I really like how you showed the positive which some people do not seem to see. I do not back either party, and at first I hated seeing him in the White House, but I was actually pleased with the way my taxes decreased. I am sure some actually benefited when he was president. Both sides have their good and bad. Congrats. I really like this.

Well written and thoughtful write, Janice: When you think of it, if we were all judged on our personalities and not our job performance perhaps there would be many out of a job. Good angle on your poem. SuZ

Thanks so much, Andrea! I worked hard on this one! I think good economy and low unemployment rates ARE "good stuff." I was careful to choose topics over which there was the LEAST uncertainty. I don't like his mouth and his personality. I consider him to be his own worst enemy, but he has made improvements in our country. Again--THANK you for the great compliment to my poem!! :-) Janice

Thanks so much, Alexis. I REALLY worked on this one. There's been so much disagreement about what he has and has not done, so I was selective! Janice
