On the eve of his impeachment, President Donald Trump sent Nancy Pelosi a six-page letter.

Maybe you heard about it?

There's a big fat paragraph right in the middle of it where he lays out what he sees as

his accomplishments thus far as President.

They are, in order, the economy, what he calls a rebuilt military, what he calls a reformed

VA, more than 170 new federal judges and two on the Supreme Court, tax cuts, regulation

cuts, the elimination of the individual mandate, the first decline in prescription drug prices

in half a century, space force, protecting the Second Amendment, criminal justice reform,

less ISIS in the world, a different NAFTA for the continent, something-something-on-trade

with China, new trade deals with Japan and South Korea, withdrawal from the Iran nuclear

deal diddo for the Paris Climate Accord, becoming the world's top energy producer, throwing

all sorts of bones to Israel, reducing illegal border crossings, ending what he calls catch

and release, and building what he calls the wall.

Before the President published this list, Matthew Glacias at Vox made his own.

So we thought we'd close out the year with a conversation about the President's first

three years in office, and where his accomplishments in those three years leave us in this ever-forth

coming election in 2020.

You know, I think it's useful when you try to think about Trump and actual policy-making,

just to distinguish.

One thing is in the short term, the economic situation, which is so central to his politics

and politics in general, and then the other is what are changes he's made that have had

a kind of a more lasting impact.
