Done more in two weeks? He didn't do infrastructure in 4 years. He didn't come out with a healthcare plan or fix the antiquated immigration system. He passed tax cuts in 4 years. That's it. Grifting is all he has done successfully.

Trump will try to take credit for the massive investments made in manufacturing/tech under Biden and the Democrats.

It's just like how he took credit for the economy he inherited from Obama.

Do not let him get away with it.

The GOP has total control over Congress and must deliver for the American people, not Trump.

Noncompete clauses trap workers in jobs and make it harder for them to get better pay.

It was a Trump-appointed judge who initially halted the FTC's ban after business groups (including Trump's tax adviser) sued to stop it.

The Trump Admin is now expected to kill the ban.
