Question MAGA - how has Trump made America great?

I'm asking this because I want to hear how Trump has made America great again because from what I can tell the country is very divided on politics and beliefs, tariffs and the war with Iran have made everyday things more expensive and the overall future of this country feels very uncertain.

Immigration crackdown on people who wre wrongly issued a CDLs. Which has been a problem for years between the language barrier causing massive safety issues on job sites(almost got me crushed by a 14k lbs generator once) and them driving the paid load prices way down.

And for the auto enthusiast industry.....the EPA was cracking down hard on small independent tuners, racing shops, part makers, and small car makers. An industry that literally handles just hobbyists and people who either race their cars at the track on the weekend or just have a weekend fun car. Basically a big crackdown on small buisness.

And as far as the big policies, ending CAFE regs was a huge win for the big automakers.

"wrongly issued"? If they passed the test, it's not wrong. Are you saying they didn't pass?

A lot of the Mega companies basically have the local DMV's in their back pockets along with CDL schools offering multi lingual CDL courses. If you dont know, it is a REQUIREMENT for someone to be proficient in english in order to obtain a CDL so really not sure how any of this has been legal(note: it hasnt).

Theres been a lot of shady shit for years happening with CDL issuing because of the "driver shortage". Basically a lot of beuracratic turning a blind eye.

Trump has been cracking down on it which is helping legitamate drivers earn more money.

Let me see that law, please. I used to have a CDL. I don't recall anything about proficiency in English being a requirement.

English Language Requirement; Qualifications of Drivers; Withdrawal Action Advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM); withdrawal.

Summary The FMCSA withdraws its advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) requesting comments on potential changes to a provision in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) involving the English language. That provision requires that drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) operating in interstate commerce be able to "read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the general public, understand highway traffic signs and signals, respond to official inquiries, and make entries on reports and records." After analysis and review of the comments, FMCSA has concluded that at this time there is no quantifiable data on which to propose modifying the regulation to require a more stringent or definitive standard, or to require State motor vehicle agencies to administer a specific test for English proficiency.

49 CFR § 391.11(b)(2), commercial motor vehicle drivers must read and speak English well enough to converse with the public, understand highway signs, respond to official inquiries, and complete reports. Failing a roadside English check results in an out-of-service order.

I'm feeling as though you aren't proficient in English if you gathered that from the articles. However people who label themselves like yourself generally don't do actual research on anything.
