President Donald Trump expressed gratitude to two Fox News guests that gave high remarks for his first year in office.
“Thank you to Brad Blakeman on [Fox News] for grading year one of my presidency with an ‘A’-and likewise to Doug Schoen for the very good grade and statements. Working hard!” Trump wrote on Twitter.
The Hill reports that Brad Blakeman who is a former deputy assistant to former President George W. Bush praised President Trump’s accomplishments in his first year.
“He’s got an ‘A,’ a strong ‘A,’ and here’s why: We’ve got a guy who is new to politics, he took the hardest job in the world, being president. He hit the ground running,” Blakeman stated on Fox Report.
“We have a new Supreme Court justice, we have grown in our economy of over 3 percent, we have full employment at 4 percent, we have a new embassy being established in Jerusalem, which is something that is long overdue,”
“Trump has a lot to be proud of,” he added.
The former adviser to President Bill Clinton, Douglas Schoen graded Trump’s first year in office as “about a ‘B.’ ”
“I’m a Democrat, but I try to be nonpartisan about this. The undeniable fact is that the economy has been very good. It’s also the case that the president has certainly asserted American power around the world,” Schoen commented.
Schoen also added that Trump played a big part to more polarization.
“The problem from my point of view is I see bipartisanship. I think we’re looking now at the government shutdown where I’m sad that we haven’t been able to get an agreement,” Schoen said.
“We weren’t able to get an agreement on health care. And the president, unfortunately, has been a little bit more divisive and polarizing in both his rhetoric and his tweets that I think is in America’s interests,” he concluded.
