hroughout his first year, President Trump has had many highs and lows that have determined his success rate. Among the different categories that determine people’s approval are economy, foreign affairs, and campaign promises. Reported and designed by Emma Kennedy
Successes
Failures
Economy - Worker productivity has increased to 3 percent in the third quarter, well above the previous 1.2 percent in Obama years.
- Seven months into his presidency, job growth slowed to its lowest rate in six years
- He signed a tax reform that many believe will push small and large companies to invest in capital expenditures - meaning more manufacturing for software, plants and equipment.
Foreign Affairs - Illegal crossings across the U.S. border have plunged by 60 percent since Trump’s start.
2
- Many people were very disappointed by the travel ban that was placed on Muslims entering the United States. Many agree that the rollout of the ban was sloppily placed.

- He withdrew from the Paris Agreement, saying that it put American workers at an “economic disadvantage.”
- He has failed to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, but is still working.
Domestic Affairs - President Trump signed 28 bills into law within his 100 days in office. These include: - bill H.R. 255, Promoting Women in Entrepreneurship Act - S. 305, the Vietnam War Veterans RecognitionAct
