President Trump on Sunday morning raged against Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to strike the country’s infrastructure and urging Tehran to “open the F—in’ Strait, you crazy basta…
Just when you thought the bar couldn’t possibly be lower…
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (2021): Enacted a historic $1.2 trillion investment to modernize the nation’s roads, bridges, public transit systems, and power grids, while simultaneously expanding high-speed broadband access and clean drinking water infrastructure.
The Inflation Reduction Act (2022): Passed sweeping legislation that represented the largest federal investment in combating climate change in U.S. history, while also lowering prescription drug prices and capping insulin costs at $35 a month for Medicare recipients.
The CHIPS and Science Act (2022): Directed $280 billion to boost domestic research and the manufacturing of semiconductor chips, aiming to strengthen supply chains, enhance national security, and reduce reliance on foreign technology.
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (2022): Signed the most significant federal gun safety legislation in nearly three decades, which enhanced background checks for buyers under 21, closed the “boyfriend loophole,” and funded state-level red flag laws.
Confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson (2022): Successfully nominated and oversaw the confirmation of the first Black woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court.
The PACT Act for Veterans (2022): Expanded access to VA health care and benefits for millions of veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits, Agent Orange, and other hazardous substances during their military service.
The Respect for Marriage Act (2022): Enshrined federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriages, officially repealing the previously established Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
Strengthening NATO and Global Alliances: Reinvigorated frayed international partnerships and unified Western allies to support Ukraine following Russia’s invasion, which included the historic expansion of NATO to include Finland and Sweden.
Rejoining the Paris Agreement and WHO: Took executive action on his very first day in office to formally rejoin the international Paris Climate Agreement and halt the United States’ withdrawal from the World Health Organization.
Historic Job Growth and Economic Recovery: Presided over a post-pandemic economic rebound that saw the creation of more than 15 million jobs during his term, bringing the national unemployment rate down to near 50-year lows.
Electoral Count Reform Act (2022): Signed bipartisan legislation to overhaul the 1887 Electoral Count Act, clarifying the vice president’s strictly ceremonial role in certifying elections to help prevent future attempts at election subversion.
His foreign policies were decent. His domestic policies were incredible, especially in the first half of his term. Especially considering he had COVID and its recession to recover from at the same time. If he had been better at messaging to make sure everybody knew what he was getting done and how good it was for everybody, I’m not sure we’d be in this current series of messes at all right now, or ever again if the hamberders keep flowing.
