Trump's Achievement From January 2017 To December 2020: Our Journey in the past four years

By Mike Pence

Long before he was a contender for the US presidency, Donald Trump was America's most famous and colourful billionaire.Once considered a long shot, the 74-year-old is now president of the United States, approaching the end of a four-year term.Scepticism over his candidacy for the 2016 election had stemmed not only from his controversial platform on immigration and outrageous campaign-style but from his celebrity past.Yet the businessman had the last laugh when he defied all predictions to beat much more seasoned politicians in the Republican primary race.He then went a step further by winning the presidential election, one of the most divisive and controversial contests in living memory, against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.Early lifeMr Trump is the fourth child of New York real estate tycoon Fred Trump. Despite the family's wealth, he was expected to work the lowest-tier jobs within his father's company and was sent off to a military academy at age 13 when he started misbehaving in school.After attending the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania he became favourite to succeed his father when his older brother, Fred, chose to become a pilot. Fred Trump died at 43 from alcoholism, an incident that his brother says led him to avoid alcohol and cigarettes his entire life.Mr Trump says he got into real estate with a "small" $1m loan from his father before joining the company. He helped manage his father's extensive portfolio of residential housing projects in the New York City boroughs and took control of the company - which he renamed the Trump Organization - in 1971.His father died in 1999. "My father was my inspiration," Mr Trump said at the time.The mogulShifting his family's business from residential units in Brooklyn and Queens to glitzy Manhattan projects, Mr Trump transformed the rundown Commodore Hotel into the Grand Hyatt and erected the most famous Trump property, the 68-storey Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. Other properties bearing the famous name followed - Trump Place, Trump World Tower, Trump International Hotel and Tower, and so on. There are Trump Towers in Mumbai, Istanbul and the Philippines.And Mr Trump developed hotels and casinos, an arm of the business that has led to four bankruptcy filings (for the businesses, not personal bankruptcy).He also built an empire in the entertainment business. From 1996 until 2015, he was an owner in the Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA beauty pageants. In 2003, he debuted an NBC reality television show called The Apprentice, in which contestants competed for a shot at a management job within Mr Trump's organisation. He hosted the show for 14 seasons and said in a financial disclosure form that he had been paid a total of $213m by the network during the show's run.He has written several books and owns a line of merchandise that sells everything from neckties to bottled water. According to Forbes, his net worth is $2.5bn ( 1.9bn).In September, the New York Times reported that despite his purported wealth, Mr Trump paid just $750 in federal income tax both in 2016 and in his first year in the White House. The president dismissed the report as "fake news".Author's ViewListening to the national media, one would think President Donald Trump has achieved little during his presidency. The media gives him credit for no accomplishments. Being an objective person, I decided to examine some of Trump's successes, if any. I, quite frankly, was surprised at the results, because I listen to the negative daily drumbeat of the liberal national media toward Trump.Trump has been called a racist, but facts don't support that opinion, which I believe is based on nothing but innuendos. Here are the facts concerning Trump and the African American community as reported by Farah Stockman, member of the editorial board of the New York Times.Let's proceed to the inside page
