Good:
Solid America first agenda and good economic results
Great improvement in the judiciary
Outs the Marxists and other various moonbats
Skullfricks the fake news outlets daily
Does well in his major addresses to the nation
Bad:
Appeasing the establishment has led to some bad hires and subsequent volatility
Ugly:
No helicopter rides as of yet

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
Plus we are still arm wrestling.
No trade deal yet.

Well:
He supposedly wants to get the troops home from overseas and end all those endless conflicts
Economy, but only for the most super wealthy people. Also the other good economic stuff is not because of anything he did, but what Obama started
Poorly:
Committing treason
Being a criminal/crook
Tweets/making stuff up out of thin air
Brainwashing his supporters and encouraging violence
Lying every day
Poor choices with SCOTUS judges
Huge tax cuts for the wealthy, not middle class
Driving up the debt
Being Putin's bitch/errand boy
The Wall (terrible idea)
Shutting down the government

I will admit the economy is doing well; but, I am concerned about the long term affects of the deficit (and so should your children who will have to pay for it eventually.
He certainly made gains in posting jobs (while losing some with the tariff negotiations).
He prevented a far left supreme court nominee potentially; that is good so long as his selections turn out to follow the true rule of law.
He has made a mockery out of untruths, half-truths, exaggerations, outright lying and being petty;
He has screwed up foreign policy. NATO is important to reign in Russia.
He has weakened the national security of this country.
He is not very educated on what the presidency actually entails since he had zero governing experience.
He seems to run the country like he ran his businesses---leverage the contractors; engage in huge debt with the threat of bankruptcy affecting his liabilities and treating people like shite.
He has divided the country. It is either MAGA people or not important. That is bad.
He spends more time on the toilet tweeting than listening to his intelligent advisors.
He has his family (loyalty issues like a mob moss) too close. None of them or able to govern and none of them should have security clearances.
He is petty (think I said that but will say again since it is not presidential.
He is not really that intelligent---he was handed a silver spoon by his father and he lied about the succession and how much he really was given. He is NOT a self made man....his family put him where he is and it shows---he has never had to worry about the next meal or paying bills like those he welcomes into his flock.
He has, wonderfully, made people think about their government.
He has, horribly, enabled useless leftists like AOC and Bernie and that Minnesota congresswoman nut-job.
Overall, we would have been much better with Kasich or any other Republican President.
In history, his presidency will be viewed as one of chaos, lying, lying, lying, incompetence, scandal, corruption and fake news (most of it coming out of his pie hole.
Hopefully we learn and elect someone who is at least a decent human being with some degree of governing knowledge.
To those that think he is an emperor...he wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

Thanks.
Saved me some typing.
Would add pushing NATO to pay up and exposing the msm, Hollywood and much of DC for what they are.

Well: Rolling back regulations, tax cuts, court appointees.
Poorly: Deficits, foreign policy, draining the swamp, immigration, downsizing government, tariffs, ending wars, threat of future wars, DOJ....
He has been better than HRC but has still failed on many levels.

White House and Government Staffing
You know how a lot of people say that a quite a few Never Trumpers and MAGA skeptical republicans are working in the White House and Trump has no idea about them?
I really believe that this is true now considering that I read a few days ago that White House staff did everything they could to stop the President from meeting with angel moms and made sure no one told him about them who were opposed to that amnesty shite sandwich he prostrated himself to sign.
And then there's Kirstjen Nielsen lying to him about the poison pills in the bill to get him to sign it and she was part of the Bush crowd as well.

Good:
Economy
Foreign affairs
National security
Bad:
Failed to jail liberals
Did not send liberals to concentration camps ( still hopeful this will happen)
No public execution of progressive leaders
I am hoping that the things he has failed at listed above in the “ bad “ column will be addressed in his second term.

Thanks for the list and the opinion. You seem like someone who can sit at a table and share a beer (or whatever) with someone who has a few different views than you in a civil manner.
Agree with you and concede the point about the deficit..with the caveat that he is not the one solely responsible at all for the deficit...he has not, however, addressed it as you have said.
I would say to you that yes, he has created jobs, and more importantly, "real" jobs that are not JUST service industry/retail garbage jobs....I will concede that the jury is still out (but I am hopeful) on the tariff negotiations....
This by far could be his biggest legacy, if not saving this republic, than at least delaying his demise for another 30-40 years.
He is brash, abrasive, and profane sometimes....however, every damned POTUS we've ever had has done what is described above. Case in point for example: Trump tweets and speaks "petty;" Obama was "petty" in his deeds, for example weaponizing the IRS against non leftist/liberal organizations.
I lumped these two together. I cannot even get started with how absolutely wrong those two statements are. Nothing could be further from the truth. He has restored the United States' foreign policy around the globe by re-engaging as the leader of the free Western World, has so far given much needed desperate attention to our military, has made this country and our national security MUCH stronger after eight years of surrender, appeasement, self loathing, apology, and absolute weakness and retreat. Just because our Western European Allies are mad that their Daddy finally got home while they misbehaved and is whipping them in to shape after a long absence, they know they are ineffective and feckless without our leadership and presence since 1945.....
Maybe he hasn't made a priority of surrendering to the whacko mentally ill tiny percentage of fringe leftists and socialist democrats and he calls them out and BLASTS them (rightfully), but that is NOT dividing our country. His predecessor truly divided this country, and fomented a culture of setting back race relations by 50 years, created division and hatred towards police and other valued institutions in this country. You might want to revisit this stance on WHO has divided this country.
Now your bias is coming out a little I think...yes, he was given a million or two when he was a young man. But to say he didn't parlay that into an empire (and yes, ups/downs/bankruptcies) is selling him short. 90% of people given a million or two would have pissed it away in less than a generation. Is he supposed to apologize for having a rich father and then as a legacy building it way farther than his father ever did?
Ridiculous statement. So he has, as you admitted, an economy doing well (probably the best in many many years), yet you say he has enabled leftists? I would argue with you that all he did was make them take off their costumes and out themselves for the filth and scum that they actually are....so your should give that a plus/positive for the President.
Not in the United States of America it won't be viewed like that....maybe in Iran. Also, "fake news?"
Anyways, thanks again for your post and seriously for once, I am not trolling. I enjoyed reading your viewpoint.

Good:
Trade deals
NASA
Space Force
Generally technology friendly
Effort with North Korea
Started process to end war on drugs
702 surveillance extension
Bad:
Generally his environmental policy is pathetic -- giving/selling lawmaking ability to industry is an injustice.
0.75 trillion military budget
Pro-Israel
Uses taxation and threats to revoke subsidies/grants as a weapon if an entity disagrees with him publically
3d printed gun fiasco
Actively supported civil asset forfeiture prior to convictions
I don't understand why he makes up random stats/lies to support his positions.

When it comes to a place as unstable and anti-western as the mideast is, you're not going to do much better than Israel.
They will always be a part of any American coalition against Iran, Russia and China.

Good :
Foreign policy
-china, confronting and truly changing public opinion on both sides of aisle that China is our biggest threat and trying to change our relationship (something he's talked about for decades).
- North Korea, working to peace once he scared the frick out of them
- Iran, he's shifted from Obamas shite policy and rallied Arab nations into working together And even with Israel to confront Iran
- Israel, moving the embassy to show our solidarity and also reality while stopping the pacififying of Palestinians (and cutting their funding)
- ISIS, bombing the shite out of them and taking back all of their territory
- seeking peace deals in Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan and bringing troops home
- Russia, I love that he's pushing our energy policy to European countries to weaken Russia's influence, also armed Ukraine, killed 200 Russians And confronting them in Syria and Venezuela
- NATO, getting other members to increase spending and more focus on terror
- Venezuela, using political and sanction leverage to help end a crisis
- S Korea to pay more for troops
Trade
- Renegotiated NAFTA
- New trade deal with S Korea
- negotiations with Europe and China
Economy
- almost every economic indicator is improved
- tax reform
- Opportunity Zone tax incentives (huge fan of this)
- gutting regulations
Judges
- 2 conservative Supreme Court judges
- packing lower courts with conservatives
Criminal Justice reform
Health care improvements via association plans ( more choices) and expanding generic drugs. Also pushing price transparency
Bad
His comms team sucks
Says dumb shite
Needs to go further on criminal justice reform and decriminalize weed
Tariffs are bad but I understand why he's using them for leverage
Working with congress to cut spending
Unloyal staff breeding chaos
