I wouldn't have him on my debate team but in terms of achievement he is kicking ass, while the democrats slide further and further to the extreme left.
This is laughable.
Earlier this year he pushed us into the longest government shutdown in history, and the first ever to be initiated by the executive branch. It was also the first time that we had a shutdown under a single party controlling both Congress and the White house - and we've had
three of them so far under Trum. Most recently he wanted his wall funding. He still doesn't have it.
His only legislation of any significance was a tax break for the upper class that had negligible impact on 60% of Americans. Even if you call this a win - it's his only win.
He promised to protect Medicare and Social Security - and then proposed cuts to both programs (554 Billion in cuts to Medicare, over $72 Billion in cuts to Social Security)
He's managed to sabotage the ACA and now we have fewer people insured than we did at the beginning of his term in office.
The economy - Corporate profits are up, the stock market is volatile, and the middle and working class saw a net pay decline in Q1 of 2019. So, going well there. Before you say that the President has little to do with the economy, Trump himself has used the economy as a yardstick of his success - so I'm only holding him to his own standard. Oh, and he was the one who promised to a $4,000 pay raise for the typical US family. He also promised corporations would use their tax cuts to raise wages and save jobs - nope, stock buybacks and overseas expansion.
Tax cuts for the middle class - nope, a tax hike by 2027
He promised to lower prescription drug prices. Nothing there.
He put three of his associates with no experience in charge of the VA - and the quality of veteran care has dropped significantly. They barely spent 1% of the money allocated to informing veterans about suicide and mental health programs.
The CFPB made it harder for regulators to protect military service members from predatory lending and finance practices.
Concentration camps are now a thing in the US for the first time since World War II.
Family separation has been denounced by nearly every nation and declared a violation of human rights by the UN.
His trade wars have not accomplished any of his stated goals, but have seriously damaged our relationship with our allies.
He severely damaged US credibility in pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal.
Globally, more people than ever see the US as a threat under Trump's administration.
Trump withdrew the US from the Human Rights Council.
Trump claimed to have denuclearized North Korea - which is still building new missiles and testing them. He rewarded Un by being the first US President to step foot in North Korea.
Trump rejected our own intelligence services and allied himself with Saudi Arabia after their agents murdered and dismembered Kashoggi.
"Drain the swamp" has turned Washington into a cesspool of open nepotism.
As of the start of 2019, Trump has told more demonstrable lies than any president in history, averaging about 15 lies per day for a total north of 7,600
I'm not even going to get into the Russia investigation or Russia's interference in our elections to benefit Trump.
Obstruction of justice. I mean, we fucking have him on video admitting to obstructing justice multiple times.
His administration has successfully produced the most indictments, convictions, and guilty pleas since Nixon - so congrats on that one.
He threatened Mexico with tariffs, and Mexico placated him by agreeing to do something they already agreed to do months ago. - Trump called it a success and took a victory lap despite gaining nothing.
His handling of the strike against Iran shows the utter dysfunction of his administration and him as a leader. He either is toying with starting a major war simply to play with his executive powers, or his administration is fractured and working against itself from within - either is a failure of his leadership and ability.
He promised to bring down the trade deficit "as fast as possible" - it's at an all-time high.
In 2016 he said he would eliminate the national debt in 8 years - the debt has ballooned under his administration.
How about the little stuff - he paid off a porn star to keep quiet about his affair, she went public - he tried to get a book squashed, it went to #1 on the NYT best seller list on pre-orders alone.
