Let's look at the veracity of one more of Trump's "accomplishments".
Trump signs largely symbolic pre-existing conditions order amid lawsuit
President Trump on Thursday signed a largely symbolic executive order aimed at protecting people with pre-existing conditions as he takes fire for a lawsuit seeking to overturn ObamaCare, which enacted those protections.
“The historic action I am taking today includes the first-ever executive order to affirm it is the official policy of the United States government to protect patients with pre-existing conditions,” Trump said during a speech in North Carolina, a key swing state. “So we're making that official.”
Trump noted “our opponents, the Democrats, like to constantly talk about” health care and pre-existing conditions, but “now we have it affirmed, this is affirmed, signed and done.”
The White House did not immediately release the text of the order, but from Trump and other officials’ descriptions it simply states that protecting people with pre-existing conditions is the policy of the government, something that does not have the force of law on its own.
The Trump administration is backing a GOP-led lawsuit seeking to overturn all of ObamaCare, including the law’s protections for people with pre-existing conditions. If the Supreme Court does strike down the health law, a new law would still be required to replace the protections, despite Trump’s executive order.
Trump also did not lay out the details of how he would protect people with pre-existing conditions.

Trump also did not lay out the details of how he would protect people with pre-existing conditions.
- Trump continues to try to eliminate ACA which has guaranteed, by law, coverage of pre-existing conditions.
- Trump signs a vague executive order which carries no weight.
- Trump brags to his followers that He is protecting people with pre-existing conditions.
Who believes this male-bovine-feces? Not any rational person who has even a basic understanding of ACA.
Who believes this male-bovine-feces? His Sheeples.
Let's look at some of the most egregious portions:
“The historic action I am taking today includes the first-ever executive order to affirm it is the official policy of the United States government to protect patients with pre-existing conditions,” Trump said during a speech in North Carolina, a key swing state. “So we're making that official.”
Goody - it may well be a "first-ever executive order". However, instead of a toothless executive order, the Obama era Dems actually made it law.
The White House did not immediately release the text of the order, but from Trump and other officials’ descriptions it simply states that protecting people with pre-existing conditions is the policy of the government, something that does not have the force of law on its own.
It may not have any teeth but the Sheeples are fooled. And that's all that is necessary.

If the Supreme Court does strike down the health law, a new law would still be required to replace the protections, despite Trump’s executive order.
So, Trump's latest accomplishment is not really an accomplishment, is it? It is just another "Hey Sheeples, look how great I am" piece of tripe.
