Has Trump had a single positive achievement as President...?

[First Speaker]

...I mean, quite literally, a single one? Even Reagan, even Dubya, did *something* positive. Dubya supported libraries, thanks to his wife, and spoke out against anti-Muslim prejudice after 9/11. That's something. Not much, against his endless clusterfucks, but it's something, and I could probably find something else if I thought about it. But Trump? As far as I can tell, his "administration" has been a solid, unalloyed toxic dump. He has said nothing useful, supported nothing beneficial, appointed no one worthy to either an executive position or a court seat. Not a single exception that I can see. Can anyone think of anything...?

1. Fulfilling his campaign promises to vacation more and golf more than Obama.

[CaptYossarian]

11. That only leaves 5 days to f%$# things up. It could be worse.

[Stuart G]

15. YES, it could be much worse: Please read post #14...thank you

If you read post # 14, I think you will agree Trump has done one positive thing.(at this point)

[CaptYossarian]

24. (at this point)

He probably won't in the year he has left. He does have the nuclear football, though. Sweet dreams.

[Catherine Vincent]

2. According to republican CSPAN callers

Trump has done good things for this country... but then they never list the good things.

[dalton99a]

3. He grew older

But dumber

[Xolodno]

4. A few....

Some pardons for people where the punishment did not fit the crime. Some stronger protections in the new NAFTA bill for unions in Mexico....and some other small legislation that I can't remember. But note, none of this was his idea.

5. He's three years closer to meeting his maker.

I try to look at the bright side.

6. Elevating Kim to world class leader by meeting directly with him.

7. Can't we thank tRUMP/reTHUGS for firing up the thinking people of the left, right and in

between and giving us the Blue Tsunami at the polls in 2018? Didn't the Blue Tsunami give us
control of the House and with that Investigations and Impeachment? Thank you, tRUMP/reTHUGS,
you're getting not only what you deserve but what you ASKED for!

[proud patriot]

8. He signed the animal cruelty bill

That's about it from me .. Yep that's all I got .

[BuffaloJackalope]

9. His one positive achievement will be leaving

[karynnj]

10. Many - we see them as breaking things

He sees that he is pulling us out of the "unfair" Paris Accord - yes, I know each country chose what their commitment was. Then there was pulling us out of the "terrible Iran deal" - egged on by Netanyahu, who in that process made Israel less safe. By making the point that NATO is unfair to the US and making it weaker.

Then there is his brilliant China trade strategy - that has bankrupted some small farmers and for which he attributes the wonderful stock market - ignoring it has been increasing since 2010. The strongest economy ever with a HUGE increase in average income - I think he claims $5000 over his term. (If this is accurate, credit the high leverage points way at the top that got most of those $5000s! Note he obviously is not using the increase of the median.)

Then there are the two Supreme Court Justices, who will be there for decades most likely. At a lower level, he is appointing a huge number of young, very conservative, and often not qualified judges.

Not to mention he will claim stopping or at least slowing the flow of non white immigrants to the US. Then there is removing 100s of EPA and other regulations.

Obviously, WE do not see these as accomplishments - they are against everything we believe in. His base however does.

12. He saved the incandescent light bulb

[virgogal]

13. He saved CNN,which was floundering badly before he arrived.

Sometimes things are just damned funny,and this is one of them.

[Stuart G]

14. YES!! One positive achievement..He has NOT started a WAR!!(and that is the total truth)

...By this time into Bush Jr.'s first administration, Junior had started a war. That war killed tens of thousands of people, if you really count those Iraq citizens that were killed. The war increased the debt, and left many people on both sides disabled. War is the most awful a thing that one could start.
...Junior Bush is a killer.

...The war was started over a lie!!!!!

....Our current liar in chief, has not started a war, or lied about starting a war.
Yes, Trump has lied about many things, but he has NOT started a war, or lied over that.(up to now)

....AGAIN .... BUSH JR. IS A KILLER !!!! WAR KILLS
................... and, we must..NEVER, NEVER forget that...

....You see there is something Trump did that is very good (at this point) Trump kept us out of war. As bad as Trump is with his talk, attitude, stupidity and racism, (and whatever else you want to say) Trump has kept us out of war. And Yes, I HATE TRUMP...BUT I HATE BUSH JUNIOR MORE.

16. Yes, in an unintended way. He has shown the world how truly toxic the GOP really is.

As involved Democrats, we’ve known for decades what the Republican Party really stood for, but, until Trump, many of their worst policies were dressed up and sugar-coated enough to fool far too many voters.

The Trump administration abruptly dropped any pretense of charade, and instead revealed in broad daylight what the Republican Party truly is: fueled by hate for POC/LGBT+/women; anti-democracy; anti-science; anti immigrant; anti-education; anti-environment; anti-climate change; anti-healthcare; all with an utter disregard for the LAW.

With Trump, Republicans have shown their true colors— an outrageous mix of the Nazi swastika, the Confederate battle flag, and the banner of Mother Russia.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

23. K&R. Yes, he's exposed the nasty underbelly of the GOP they've kept concealed......

from most Americans for decades.....demolishing the state, privatization of everything and laissez-faire economics and markets.

You're spot-on about the sugar coating, especially with regard to tax and budget policy.

The GOP is primarily anti-tax and anti-regulation. The other stuff is just for show to corral more votes (a concerted effort which I feel is now out of control).

With his fascist leanings, he's also made many Americans keenly aware of how fragile our democracy may well be......

[Still In Wisconsin]

17. He attended the Army-Navy game without publicly shitting himself.

Twice!

[Skittles]

18. maybe as a reminder of what can happen if you don't vote

still, I know the bastard cheated with help from Russia

[MerryBlooms]

19. Dubya was mostly a clusterfuck, but...

Launched by U.S. President George W. Bush in 2003, PEPFAR has provided more than $80 billion in cumulative funding for HIV/AIDS treatment, prevention, and research since its inception, making it the largest global health program focused on a single disease in history.

[Generic Brad]

21. He stared at an eclipse and was not blinded

Not going blind. That’s all I’m going to give him.

[Talitha]

22. He gets the hell out of our country once in a while.

That's all I can think of.
