Name one thing that Trump has done right since becoming president.
If I get enough answers, I would like to write his list of achievements as president!

and by regularly you mean "hasn't missed a day yet".

Anyone that eats a T-Bone or Ribeye well done with ketchup is just simply not all there.

(33,189 posts)Youknow, being "optimistic" as instructed by my mental health care specialist.
Anyway, the only thing even remotely positive I've been able to conjure up and it's not really anything Trumpenfurter has personally done is...
That lumpy sack of rotten oranges is living proof that anyone can become the President of the United States. Sad.
But, there it is... One positive thing. Sorta.

(3,784 posts)This morning I learned that Trump is doing an incredible job, and the way we know this is because the libtards are screaming and crying and moaning so much. See, apparently "libtards" only complain when Republicans come in and make everything better, and we hate America so much that we can't stand to see it succeed. So the measure of success is how much "libtards" complain. If we all go silent, that's when things are going wrong.
Again, these were the intellectual musings of someone I saw in the comments section of a Facebook post. So you KNOW you can take it to the bank. It was followed up by some rambling about how when Obama took office, he immediately screwed up everything and it's only JUST NOW being fixed. I swear, I don't know how some people find their way home at night.

(1,058 posts)Of course, his first choice was terrible, and he had trouble getting a second choice who was willing to work with him.
I sort of like the fact that he said FU to China and had a conversation with Taiwan. I'm not a fan of the political theater that we go through to not recognize that Taiwan is a country, but to sell them arms. Taiwan is a country by any meaningful measure, and should be treated as one. The fact that the Chinese want it back is sort of irrelevant. If we were to play this well (and I doubt that we will), then the threat of normalizing relations with Taiwan could be used as leverage against China against their South China Sea military adventures. They could agree to scale those back (i.e. go back to the way it was), and we could agree to maintain the status quo on Taiwan. I don't give Trump full credit here, because it feels like "did the right thing but for the wrong reason".
I'm really at a loss for other things he's done "right", but there are some positive things to come out of the Trump administration:
1. The whole administration is late night comedy gold
2. I've learned to be careful of my microwave spying on me
3. There's a level of activism that has been ignited that is much broader than what I've seen before, including from people that I've never known to be politically active

I was going to say TPP, but you still need a trade plan to replace it. All Trump has come up with are tariffs.
