They've done plenty of positive things that you've asked for. You're just pissy that he did something you didn't like.
And instead of being a rational adult, you have to say he hasn't done anything right. You can't just be honest and practical. You have to be emotional.
It's amazing how quickly conservatives forget how bad democrat authority is. Are you not paying attention to deep blue areas?
Trump attacked a foreign country, so you are going to destroy your own country in response. That's some 4D chess right there.
Here's what you don't understand...and maybe you never will:
You and I might agree about what the most important things are, but the rest of America doesn't necessarily agree with us. This election isn't about what conservatives might remember or forget. It's about that sliver of the electorate, mostly in swing states...that crossed over to Trump and gave him a shot after the disaster of the Biden administration. 45% of all Hispanic voters and 54% of HIspanic men, for example.
So guess what...if they decide that they're sick and tired of all time world record diesel prices and how that's impacted their family budgets and decide to turn back to the Democrats, you'll get to be the one who's "pissy".

The guy who promised no new wars turned around and got us into a war with no end in sight. The American people didn't have a say. Well, in November, they get to have a say. Will the Republicans keep either the House or the Senate? I have no idea. We'll see. I hope they do. But if they don't, the central reason will be the economic impact of the war, and voters may very well decide that they can put an end to it by cutting off the money by voting in the Democrats.
Iran has been at war with the USA and the West since 1979. So there's that. Secondly, we're not sending boots on the ground Trump has been consistent about that much. So don't confuse this with Iraq or Afghanistan.
We know what the Dems will do with the economy and the law. That's not up for debate.

Yeah, well, he was pretty consistent about no new wars. If you still believe whatever Trump tells you...well, that's on you. And no, we haven't been in a military conflict with Iran since 1979.

These midterms won't be decided by you and me. They'll largely be decided by people who don't think like us.

like I believe the other stuff he's done? On immigration, the fraud, spending, Europe paying their fair share into NATO? Let's not be like the Left & cherry pick what we want to acknowledge.
And yes, we have been in military conflict. When they train soldiers to use their own ordinance and IEDs that kill OUR men in the field, that meets the standard. We can choose to acknowledge it or not, but the funding from Iran has killed Americans and many others throughout the Mid East for decades.
I'd say it's past time we ended that.

Did Trump bow at the waist like Obama did?

Are you going to back up what you say with anything or just call me a liar?
Here, I’ll help you: open Grok and ask what Trump campaigned on in 2024. Then come back and tell me what he hasn’t attempted to solve.
I can understand if you disagree with how he has attempted to get these things done, but saying he hasn’t tried is an outright lie

I understand people being upset with a couple of things Trump has done but he has also done a lot of what we voted for.
Trump isn't on the ballot for starters
But secondly he has not delivered at all on his most important campaign promises. He has done well in some areas and done very poorly in other areas.
Things he has done well IMO:
Secure the border - this could actually have long lasting effects because he has proven it can be done despite people for decades pretending that it can't. And on a similar note the deportations have been mostly successful even if the numbers aren't where we want them to be. Self deportations should be included in the numbers as well.
Trump accounts
TrumpRx
Trump Gold Card
Venezuela (even if you disagree with it, it would be difficult to claim it wasn't a successful operation)
I'd say of the things that he has done well, they're all very sensible and it's frustrating that no one had the good sense to implement these things previously. I wish these things would have been done in his first term, but he still gets credit for being the first president to actually do these things.
Things he has done poorly:
Sloppy tariff roll out and unnecessary trade frictions with allies - note this doesn't mean that we shouldn't use tariffs or adjust the dials on trade partnerships ever. It's something we've done consistently and isn't exclusive to Trump. The on again off again nonsense is what makes things more difficult on American businesses.
Iran conflict is a disaster
Cost of living issues worse - mainly because of the Iran conflict, some of that can be attributed to the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict that is out of his control (he was foolish to say he could immediately end it)
Some deregulation and government jobs cutting initiatives will cost us more in the long run
All of the family enrichment schemes make a corrupt Biden family look tame by comparison. That and the appearance of there being a lot of pay for play in the White House is disturbing
Things that are unknown at this point:
The decision to have 0 regulation on AI development could be a disaster, but it is too early to know. I think it's an absolutely awful idea but the real story there will be revealed within a few short years if not sooner.
Going forward - he still has time to resurrect his image in the second term despite some speed bumps. The middle east conflict is a pretty big speed bump to get out of but I'm an optimist. I think we'll have another round of tit for tat operations after the mid terms and we'll eventually come to some sort of deal and exit strategy.

Not the same thing. Obama was bowing, not to receive a medal which Trump is merely dipping his head, but a full from the waist L shaped bow out of it for show of submission & respect.

How about both are nothingburgers. But ODS has people brining up a guy who hasn't been president in over 10 years.

Correct

I guess anything can be nothing burger if you just choose to ignore it.

In this instance both are in fact nothingburgers
People on Fox News melted about Obama wearing a tan suit years ago. Would you agree that that was a nothing burger melt and completely silly? Certainly you have a threshold somewhere where you think things are just contrived bullshite.

I'm more concerned about the two slush funds Kushner is running. The financial ties to him from foreign states. Than I am Obama bowing to a king or Japanese emperor

Like what? Every single thing he said he was going to do, he has done and then some so what are some things that he said he was going to do that he has not done yet?

He hasn’t reduced the difference between what .gov takes in in revenue, and what .gov spends. He really never even mentions the damage that this spending will do to the long-term sovereignty of our country.
He talked about it during campaigns. He even promised to erase the deficit, but nothing.
That one little inconsequential thing is far more important that anything else. Of our 40 Trillion debt, Trump owns more than 25%.

I would change it slightly. It's our responsibility to make an informed vote and it's our responsibility to make sure the vote is legitimate (meaning the reporting/exposing/opposing of voter fraud, even if it hurts your candidate/party).

A big portion of his campaign revolved around improving cost of living metrics and not starting new stupid conflicts
He has failed on both of those campaign promises

I completely agree with you but I don’t see how he has the ability to do much about it. Congress passes the budget and they wouldn’t allow any more to be cut out of it than already was in the BBB. So I blame Congress. It does bother me that Trump isn’t more vocal about cutting spending because that’s the entire problem and it’ll result in the downfall of America
