Midterms are almost here, and we need to get as many people as possible to go out and vote for Republican candidates. The Fake News media refuses to cover Trump's numerous accomplishments, instead devoting 90%+ of their coverage to bashing Trump and his supporters. The following is a near-comprehensive list of everything that Trump has accomplished since taking office on January 20, 2017. Please share this link with as many people as you can. We must Keep America Great!
