WHEREAS, President Trump made great improvements to the United States during his time as president and will continue to Make America Great Again; and

WHEREAS, in order to avoid American money, manpower, and resources being sent to support organizations whose interests are not always aligned with those of the United States, President Trump withdrew from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization in 2017, the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2018, and the World Health Organization in 2020, as well as from the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, and the Paris Climate Accord; and

WHEREAS, President Trump’s actions during his first term had a positive effect on the American people and the resilience of American government; and

Roberts’ House Joint Resolution 8, which directs the Transportation Cabinet to designate the portion of Kentucky Route 18 in Boone County from mile point 0 to mile point 11.775 as the “President Donald J.
