Specifically, what reversal of Obama policy will benefit America?

To be fair, the ACA was a mess from the start.

I'd say the 2 for 1 regulation policy was a pretty good idea.
Just like Obama, it seems a lot of symbolic fluff, with some headlines and photo ops.

I agree.
The travel ban from the five failed states was also good policy although its held up in the courts.
So two good EOs so far in six months. And his lack of progress isn't all on him because Congress is a dumpster fire but it again shows the dangers of electing a populist that is light on policy.

Ok. What has he done? Got Gorushc confirmed to replace Scalia and withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord, where the benefits of doing this are dubious at best. This administration's ineptness has basically put advancing the Republican agenda to a halt.
Like I said, he hasn't done jack shite. Well, he continues to twitter bash the mayor of the most important city of our most important ally. Plus, he's managed to play golf 23 times since taking office. I'll give you that too.

I want a leader as a president. I don't have to like him/her. There are tough decisions that need to be made and hope this person can make them with the interest of the country and not the political party (both sides).
I believe Trump has the best interest of the country on foreign matters. I hope he can deliver on immigration and tax reform.

I feel like the "what has he done" argument needs to be taken seriously at the end of a term, not 6 months into it. Some of your better presidents didn't really make solid policy changes with results until into a 2nd term.
The SCOTUS appt, although not a policy, was extremely important because it could effect policies down the road, even post Trump.

I absolutely agree but the OP clearly stated that Trump is not graceful but "handles business" - which is clearly not the case so far.

Because eventually 2 for 1 catches up to you. At the very least it limits govt growth. It won't have an immediate impact. Give it a year or two. You know how politics works.
Anybody expecting immediate changes with positive results is not living in the real world that's not how our system is set up

Out of Paris Agreement
SCOTUS
Out of TPP
Just three things that I like, so i wouldn't say he has done nothing. Now, if we are going to only count what a President does that we agree with? Obama did nothing for 8 years. See how this can be played?

He's done ok. A lack of legislation is a good thing, in my book.

Depends on the legislation. We desperately need to get rid of/reform the ACA and tax reform. Both require legislative action.
Leaving the Paris Accord was very poor policy
