Unfortunately, success is something that is constantly under attack by progressives and Democrats. These attacks are largely carried out by the left's incessant calls to increase taxes on wealthy, successful Americans. However, what the liberal left fails to realize is that one cannot make the poor rich by making the rich poor. Success is something that must be earned and worked for. Having Trump in office places a spotlight on his achievements; it also shows that anything can be accomplished with determination, gumption, hard work and consistency.

#7. President Trump Bridges Gaps

Another highlight of Trump's presidency is his ability to bridge gaps. This ability particularly presented itself with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Prior to the June Singapore summit, Trump and Kim Jong Un maintained a tense relationship, to say the least. Both parties frequently criticized one another. This subsequently prompted Trump critics to opine that he would drag America into World War III. Of course, people who held this opinion turned out to be wrong. The president's meeting with Kim Jong Un resulted in the signing of an agreement in which Kim Jong Un affirmed his decision to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula. In exchange, Trump also agreed to halt joint military unions with South Korea. One year ago, a meeting between the United States and North Korea was regarded as an impossibility. Yet, Trump made it happen. Promises made, promises kept.

#8. President Trump Repealed the Obamacare Individual Mandate

One of the most dreadful features of the Affordable Care Act was the individual mandate. Forcing hardworking Americans to purchase health care that they may be unable to afford or benefit from is egregious beyond words. Countless upstanding people lost money and greatly suffered as a result of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate. Others simply chose to pay the associated penalty fee because it was more cost-effective than purchasing unaffordable health care. Thankfully, Trump took the initiative to end the individual mandate. This reform provided relief for countless Americans earning less than $50,000 on an annual basis. The individual mandate is something that Democrats largely supported; however, their support is quite ironic, seeing as struggling Americans were hit particularly hard by having to buy unaffordable health care.

#9. President Trump is Cracking Down on Illegal Immigration

Similarly to law and order, legal immigration served as a central focal point of Trump's campaign for the Oval Office. This is something that Trump supporters have lauded and his critics have loathed. Nevertheless, America is a nation of laws; as such, protecting our borders and ensuring that immigration occurs lawfully is paramount.
