Positive work done by Trump administration

On January 20, 2017, President Donald J Trump took the presidency of the United States of America. He was treated as an unconventional politician. He bragged about his inauguration crowd size. Many critics doubted his motive. Many did not believe whether he would succeed or not.

Over the last 20 months, President Trump has many accomplishments in his presidency career.
