Trump made America great again, says Alabama GOP: 'One of the greatest and most effective presidents'
On Saturday evening, March 13, the Alabama Republican Party presented Donald Trump with a framed resolution declaring him, "one of the greatest and most effective presidents in the 245-year history of this Republic". As per reports, this proclamation was passed unanimously by the state's GOP and presented to the former president at his current Florida residence in Mar-a-Lago resort.
"The resolution, basically, it just talks about the greatness of Donald J Trump, how he made America great again and I hope other states will follow suit," Perry Hooper Jr, a former state representative and a member of the state party’s executive committee told Fox News. "It’s just recognizing him for all the great things he has done for America for bringing back American manufacturing, cutting taxes, creating the best economy ever, building up our military.”

Aside from Hooper, the resolution was signed by Col James Henderson of Morgan County, Linda Overton of Houston County, Dennis Beavers of Blount County, Suzelle Joscy of Autauga County, Jcana Boggs of Elmore County, John Killian of Fayette County, and Ann Bennett of Lee County.
The resolution claims, “President Trump put the American people and the American worker first in all his decisions and policies,” and that Trump's Operation Warp Speed “delivered safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines in record time, which was one of the most important feats in medical history.” It also says, “Trump enacted the largest tax cuts and reforms in American history by signing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law cutting $1.1 trillion in taxes over the next decade.”
The resolution further claims, “Trump withdrew from the job-and-trade-killing Inns-pacific Partnership (TPP) and NAFTA, replacing them with the new United States-Canada-Mexico Trade Agreement; he stood up to China, bringing back manufacturing industry to the US and by increasing ‘made in the USA’ production while securing access to new markets for America's farmers,” and that he withdrew from the “job-killing” Paris Climate Agreement which “would have cost the US Nearly $3 trillion and led to 6.5 million fewer industrial sector jobs by 2040.”
“President Trump's policies led to record low unemployment rates for all Americans including African, Hispanic and Asian-Americans prior to the pandemic,” it said, adding that he appointed three constitutional conservative justices to the US Supreme Court, “each of whom will serve and protect our country for decades to come, namely, Justice Neil Gorsuch, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and JusticeAmy Coney Barren; and he also confirmed more than 220 federal judges who will interpret the Constitution as written.”
Among other things, the resolution also claims that Trump “built up and bolstered all of the US Military branches around the world and launched the US Space Force as a new branch of the military, and that he built and restored “America's standing, strength, and leadership in the international community by withdrawing from the shady Iran nuclear deal, moving the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem," and that he also "accomplished more in 48 months than Joe Biden did in 48 years as a senator and vice-president."
Once adopted, a copy of this resolution will be sent to the Republican Executive Committee of each state, to each Republican member of Alabama's United States Congressional Delegation, and to President Donald J Trump. The resolution was adopted on February 27, 2021.
