Trump has been in office 1 year, what's the America First scorecard say?

I'm not going to get into a lengthy definition of America First but at its core it's preserving and strengthening the constitutional republic which is the antithesis of what those who oppose America First want. The opposition want the fundamental transformation of the US into a NWO Cultural Marxism society that melds with Globalism......no borders, no sovereign nations, a global government.
Back to the OP question.
On a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the highest rating, I would give Trump 2.0 a 3.75.
I think just shutting off the flood of illegals entering the nation warrants a 2.5 and I added another 1.25 for Trump's handling of the economy along with the almost impossible task to remove an estimated 15-20 million illegals from the US.
I would have added another 1 to my scorecard if Trump was more laser focused on destroying the enemies from within rather than getting sidetracked with potential foreign entanglements.
Let's hope and pray 2026 brings prosperity and peace to the US and more importantly the world.

The economy just hit 5% in the last quarter after a long government shutdown.
Gas is cheap as hell.
We’re kicking the hell out of our enemies.
The democrats are crying daily

Damn good, imo.
I wish he hadn’t shot his mouth off about Canada. We’d have a conservative government there now.
I hate the approach he has taken on Greenland. I can’t think of much else to criticise him for other than meaningless talk.
On the good side:
- He has finally forced allies to pay their fair share of defense.
- He has also forced them to rejigger trade agreements that were unfair.
- His tariffs are forcing certain strategically important industries back within our borders.
- He cut taxes in a productive way (not just extended the previous cuts).
- He has handled foreign policy in a smart way. He has clearly learned the lessons of Iraq, and he is striking to discipline leaders rather than trying to force an ideology on them.
- He has destroyed woke
- He has destroyed the green scam
I’d call that an A+

If Trump 2.0 doesn't mortally wound the DC Uniparty/Bureaucratic State and return power to the states everything that he's accomplishing now will be in vain. Very little of what Trump is doing through executive order will be codified into law so the Democratic Socialists will wipe it all away when they take power. Trump has to figure out a strategy to destroy the enemies from within or we'll be right back to square one or worse.

Bass Tiger is one of those Panicans that expected the country to be completely fixed in less than a full year. Everybody seems to forget that Trump won an election that consisted of a 4 YEAR TERM, not an 11 MONTH term.
If you ask me... what Trump and his team has accomplished in less than a full year is a miracle. The Jill Harris Biden regime destroyed this country. fricking destroyed it and for Trump and his team to be able to somehow keep it all together without gas prices going up, crime going up, inflation going up, etc - it has been a spectacular display of how real American leaders get shite done.
Not to mention, the border is completely closed, they have kicked out 2.5 million illegals and to be able to do all of this with extreme radical pushback from Democrats, mainstream media and their fake activist judges

That 3.75 could jump .75-1 point if I see some perp walks by the summer of 2026.

You're becoming one of the mentally fragile .....toughen up a little.

My scale goes to 10 but Trump goes to 11.
It's not that he's perfect, or even close to it. But 'America First'. Yeah, that's a no brainer.
Like most here, I'm now glad he had time to contemplate, plan and organize for his second term. I'm certain with the battles he had to fight first term... [opposition still thought they could win] were relentless.
Just think of the number of politicians and MSM critics who have been canned during that time.
I mean ... Mario & Fredo (both disgraced), Dandy Don LeMon, Jim Acosta now on Discord, CNN cratered, now MSNBC is doing the same. CBS, well Trump owns their arse (kidding/not-kidding). Jeff Bezos - Everyone at WaPo (who's left) is mad at him for (like Mark Zuckerberg) have tried to ingratiate themselves back into Trump's favor.
If they could get rid of all of the activist judges, it would be a perfect administration.
Just Amazing.

I am tough as hell. I just never expected them to have this country fully turned around in only 11 months - shite, some of y'all were expecting everything to be fully turned around back in June 2025

Who says he's sidetracked? Because RINO's and rogue judges block everything he tries to do domestically doesn't mean he's sidetracked or shouldn't fix things in foreign policy.

I started a thread that got zero traction, but imo a second component of this evaluation needs to take in effect where we would be if the twin puppets and human cartoon characters Kamala Harris and Tim Walz had "won" the election and been installed as P/VP.
The biggest single thing that Trump accomplished was defeating the corrupt Political Establishment and keeping them from continuing the hemorrhaging we experienced during the 4 years of the puppet Brandon.

You don't have to.
"America First" means whatever Trump does. Even if he's capturing the leaders of other countries and "nation-building" in Iran.
And before some window licker accuses me of it, I'm not against those things. What I'm saying is that I was for them a year ago. And two years ago. And three years ago. Etc.
People who use "America First" as a slogan were vehemently against them. If you suggested them, you were a neocon, a Globalist, a RINO, a Boomer, a Joo, the "Deep State," starting WWIII for profit, etc., etc.
Until Trump did them. Then they were badass and rad.
So since "America First" just means, "whatever Trump does," he can't really fail.
Which is the point, yeah?

Cry about what?
The nation is on the precipice of either entering a new Golden Era or succumbing to NWO Cultural Marxism, my hope is for a new Golden Era devoid of Cultural Marxist lunatics.......TBD.
