Pretty simple thread really. On one side put what stood out to you as things Trump has done well in his tenure. On the other side put things he did you disagree with. Interested to see what stands out to different people and what I have forgotten about over the past couple of years.

Erase 0bamas entire agenda: good


Signed 2 spending bills that were subpar: not good


Appointed 2 Conservative SCOTUS justices: good

Not sure what an immigration reform would look like these days. It seems that both sides want the same thing in reform, but for some reason it will be chaos because of libs being all cray cray now.

Yea, the fact that immigration hasn’t been figured out by now is an enigma to me. Deport people as soon as they come across and you won’t need to worry about splitting families. No idea how our government is incompetent enough to let someone overstay a visa 10+ years without notice

Agree although I'd add foreign policy to jury is out. He lacks a coherent foreign policy and too many of the "wins" are actually still TBD. I'd put "culture wars" in the TBD category too. He's trolling the shite out of people but I'm not sure if it'll ultimately help or not.

NOT SO WELL:

Good:
Court appointees
Economy

Poor:
Major Legislation
Cabinet appointees and staff
Not firing Comey day one

Much of the negative can be put on the Congress, not firing Comey day one, and inaccurate tweets.

Without Mitch he would have only one SCOTUS pick. Mitch waiting over 400 days really paid off for Trump.

He has not run enough people out of the country who said they were moving when he won.

National security.
Massive failure.
Never dismissed Flynn even after FBI explained he was compromised by Russian agents.

Implication is intentionally engaging in treason by Trump.
Supported by dismissing us translator.
Supported by personal cell use.
Supported by Roger stone.

Grow a pair McConnell. You will be faced with the evidence.
Brace yourself.

I grudgingly accept better behavior by nk in return for Trump giving up campaign pledge that yours truly wanted very much, that is the revalue of Chinese money by a lot. Chinese spokespeople shite bricks over it and he dropped it in the middle of nk negotiations.

Wow that is impressive. You don’t disagree with a single policy he has made? Even the most die hard trump supporters I know still question him on some things

Well:
Economy
Repealing Obama era regulations
Foreign Policy

Bad:

Budget or the lack there off(yes congress proposes a budget but he could declined to sign spending bills until a budget was proposed.
Draining the swamp (he still has way to many swamp creatures around him)
