Trump touts ‘unprecedented success’ at one-year mark

“Unprecedented success for our Country, in so many ways, since the Election. Record Stock Market, Strong on Military, Crime, Borders, & ISIS, Judicial Strength & Numbers, Lowest Unemployment for Women & ALL, Massive Tax Cuts, end of Individual Mandate – and so much more. Big 2018!” the president said in a tweet.

The tweet falls on the anniversary of the day Trump took office in 2017. 

Trump also promoted his administration’s accomplishments in a Washington Examiner op-ed on Saturday, citing the U.S. economy and military. 

The president’s one-year anniversary in office was an eventful one, with a government shutdown and Women’s Marches rebuking Trump in cities across the country. 

Senate Republicans and Democrats failed to reach a midnight deadline to fund the government on Friday, resulting in the shutdown. 

The administration has blamed Democrats for the closure. 

Women also took to the streets in cities across the U.S. to protest Trump’s rhetoric and policies on women, just one year after the first Women’s March was held after Trump’s inauguration. 

Trump acknowledged the protests in a tweet on Saturday and touted economic successes for women under his administration. 

Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all Women to March. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!
