5 Best Parts Of 2017 (Trump Edition)
It's a new year, and it might be an incredible one at that; thanks to actions Donald Trump implemented in 2017. Yes, their some negatives that should be mention; and will at a later post. However, these five positive outweighs the negative and should be recognized. Here are the top five best things that happen in 2017(thanks to Trump).
Gorsuch on Supreme Court
One of the primary debates we had throughout the 2016 election wasn't more towards the candidate it was more to the judges that candidate will appoint, once they were in office. After recently nominating two very liberal judges, it was a matter of time for a conservative judge to be, and Trump did it successfully impressing everyone from Republicans, Libertarians or any person that has a right/traditional mindset. Gorsuch work alongside Anthony M. Kennedy (Associate Justice) during his early law years, a good sign that Kennedy can trust Trump if he decided to Retired.
Stock Market Rise/Millions of More Jobs!
Remember all these predictions about how the stock market will crash it will burn if Donald Trump gets elected? That we are guaranteed to have Clinton as our president and the economy will be booming because after all that Obama passed? That didn't happen. However, we did get Trump elected and instantly the stock market rise to the top and numbers that we have never seen before because of the consumer and businesses of confident enough to invest more in America. Deregulate all the mistakes that the last Administration has done, and it feels like every other week you hear companies saying how much more money they're going to invest in this country and how many more jobs will be available.
Shrinking Government
Nothing makes me happy than hearing that our government is shrinking. Yes, it's not dramatically, but as a Libertarian, it's the right path of being more fiscally responsible. Below you can find a graph by The Washington Post a new source which I have to say has been very fake during 2017 admitting that government is shrinking under the Trump presidency. Others find it the worst news in the world; to me, it brings tears of joy to my eyes.!

Taxes Are Going Down
His first promises during his campaign were to repeal Obamacare and ensure that our taxes will be lower. I'm glad to say within the first year he has already signed and delivered on that promise. Opening the floodgates for an auspicious economic year in 2018. I don't care what political side you are but more money in our pockets it's possibly the best Christmas gift ever!
