MAGA list: 205 ‘historic results’ help Trump make case for 2020 re-election

Donald Trump

MAGA list: 205 ‘historic results’ help Trump make case for 2020 re-election
At two years into his first term, President Trump and his top White House team are turning to the 2020 re-election campaign with a new focus on the 2016 promises they have kept and the impact they have had around the country and on the world stage.
“Together, we are building a safe, strong, and proud America,” said Trump in his new list of “historic results,” provided exclusively to Washington Secrets.
It highlights 14 major issue areas and lists 205 accomplishment points and initiatives all aimed at bolstering the president’s statements and tweets that he has been a successful administration despite the recent stock market volatility, his staff shake-ups, and the Russia election probe.
The document outlines a 2020 platform to run on and is a revision of previous formats. Instead of just listing “accomplishments,” for example, there is more perspective on changes that have helped ordinary Americans.
It also highlights key areas, such as immigration, that he played up in the 2018 congressional midterm elections. While he helped candidates he campaigned for, some analysts have criticized his focus as the reason the GOP lost control of the House.
The administration’s refocus has support among those who believe the campaign criticism is wrong, including GOP pollsters John McLaughlin and Jim McLaughlin.

Armed with new polling that shows Republicans erred in refusing to follow the president’s model, driving away some 12 million 2016 Trump voters, the duo are urging critics in the party to stand down and let Trump dictate 2020 messaging.

Mitch McConnell just told a group of people, and me, that he has been in the U.S. Senate for 32 years and the last two have been by far the best & most productive of his career. Tax & Regulation Cuts, VA Choice, Farm Bill, Criminal Justice Reform, Judgeships & much more. Great!






“He understands branding and he understands messaging better than anyone,” said John McLaughlin. 


First lady Melania Trump, left, and President Donald Trump stands together on stage during a hangar rally at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq, Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2018. In a surprise trip to Iraq, President Donald Trump on Wednesday defended his decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria saying the U.S. had succeeded in its mission there.

While still long, the new list goes to the Trump campaign’s 2020 theme of “Keeping America Great” and McLaughlin’s argument that the Republican president wins on two issues, peace and prosperity.
If Trump sticks to those key issues, and bumps his approval rating from 48 percent to 51 percent, like former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush did before their re-elections, he “will win,” added the pollster.
The list reinforces the president’s 2016 applause lines of promising to fix broken trade accords, kill costly regulations and boost energy production. “Unleashing American Energy: President Trump is rolling back costly and burdensome regulations to unleash America’s incredible energy resources,” said one category that included 15 highlights, several of which noted moves to reverse Obama-era regulations.
Those topics, along with these others, said a Trump adviser, will become the basis of the 2020 campaign report card: Ending Obamacare, stopping opioid abuse, protecting religious liberty, cutting crime, rebuilding the military and helping vets, and tacking worldwide bullies like North Korea.

The following is the list compiled by the White House:
