He's in office less than 100 days and you're ready to judge him as successful? I'd like to see a list of his accomplishments and successes.
ahh, here is a short list - hope it helps!
first accomplishment - kept Hillary Clinton from being elected (huuuge)
employment numbers rose for January and February
coal mines opened for 68,000 employees
Bulk of cabinet members have already been approved, despite Democrat posturing
withdrew from TPP
reinstated the Mexico City policy (against foreign abortion company funding)
Keystone pipeline
ended "catch/release" immigration policy
ended sanctuary city funding
ended the ridiculous transgender bathroom order (leaves it up to individual States)
ordered agencies that for every 1 new regulation proposed 2 regulations must be eliminated
Nominated Supreme Court judge
reduced debt by $100B
has undermined ACA
budget proposal
travel ban
Philadelphia Fed Index highest since 1984
small/med business confidence at 12 year high (Reuters)

Samsung is coming back to US with 500 jobs and $300m
Exxon moving jobs back
Fiat investing $1B
Hasbro bringing Play-Doh manuf back to US
Illegal immigration from Mexico down 40% in first month
disrupted that rather stagnant nature of "status quo" politics inside the beltway
has forced the vast majority of Liberals to actually research and learn about their own country, their own Constitution, their own history.
Source for the coal employment figure? This appears nearly
unchanged since last year. Reference:

Also:
- Fiat investment has been in the works for well over a year.
- Stock market is backtracking on gains.
- Employment numbers for January and February really cannot be attributed to any Trump policy and are part of a rather long trend going on for years, now.
- Same for the Philadelphia Fed, with an 8-month solid upward trend - see:
https://www.philadelphiafed.org/researc ... 17/bos0317- The travel ban is dead again.
- An amicus brief is already challenging the poorly-written 'sanctuary city' executive order.
- The 'budget proposal' is only that, and is already facing fierce criticism even from some Republicans.
- Samsung proposal is unconfirmed. Will likely flame out like their phones.
- Failed leadership on the ACA has resulted in Republicans and Trump running away from allowing a vote.
- As for Play Doh: "Hasbro executives deny adding a U.S.-based output in response to warnings made by President Donald Trump. Trump has threatened to squeeze U.S. companies that produce their goods overseas by increasing taxes. The company says it was only seeking to increase production after a period of consistently solid Play-Doh sales." As reported by Fortune magazine.
We could look at more of your list, but I'm typing on a phone, and it's not worth debunking so much at such a slow rate of speed.
ETA: I see that Grindael is also picking this list apart.
How desperate do you have to be to list this as an accomplishment?
