11. And last, but not least: "RUSSIA COLLUSION!" Russian collusion is perhaps the
greatest hoax perpetrated on the American people. THERE IS NO COLLUSION!

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Well, now that collusion with Russia is proving to be a total hoax

and the only collusion is with Hillary Clinton and the FBI/Russia,
the Fake News Media (Mainstream) and this phony new book
are hitting out at every new front imaginable. They should try
winning an election. Sad!

While the media spent 90% of the time focused on negative coverage or fake news,
the President has been getting results:

1. The economy has created nearly 2 million jobs and gained over $8 trillion in
wealth since the President’s inauguration.

2. African Americans and Hispanics are enjoying the lowest unemployment rate in
recorded history.

3. The President signed historic tax cuts and relief for hardworking Americans not
seen since President Reagan.

4. President Trump’s plan to cut regulations has exceeded “2 out for every 1 in”
mandate, issuing 22 deregulatory actions for every one new regulatory action.

5. The President has unleashed an American energy boom by ending Obama-era

regulations, approving the Keystone pipeline, auctioning off millions of new acres for
energy exploration, and opening up ANWR.

6. ISIS is in retreat, having been crushed in Iraq and Syria.

7. President Trump followed through on his promise to recognize Jerusalem as the

capital of the State of Israel and instructed the State Department to begin to relocate
the Embassy.
 8. With President Trump’s encouragement, more member nations are paying their
fair share for the common defense in the NATO alliance.
