I'm still waiting for this good news...
So far Rogue is "celebrating" things that haven't been settled yet.
Trump's Tariff Taxes are still red hot, electronics tariffs are going to hurt Q4 shopping (Greg's stocks are gunna suffer).
NK is still chugging along with their nuclear weapons, defying Trump's deal.
And recently jobs numbers under performed because of China tariffs.
I meant news like "Trump takes climate serious, forces McConnell on Senate vote on Carbon Credits".
Believe it or not there is some Trump good news.

Obamacare
Trump didn't repeal Obamacare — he accidentally bolstered it!
Trump came into office vowing to repeal Obamacare — and even took the law to court when that failed in Congress. But his most significant imprint on the Affordable Care Act was an accidental boost that happened when he stumbled into pouring billions of extra federal dollars into subsidizing Americans’ coverage.
The move: House Republicans had tried for years to cut off subsidies that helped low-income Obamacare enrollees with the co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles that come with their health plans. In 2017, Trump finally did it through administrative means after the GOP effort to replace the law fell apart — and he immediately drew intense outcry from Democrats and policy experts who called the move “sabotage.”
The impact: The health exchanges didn’t collapse, as Trump had hoped. Instead, health plans and states quickly figured out a way to claw back the federal dollars they lost: They built the costs of the subsidies into premiums for Obamacare’s benchmark “silver” policies. This meant that premiums for these “silver” plans spiked and as a result, the premium subsidies the government had to pay for low-income enrollees vastly increased. The concept, known as “silver-loading,” grew government subsidizing of the exchanges by upwards of $20 billion per year.
The upshot: While Trump’s moves made Obamacare plans increasingly unaffordable for the unsubsidized, Democrats quickly tamped down their criticisms since it accomplished their goal of significantly boosting funding for Obamacare."
Coronavirus
Trump failed to provide workplace guidance, making safety harder for workers.
No vaccination plan.
This one was the main cause that Trump lost his re-eletion.
