Many are so far left or right, even good things are bad and people grab torches and run to the mountaintop demanding impeachment, retribution, etc. There is no great president because Americans are divided and we keep our own selves stagnant in growth because our horse blinders are too deep rooted to remove. Thank god I live in the middle and refuse to slop in the same mud as many. I hope one day as a nation, we can overcome our addictions to a certain party and advance as our founding fathers hoped. However, this won't happen in our lifetime.

Whether or not Americans will view him or his achievements as "good" or "great" because they oppose his political beliefs is a fair statement... but it really doesn't address the fact that career politicians are not getting in his way. We have a system with rules and procedures, and he is used to just making unilateral decisions.

Of course people believe Trump is doing what he promised. How could you not?
Whether or not Trump has accomplished what he set out to do is not the same thing.

Each of these issues Trump promised the American people during his campaign he has taken on as president, and each of these are at various stages of progress.

The President has signed 66 executive orders, memoranda and proclamations as of April 19th, including:
* Notifying Congress of a strike on Syria after it was reported that the country used gas on its citizens.
* Dismantling Obama’s climate change initiatives.
* Travel bans for individuals from a select number of countries embroiled in terrorist atrocities.
* Enforcing regulatory reform.
* Protecting Law enforcement.
* Mandating for every new regulation to eliminate two.
* Defeating ISIS.
* Rebuilding the military.
* Building a border wall.
* Cutting funding for sanctuary cities.
* Approving pipelines.
* Reducing regulations on manufacturers.
* Placing a hiring freeze on federal employees.
* Exiting the US from the TPP

Then there is the "Trump effect" ...positive news that Trump had little or nothing to do with directly.
For example just by the mere fact that he was elected president,  illegal immigration dropped 40% after the first month, and the stock market shot upward...

* The DOW daily closing stock market average rose more than 15% since the election on November 8th.  (On November 9th the DOW closed at 18,332 – on March 1st the DOW closed at 21,115).

* Since the Inauguration on January 20th the DOW rose 6.5%.  (It was at 19,827 at January 20th and reached 21,115 on March 1st.)
* The DOW took just 66 days to climb from 19,000 to above 21,000, the fastest 2,000 point run ever.  The DOW closed above 19,000 for the first time on November 22nd and closed above 21,000 on March 1st.
* The DOW closed above 20,000 on January 25th and the March 1st rally matched the fastest-ever 1,000 point increase in the DOW at 24 days.
* The US Stock Market gained $2 trillion in wealth since Trump was elected!
* The S&P 500 broke $20 Trillion for the first time in its history.
* In the history of the DOW, going back to January 1901, the DOW record for most continuous closing high trading days was set in January of 1987 when Ronald Reagan was President. The DOW set closing highs an amazing 12 times in a row that month.  On February 28th President Trump matched President Reagan when the DOW reached a new high for its 12th day in a row!
President Trump decreased the US Debt in his first 100 days by $100 Billion.  (President Obama increased the US debt in his first 100 days by more than $560 Billion.)
The US Manufacturing Index soared to a 33 year high in this period which were the best numbers since 1983 under President Reagan.
President Trump added 298,000 jobs in his first month alone (after President Obama said jobs were not coming back!).
Housing sales are red-hot.  In 2011, houses for sale were on the market an average 84 days. This year, it’s just 45 days.
Illegal immigration is down 67% since President Trump’s Inauguration.
NATO announced Allied spending is up $10 Billion because of President Trump.

I just realized you forgot to list Trump's tax reform. Probably because it was one page. And didn't reform anything. But, it did promise a future interim report to be followed by another future interim report. Another example of doing something without doing something. Add it to His list of accomplishments.
