Let the truth be told.

After all, what has he really done? These are facts not political lies.

1. President Trump spent his Thanksgiving, visiting troops in Afghanistan. 1

2. 3.5% unemployment — lowest since 1969 2

3. New jobs surged by 266,000 in November 3

4. Average hourly earnings rose by 3.1% from a year ago 4

5. Average work week 34.4 hours 5

6. Phase I deal with China: China will waive tariffs on some soybeans and pork shipments from the U.S. 6

7. His administration has issued 65 percent fewer costly regulations than previous administration. 7

8. $33 billion in net regulatory savings since taking office. 8

America is surging forward. How much better would it be if the lies for impeachment weren’t flying around?
