Despite Some Missteps, I think Trump is so far a success

Hasn't been the best two weeks or so of the Administration and seeing a lot of people (including myself, to some extent) feeling letdown by Trump

The big issues were the border and all the illegals let in here.

He has secured the border and while I would like to see more deportations the Administration is having to fight States and the lower level (district court) federal judiciary.
He has also gone into these deep blue cities and laid bare the ridiculousness of their leaders with respect to crime and general governance of the cities.

That in and of itself makes his term so far fairly successful.

Other issues:

he is cleaning up the military with the woke crap;
making progress in ending DEI;
his trade program has been chaotic but on the surface at least it looks like he is getting some good deals with other countries - although to be fair, time will bear out whether they actually work;


There are a few more items, I am sure, that you could put down as success or partial success - that is just quickly off the top of my head.

I am also not one who thinks keeping the Trump-1-era tax cuts is a bad thing, despite the critics saying it raises the debt.
The problems I see are:
- the constant, 'something big is coming': this is particularly out of the DOJ
- the weird Epstein files saga, something I do not understand;
- the stupid comments about Americans and H1b visas;
- getting Congress to act (which isn't something I hold against Trump all that much).


I do not fault him so much for focusing on foreign affairs - see the trade deals, and these wars were not his doing, they were thrust upon him and he has largely done a good job with them, imo. I would prefer us to be more forceful with Ukraine, but all in all i think he has turned a bad situation for the US there into a neutral one.


All in all it seems far from doom and gloom like I am seeing from a segment of people.
