Kicked the shut out of IS IS
Major tax cut and deregulation.
Record employment numbers for minorities.
EliminatIon of AH CA mandate
Armed the Ukranians with offensive weapons
Increased our defense budget
Then after Pelosi and the Dems shoot themselves in the foot with impeachment he'll be re-elected, take back the house and gain even more seats in the Senate without assholes like Flake and McCain. Then he'll get back to even more winning..

Yes, ISIS is basically non-existent in Iraq. There are still pockets of ISIS fighters still in Iraq. But this is definitely a positive for Trump. The big question is what happens when U.S. troops are removed from Iraq because the Iraqi army sucks. On the other hand, ISIS remains alive and well in other parts of the world.
Major tax cut. Basically for the rich and corporations. The middle of the middle class got a 1.6% increase in net income. I got a 2.8% increase in social security which means the Cost Of Living increased almost twice as much as the middle class got in a tax reduction. Net loss for most in net income.
Deregulation. Again, this depends on which side of the fence you stand. Deregulation Executive Orders by Trump were primarily good for businesses. Bad for the environment.
ACA Mandate -- Elimination of a tax penalty for those who do not have health insurance. If you are a healthy individual who opts to not have health insurance, this is good for you. Since the person is healthy, insurance cost is low. But they helping those who are not so healthy and need health insurance at a higher cost from obtaining it at a lower cost. Unfortunately, one of the major downsides to the ACA.
Armed the Ukranians with defensive weapons -- good or bad? I don't know. So minor in the grand scheme of things.
Increased our defense budget -- I'm fine with that.
Now let's look at a few of the negatives:
After Republicans complained about Obamacare for 8 years, Trumpcare couldn't even get to a vote. Why? It was a disaster.
Healthcare is the #1 priority among voters and Trump has done zero to address the issue.
Border security, aka "the wall", has gotten nowhere in almost 2 years. Even with a Republican POTUS and Congress. In a poll just conducted, by a margin of 57-36 Americans want Trump to compromise on his wall to avoid a government shutdown. If you saw the "discussion" on Tv between Trump, Pelosi, Schumer, and Pence (who you would never know was there unless you saw him.I guess little children should be seen and not heard) Pelosi did a beat-down on Trump.
Tariffs implemented by Trump are going to lead to an economic disaster unless removed in the very near future. The stock market already has been affected majorly. Costs of many items in this country will increase which will increase the cost of living considerably, and it is high already under Trump. The dreaded word "recession" is appearing more and more.
Worldwide, the global image of the U.S. has plummeted under Trump. 70% have no confidence in Trump. 37% believe the U.S. is doing less to address major global problems. Only 14% believe the U.S. is doing more. If someone is a "nationalist" then this won't bother them. I do care.
