President Donald J. Trump........

One year ago today, Donald Trump defied expectations of the radical left, mainstream media, pollsters and political pundits: He won the presidency. He got straight to work, nominating Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, rolling back years of harmful Obama-era regulations, and crafting the biggest tax-cut plan in a generation.
President Trump has reached across the aisle time and again to make the American people’s priorities a reality. He has hosted leaders of the Democratic Party at the White House to discuss solutions to some of the nation’s most pressing problems, seeking results over partisan politics.
There’s no question that President Trump is not the standard politician we’ve grown accustomed to seeing. But that difference is what Americans celebrated last November when they elected an outsider to shake up Washington. They stood by a president who could create jobs, grow the economy, and help each person attain the American dream.
Since he took office, the economy has added nearly 1.5 million jobs, consumer confidence has skyrocketed, and unemployment has reached record lows. The Trump administration is promoting American industry and supporting our businesses, workers and families by increasing U.S. energy exports to the global market and investing hundreds of millions of dollars to support STEM education. Our veterans are finally getting greater access to quality health care.
President Trump is making America safer, enacting tough immigration policies that have driven down illegal border crossings by more than 41 percent since the same time last year. He is cracking down on convicted criminals who have plagued our communities for far too long.
He recently joined the House and Senate to develop a tax-cut plan that will help families across the country keep more of their paychecks. It will relieve financial burdens unfairly placed on the backs of hardworking Americans and will save the average family $1,182 more each year.
The Trump administration’s policies to improve the lives of all Americans have created a ripple effect, boosting our grass-roots operation and creating a surge of enthusiasm across the country that continues to this day. This broad support has translated into unprecedented investment, even in what is considered an “off year” election.
