President Trump early Wednesday touted his administration's achievements, pointing to a report from the Heritage Foundation that shows he is implementing the conservative group's goals agenda at a faster rate than former President Ronald Reagan. In the tweet, Trump quoted the Heritage Foundation's Thomas Binion, who told the Washington Examiner that he was "blown away" by the pace.

Trump has so far implemented 64 percent of the group's 334 policy recommendations, Heritage said, compared to Reagan, who had implemented just 49 percent at this point in his presidency. Reagan famously handed out copies of the group's inaugural "Mandate for Leadership" at his very first Cabinet meeting to his assembled staff.
It is absolutely a winning agenda, Binion, the group's director of congressional and executive branch relations, told the Examiner. He has been very, very active. He is moving the ball in the conservative direction."
Among the key initiatives the group has supported includes the repeal of net neutrality rules passed under the Obama administration, the reduction of Obama-era national monuments, and leaving the Paris Climate Accord.
