Trump’s accomplishments

 

            Just in case a few of you missed me and my posts, I am dealing with some health issues.  My posting is going to be a little more sporadic at times in the coming weeks. 

A list of FIRSTs for Trump.

I borrowed this list from Wikipedia.[1]  It’s sourced. 

• First president to reach the age of 70 prior to his election to the presidency.  He’s 78 years old now and observably in cognitive decline. 
• First president to assume the office without having had any prior public service experience, military or political. 
• First president to have been divorced more than once. He married his first wife Ivana Trump in 1977 and divorced in 1992, married his second wife Marla Maples in 1993 and divorced in 1999. 
• First president to marry three times.  Based upon his history it could be 4 depending upon how it works out with Laura Loomer. 
• First president to have children from three different wives.  That we know of. 
• First president to begin tenure with a net negative approval rating in the history of modern political polling. 
• First president to cross over the DMZ and enter North Korea while in office. (2019 Koreas–United States DMZ Summit).  It was where his love affair with Kim Jong Un started.  I couldn’t find if they had any alone time together. 
• First president to be impeached twice by the U.S. House of Representatives (in 2019 and in 2021). 
• First president to have a Senate impeachment trial after his presidency.  If Republicans had had any guts, honor or integrity he would have been convicted. 
• First president to run for reelection after being impeached.  He’s trying to avoid jail. 
• First president to never receive an approval rating over 50%. 
• First president to not personally hand over the nuclear football to his successor. 
• First president to be indicted by a grand jury in a state case. 
• First president to be indicted by a grand jury in a federal case. 
• First president to be indicted by a grand jury in a federal case for actions taken while in office. 
• First president to stand trial for state criminal charges.  Being President will not stop state prosecutions.  He could have another first in being the first President to do time in prison while in office. 
• First president to be held in criminal contempt of court in a state trial. 
• First president to be found guilty of committing felony offenses. 

But wait!
