Trump says the isolated state will not be allowed to threaten the United States with a ballistic missile tipped with a nuclear warhead -- a prospect that is just months away from becoming a reality.
And the President is getting a taste for living up to his promises."
Hang on, its going to be a long ride...not even two years in and many promises fulfilled.

What the country got, even with the flawed ACA, was about 20 million Americans getting health insurance who could never afford it before. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/22/health/obamacare-health-insurance-numbers-nchs.html
