I'm starting this thread so Farmstud won't hijack Vitaman's very good thread on Trump's isolation.
Interesting question Farmstud. I can't think of any that represented a change, where the positives outweighed the negatives. There must be something though.
I had high hopes when he came to office that his trade policy would make more sense than Trump's, but those were dashed.

Capping drug prices like Insulin at $35 a month and total out of pocket at $2000 per year for seniors is a notable policy. Trump tried to do the $35 with an Executive order but that isn't as powerful. Biden got it through congress which is enforceable.
It takes years to realize any benefits or negatives to major policy changes. Usually into the next presidential term or after.
Reality is a President might sign the bills but it is a long process to get things through congress. Executive orders are limited in scope and are easier to overturn buy courts or congress...
