President Trump deserves a second term.

The Good He Has Done Outweighs the Bad.

Reporter Victoria Nuzzi

President Trump has done many things for the people so many that I could write a book just on his first term in office. President Trump deserves a second term because he has helped America’s foreign relations, He has boosted the economy for everyone, he has good plans for America in the future.

Trump has increased America’s relations with the world. For example, on June 12, 2018, the Singapore summit took place between Trump and North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un. A joint statement was signed which included the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, the recovery of soldiers remains from North Korea, and follow-up negotiations between high-level officials in the future. This was an unprecedented agreement between the United States and North Korea.

Another example is the recent peace agreements that have been made with Israel and multiple Middle Eastern countries. On September 20th, 2020,the United Arab Emirates signed a peace agreement with Israel. President Trump presided over the signing ceremony at the White House. Since the United Arab Emirates has signed,the Kingdom of Bahrain has signed an agreement as well and more countries are projected to follow.

Trump before the hit of Covid-19 which affected every country’;seconomy. Trump had led us into an economic boom.

Bloomberg economics reported that under Trump’s administration, the Dow measure reached a record high at the start of this year and has since recovered to almost pre-pandemic levels.

Unemployment before the pandemic under the Trump administration had also been at record lows. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in February 2020 that the unemployment rate was at 3.5% nationwide for everyone. Unfortunately, the pandemic did make it spike back to a higher level of unemployment,but now has started to drop back to 3.5%.

The US Census Bureau also reported that the poverty rate in the United States is at record lows, staying at 10.5%.

Now that we have discussed the tip of the iceberg of what Trump has done for this country,let’s talk about what he plans to do, which we know as the candidate has no problem answering questions and has not avoided or blatantly stated the American people don’t deserve to know what he plans to do in office (like some people.)

The Trump Campaign announced what they planned to do in their second term at the Republican National Convention. He stated that he plans to increase the number of jobs, eradicate Covid-19, end American reliance on China, improve health care, increase education, defend the police, end illegal immigration, innovate for the future, and defend American values.

A man can be judged on his past and what he plans for the future. President Trump has shown in his first term that he has looked out for the American people and has stated that he will continue to do so if we give him the chance.
