I’m also not yet convinced that Trump has achieved anything much more than promotion of hatred of immigrants, division between Americans and the fostering of weird white grievances.
Maybe your list is different. I’d be happy to see it.
If Trump had not followed through on any of his promises to his base, you'd be praising him. Democrat hatred of Trump means he must be doing something right as far as I'm concerned, given how fervently Democrats hate Trump supporters and our America first agenda.
If Trump followed through on his economic promises, I would praise him for those successes. I even have a thread tracking progress on his many promises. It currently needs an update for some added since his election, such as his tariff rebate/stimulus checks (which seem more of a ‘
you get a toy pony, please vote for me’ bribe than practical policy … I’d wager you’d agree with that).
Besides twisting the screws down on immigrants regardless of their status - and the related rejection of immigration in general - what are the current Administration’s successes, and how have you and your neighbors benefited economically?
How is our debt future looking, now that the Administration has continued to increase it?
How is having elected a potential child diddler a demonstration of Republican commitment to values?
