  5. I hope there will be a graded response. If he does not repeal and replace the ACA but only issues some funding changes how will that be evaluated? By percentage achieved or Pass fail?

  7. I don’t know any politician that kept more than 5 promises, but we are holding Trump to keep a majority of promises. What kind of standard is this?

  8. Please add: “An amendment, pushed by Lyndon Johnson, many years ago, threatens religious institutions with a loss of their tax-exempt status if they openly advocate their political views. I am going to work very hard to repeal that language and protect free speech for all Americans.”

  10. There already is a bill proposed in the House for term limits that the President Trump said he would sign. Right now House members are in the process of getting additional support for additional signatures. That promise should be listed as in progress currently.

  14. He’s doing a lot better then i assumed he would and he’s actually building a wall? He’s not perfect but he’s the best president America has had in years. The only downside i can see is the lack of effort put into fighting global warming. The threat of our extinction.
