Good. Trump needs to continue rolling back Obama's abuse of power, and also move his own agenda forward. The Tax cuts are a good first step, as is the removal of the Obamacare FINE (Penalty/Tax/whatever you want to call it). Next is to further secure the border, and repeal Obamacare. Trump has already dumped a lot of NEEDLESS Regulations. He is just doing what he said he would, even with all the background noise form the Democrat/Media alliance.

This kind of stuff from the WH, where it's all about promotion and self-congratulatory shit is the absolute worst of Trump. Yes, he's made some decent policy changes, and yes most of what he's done is beneficial to the US, I'll give him that, but crowing about it from your own press box is bad form. At least to me anyway.
Here's where I get off. ACA NOT repealed(I know, congress, yada, yada). Not one foot of border wall constructed. Trump reverses the halt of giving army weapons to local/state police forces.
YMMV

If he did not engage in "self congratulations" then how would anyone know about the good things he is doing?
Oh yeah, CNN and MSNBC and HUFPO and Washpo and NYT and all the others would lead with it. Right?

* A new executive order to boost apprenticeships. ?
* First, the president declared a Nationwide Public Health Emergency on opioids. ?
* Created a VA hotline. ?
"Major" achievements. Yeah, OK. I would have left about 20 of them off and done it different.
People who don't support trump aren't going to be impressed, and people who do support Trump don't need the BS.

Obama had the MSM cheering him on and making press about all of his great achievements (as if there were actually any) so there was no need for the WH to promote themselves, save for the many speeches Obama gave where he constantly congratulated himself and made references to himself over and over.
The other story the MSM won't give Trump any credit for is the nearly total destruction of ISIS. Trump allowed the military to do their job and ISIS is almost gone. BHO had tied the militaries hands and ISIS grew to a major threat, and all BHO could do is call them. "JV team".
And of course what angers the progressives is Trump is following through with his campaign promises. Imagine that?
Nothing is perfect, but swamp draining is a long slow process.

BO had the softest, and most accomodating press of any prez in history. Maybe because of his skin color, clearly because of his party. Trump has had the hardest, and least accomodating press in history. So the motivation is clear on why Trump wanted this stuff out there, but jeezalou, have a tiny bit of class about it.
Trump seems to be trying to do the inverse of 'you didn't build that'. And - ok, so he's got a point. Means and method however are sorely lacking.
