No other president in the history of modern polling has had an approval rating so low on day 199 of their presidency. Aug 8, 2017

Who gets priority if Trumps point based immigration plan gets approved?

President Trump supports a new plan to curb legal immigration based on a point system, similar to models used by Australia and Canada. 30 points, awarded by age, education, English ability, among other factors, are needed for potential immigrants to apply. The ideal candidate would be 26-31 years old, have an advanced degree, speak fluent English... and be relocating for a job paying triple the median income. Extra points would be awarded for extraordinary achievement, such as a Nobel Prize or Olympic medal... and to those investing upwards of $1.3 million in a new commercial enterprise. The bill, introduced by Republican Sens. David Perdue and Tom Cotton, which Trump endorsed in a speech, awaits approval by Congress. Aug 4, 2017

Congresss refusal to repeal and replace Obamacare has meant a major legislative priority has been left essentially dead in the water, while White House staffers like Antony Scaramucci and Reince Priebus continue to be dismissed under clouds of confusion and scandal. However, despite the seemingly endless stories of chaos coming out of the Oval Office, the Trump administration has actually managed to achieve a number of their goals over the past six months. With the lessening of illegal immigration, the withdrawal from the Paris Climate agreement, and shifts in some social issues regarding LGBTQ people, we look at what the Trump administration has actually done so far.
