U.S. Senator David Perdue (R-GA) recognizes President Donald Trump’s successful first 500 days in office:
 
“President Trump’s first 500 days will be defined by promises made and promises kept. He is listening to the American people and moving at a business pace, not a bureaucratic pace. When the President took office, he made it clear that job one was growing the economy. To do that, he worked with Congress to focus on three things: reducing onerous regulations, unlocking our energy potential, and changing our tax system. As a result, consumer confidence is at a 17-year high, CEO confidence is at a 20-year high, and we have created nearly three million new jobs.
 
“President Trump has confirmed the most circuit court judges of any President in their first year, and conservative Neil Gorsuch was confirmed to the Supreme Court. We have a president who is reinvesting in our military and working to clean up the VA for our nation’s heroes. Last month, the President followed through on his promise to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. We are strengthening relationships with our international allies and holding rogue regimes accountable. President Trump continues to put the American people first and work to create a level playing field.”
