The claim: President Donald Trump achieved these 10 things

As President Donald Trump is in the final stretch of his bid for
reelection, some of his supporters are pointing to accomplishments the
president supposedly has achieved since he took office in 2017.

�President Donald Trump over the last week did the following, but you
probably won't hear about it from the News,� the Facebook post reads,
accompanied by three muscle-flexing emoji and an American flag emoji.

The post then lists 10 supposed accomplishments, from making vaccines
voluntary to busting global trafficking rings. The original poster did
not
respond to USA TODAY�s request for comment.

Here�s a breakdown of each claim.
1. Trump made vaccines voluntary, not mandatory. The military will check
purity and distribute vaccines

Every state in the U.S. requires children to be vaccinated against
certain
diseases as a condition for attending school. Those laws have been put in
place by state governments, not the federal government.

For example, all states require vaccinations against DTaP, MMR and polio
to attend any school, while the HPV, influenza and Hepatitis A and B
vaccines are required by some states, but not all.

All school immunization laws offer exemptions to children for medical
reasons, and 45 states plus Washington, D.C., grant exemptions for
religious reasons, according to the National Conference of State
Legislatures. Just 15 states allow exemptions for philosophical reasons.

before it's fully tested

It�s possible this claim stemmed from comments the president made at a
May
15 press briefing regarding the production of the COVID-19 vaccine.

�We�re looking for a full vaccine for everyone that wants to get it,�
Trump said. �Not everybody is going to want to get it.�

At that same press conference, Trump indicated the military may be
involved in the distribution of the vaccine, asserting that once the
vaccine is ready the government will �deploy every plane, truck and
soldier required to help distribute it to the American people as quickly
as possible.�

Trump�s claim about military distribution was later refuted by White
House
and Defense Department officials, according to McClatchy DC. USA TODAY
found no evidence indicating the military will check the purity of the
vaccine.

2. Trump defunded the World Health Organization �forever� and wants an
investigation into its operations

Trump announced in April that he planned to stop funding the World Health
Organization.

�Today I�m instructing my administration to halt funding of the World
Health Organization while a review is conducted to assess the World
Health
Organization�s role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of
the coronavirus,� Trump told reporters April 14. ��As the organization�s
leading sponsor, the United States has a duty to insist on full
accountability.� World Health Organization headquarters in Geneva.

Whether the president can actually stop funding WHO is another question.
Congress holds the country�s spending power, so if Congress mandates aid
to WHO by statute, Trump has no constitutional authority to deny it,
according to an "Expert Forum" analysis published by the American
Constitution Society, a left-leaning organization. However, current
appropriations laws give the administration some flexibility over WHO
funding, so the administration may have the authority to withhold funding
until Congress eliminates that flexibility, the analysis explains.

The U.S. still owes WHO money, too.

AFP reported that as of May 31, the U.S. owed WHO $203 million in
outstanding assessed contribution fees, according to a WHO status report.
As of Aug. 31, the U.S. owes WHO about $99 million, that report states,
indicating the U.S. has paid WHO since Trump�s claims were made.

3. Trump canceled the Democrats� HR6666 bill, known as the COVID-19
TRACE
Act, that was the basis for Bill Gates� diagnosis and tracking project,
which was also canceled

The TRACE Act, introduced by Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., in May, is still
active.

The bill would provide $100 billion in grants to organizations that
perform COVID-19 testing, tracing and at-home services. Eligible entities
include some health centers, nonprofit organizations and some hospitals
and schools, according to Congress� summary of the bill. It also could be
used to pay staff or purchase personal protective equipment.

It was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on May 1.
To
become law, next, the bill will need to pass out of the committee and
pass
in the House and Senate. Then, it will need to be signed by the
president.

USA TODAY has previously reported that Bill Gates was not involved in
crafting the bill.

"In our home state of Washington, our staff have provided advisory
support
to public health officials on their COVID-19 response efforts,� the Gates
Foundation told USA TODAY in a statement. �This has included
participating
in discussions about epidemiological approaches, such as testing,
isolation, contact tracing and quarantine. The Gates Foundation has not
provided grant funding to expand contact tracing in the U.S.�

Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates announces Thursday, June 15, 2006, in
Redmond, Wash., that he will transition from day-to-day responsibilities
at the company he co-founded to concentrate on the charitable work of the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. 4. Trump canceled Bill Gates� project
known as ID2020

ID2020 is not Bill Gates� project, and Trump hasn�t canceled it.

Dakota Gruener is ID2020�s executive director. She launched the ID2020
Alliance program after working at Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, where she
worked as the right hand woman to the CEO, according to her staff bio.

Founding partners of the program include Microsoft and Gavi, which is
where the Gates connection comes in. Gates co-founded Microsoft, and Gavi
receives funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

5. Trump opened a complaint platform to report censorship on Facebook,
Twitter and YouTube

The Trump administration launched a website in May asking for examples of
Americans being censored on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter
and YouTube.

At the time, the form asked users to submit their name, phone number and
whether they are a U.S. citizen, USA TODAY reported. Then it asked for
incidents of censorship.

"SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS should advance FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Yet too many
Americans have seen their accounts suspended, banned, or fraudulently
reported for unclear 'violations' of user policies," the White House
website reads.

The website says it is no longer accepting new responses.

6. Trump issued an executive order to reopen states; governors who refuse
will be sued

Trump did not sign an executive order requiring states to reopen,
according to the Federal Register, which archives executive orders, and
even if he did want to open states, it�s not likely he�d have the power
to
do so.

"Trump has no authority to ease social distancing, or to open schools or
private businesses," Kathleen Bergin, a professor at Cornell Law School,
told NPR. "These are matters for states to decide under their power to
promote public health and welfare, a power guaranteed by the 10th
Amendment to the Constitution. Despite what he claims, no president has
absolute authority over domestic policy, and he certainly has no power to
override the type of measures that have been taken across the country
that
have proved successful in flattening the curve.� President Donald Trump

The idea of taking legal action against governors� COVID-19 lockdown
plans, however, was raised by Attorney General William Barr in April, USA
TODAY previously reported.

"We�re looking carefully at a number of these rules that are being put
into place," Barr said in an interview with conservative talk show host
Hugh Hewitt on April 21. "And if we think one goes too far, we initially
try to jawbone the governors into rolling them back or adjusting them.
And
if they�re not and people bring lawsuits, we file statement of interest
and side with the plaintiffs."
