what policies are you referring to? I'm not really sure he has many

Leave the Paris Agreement
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Agreement
Quote
Under the agreement, the earliest effective date of withdrawal for the U.S. is November 2020, shortly before the end of President Trump's 2016 term. In practice, changes in United States policy that are contrary to the Paris Agreement have already been put in place.[9][10]


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Comprehensive_Plan_of_Action
Quote
On 8 May 2018, Trump announced United States withdrawal from JCPOA.[14][15] Following the U.S.'s withdrawal, the EU enacted an updated blocking statute on 7 August 2018 to nullify US sanctions on countries trading with Iran.[16] In November 2018 U.S. sanctions came back into effect intended to force Iran to dramatically alter its policies, including its support for militant groups in the region and its development of ballistic missiles.[17]

July 23, 2019
An Associated Press analysis shows that President Donald Trump’s administration has appointed at least 190 immigration judges, accounting for 43 percent of the total.


-Trade-
https://usmca.com/
Quote
The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, will replace the current NAFTA agreement that governs trade in North America.


Make NATO pay-up

Quote
Under President Donald Trump, the number of countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) alliance meeting their treaty-imposed financial obligations has doubled. Additionally, NATO spending has increased $130 billion and is on track to be boosted to $400 billion by 2024. Meanwhile, as promised by President Trump, the United States’ hefty contribution to the alliance has dropped from 20% to 16%.


-Healthcare-
Remove Individual Mandate

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/30/trump-touts-repeal-of-obamacare-individual-mandate.html
Quote
KEY POINTS
President Donald Trump boasted about the elimination of the Obamacare individual mandate.
The Affordable Care Act rule imposes a fine on people who fail to have health coverage.
The tax penalty for not having coverage will be suspended effective in 2019.


Transparency in Pricing
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/06/24/735432387/trump-administration-pushes-to-make-health-care-pricing-more-transparent
Quote
This executive order is the latest in a series of moves from the Trump administration on health care price transparency recently. As NPR reported, just last month the White House announced its legislative priorities for ending surprise medical bills, which included patients receiving a "clear and honest bill upfront" before scheduled care. That same week, HHS announced a final rule requiring drugmakers to display list prices of their drugs in TV ads.


Fighting Healthcare Fraud
https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=81037169&f=119
Quote (thesnipa @ May 6 2019 09:45am)
this is what Trump promised in the early debates. Pay for a Wall and x, y, and z also by eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse in the system.

$600m is a good start on reforming the terrible health care industry, but i don't see that many other industries that this could be applied to for more saving. Perhaps contracting for public works projects like road construction, but there's not exactly an equivalent option to generic brands.


Opiod Epidemic
https://oig.hhs.gov/newsroom/media-materials/2019/arpo/




this one isn't policy, he just kind of fell into it, but it's pretty major.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_judges_appointed_by_Donald_Trump

i'll add more in later, this is taking too long for the moment.
let us not forget one of the most important policy's...

CHINA CHINA CHINA
and i'll cover this some later on

This section listed, was listed above under "Leave the Paris Agreement".
this was meant to be a separate section labeled:

Illegal crossings plunge as US extends policy across border
https://www.yahoo.com/news/illegal-crossings-plunge-us-extends-172436556.html

Quote
Illegal crossings plummeted across the border after the Trump administration made more asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for hearings in U.S. court. The drop has been most striking on the western Arizona border, a pancake-flat desert with a vast canal system from the Colorado River that turns bone-dry soil into fields of melons and wheat and orchards of dates and lemons.

Arrests in the Border Patrol's Yuma sector nearly hit 14,000 in May, when the policy to make asylum-seekers wait in Mexico took effect there. By October, they fell 94%, to less than 800, and have stayed there since, making Yuma the second-slowest of the agency's nine sectors on the Mexican border, just ahead of the perennially quiet Big Bend sector in Texas.



Trump directs government to revamp care for kidney disease

Quote
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing the government to revamp the nation's care for kidney disease so more people whose kidneys fail have a chance at early transplants and home dialysis


This kidney health EO is almost universally praised, even by some of Trump's staunchest critics, like the WaPo:

some of what i link will include "China", purposely to support a future post.

Space Exploration and Defense
https://spacepolicyonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Space-Policy-Directive-1-in-Fed-Reg.pdf
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-unveils-sustainable-campaign-to-return-to-moon-on-to-mars
Quote
In December of 2017, President Donald Trump signed Space Policy Directive-1, in which the president directed NASA “to lead an innovative and sustainable program of exploration with commercial and international partners to enable human expansion across the solar system and to bring back to Earth new knowledge and opportunities.”

Quote
In answer to that bold call, and consistent with the NASA Transition Authorization Act of 2017, NASA recently submitted to Congress a plan to revitalize and add direction to NASA’s enduring purpose.

Quote
The Exploration Campaign has five strategic goals:
1. Transition U.S. human spaceflight activities in low-Earth orbit to commercial operations that support NASA and the needs of an emerging private sector market.
2. Lead the emplacement of capabilities that support lunar surface operations and facilitate missions beyond cislunar space.
3. Foster scientific discovery and characterization of lunar resources through a series of robotic missions.
4. Return U.S. astronauts to the surface of the Moon for a sustained campaign of exploration and use.
5. Demonstrate the capabilities required for human missions to Mars and other destinations.

Quote
President Trump has signed the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act and with it directed the establishment of the U.S. Space Force (USSF) as the sixth branch of the armed forces.

The Space Force is part of the Department of the Air Force, much as the U.S. Marine Corps is part of the Department of the Navy. The new branch will be stood up over the next 18 months, military officials said.

Space-Based Capabilities are Vulnerable
The global economy and civilian population are dependent on space systems. U.S. and allied militaries use space systems to connect, warn, guide, and inform decisions across the entire spectrum of conflict. Adversaries are aware of the advantages space services provide and actively seek capabilities to deny them.

Space is Increasingly Militarized
Both China and Russia are developing new space capabilities to achieve military goals and reduce their reliance on U.S. space systems. Through military reforms, China and Russia have organized new military forces devoted to the employment of space and counterspace capabilities and regularly integrate them into military exercises. Meanwhile, these countries continue to develop, test, and proliferate sophisticated anti-satellite weapons to hold U.S. and allied space assets at risk.

Quote
China and Russia consider both offensive cyber capabilities and electronic warfare as key assets for maintaining military advantage. As a result, both countries are researching and developing cyber capabilities and modernizing electronic warfare assets.


here's another "non-policy" executive signing i was fond of.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/11/26/trump-signs-preventing-animal-cruelty-torture-act/4306002002/
Quote
President Donald Trump signed a bill making animal cruelty a felony, expanding on legislation from 2010 that made creation or distribution of “animal crushing” videos illegal.

The previous bill outlawed the videos but didn't ban the actual acts of cruelty.

"This common sense legislation restricts the creation and distribution of videos or images of animal torture," Trump said Monday at the bill signing. "It is important that we combat these heinous and sadistic acts of cruelty, which are totally unacceptable in a civilized society."

Trump noted the role animals play "in the development, settlement, security and happiness of our country." He specifically called out Conan, a military dog injured during the mission that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Conan was honored in a White House ceremony Monday.

So funny how I haven't heard a peep about the national debt from almost anybody on the right, even the libertarians, since Trump got into office.

Even from people like Santara who I distinctly remember having long conversations about the debt with during Obama's term.

One item I would add to the list is moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

Many presidential candidates, including Democrats, have said they would do this for decades, but Trump actually had the balls to do it.

I don't agree with it, but he did deliver on this promise and actually signed the waiver where Clinton, Bush, and Obama would not.
