    booming economy and stock market

https://www.npr.org/2018/09/12/646708799/fact-check-who-gets-credit-for-the-booming-u-s-economy

    unemployment level at a nearly 50-year low

Continuing a trend set in 2010, with no acceleration

    two Supreme Court appointments

one into a stolen seat, and one the most contentious nomination process since at least Clarence Thomas

    no new foreign wars or domestic terrorist attacks emanating from abroad

Definitely all under the President's control.

    a significant degree of progress on trade relations with Canada and Mexico

despite campaign promises to significantly cut down trade relations with Canada and Mexico

    a “needed reset” on the China relationship

following in the footsteps of Obama's Asia Pivot

    the prospect of peace on the Korean Peninsula

Literally the article linked here is about the US' reluctance to support a peace treaty.

I mean, come on. the fuck.
