The Times reported that Trump has focused on repealing former President Obama’s achievements after struggling to reach his own goals, like repealing ObamaCare. It adds that Trump is using executive orders to pressure Congress to follow his agenda.

The newspaper does mention Trump’s approval of the Keystone XL pipeline and his decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement.

Trump ended key ObamaCare payments to insurers last week and also threatened to pull the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal — both landmark achievements for the Obama administration.

“The newspaper does mention Trump’s approval of the Keystone XL pipeline and his decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement.”

Both wrong decisions.

5. WTF orange assface?

?You want them to mention the destructive things you did as freaking accomplishments? Then why not mention bring the US to the brink of nuclear war for spite and fun for yourself? Why not mention the downpayment to Russia of refusing to implement sanctions you signed and increasing their and Iran's power by decertifying the Iran agreement? Throwing millions off healthcare all by yourself through executive orders is another destructive thing. Oh yeah, the degradation of peace and harmony in this country by praising Nazis and KKK causing a significant increase in racial hate crimes. Gorsuch, all he is is a loyalty swearing tool of drumpf and Russia.
