A few of his accomplishments:

At a recent White House press briefing, it took press secretary Sarah Sanders a full 2 1/2 minutes to list all of what Trump had overseen since his inauguration. Her list included:

• The unemployment rate is down to 4.1 percent.
• The stock market is at record highs.
• Congress "rolled back 22 regulations for every one new regulation."
• Trump pulled out of or started to renegotiate trade deals.
• He announced plans to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord and broadly put a new emphasis on energy production over environmental protection.
• The administration approved the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines.
• The Trump administration amped up immigration enforcement, and the travel ban executive order is now at least partially in effect after months of legal challenges; prototype wall segments have been constructed along the U.S.-Mexico border.
• "ISIS has lost nearly all of its territory and its most important strongholds in Iraq and Syria."
• Through executive action, Trump has eroded pieces of Obamacare.
• "We've reshaped the American judiciary for generations. Justice Gorsuch was confirmed to the Supreme Court, and 22 judges have been confirmed, including a record-setting 12 circuit judges."
  

And here's 81 more.




They're being ok with the US-South Korea military exercises and not conducting any further nuclear tests, which they have stopped (or said they'd stop) in the past, but now Trump is opening talks.  Between that and agreeing to meet, I'd say it's a pretty big victory.

No President has ever met with a North Korea leader, so that's a pretty big thing.


Which goes to show that Trump's about action and not just talk.



People have changed the conversation into things unrelated to the thread topic in order to have things to bash him about, so, yes, it is happening.

When it comes right down to it; POTUS is really nothing more than a figure head. Folks will either point to his strengths or weaknesses depending on how they feel about him as a person.

For instance I had conservative friends that voted Democrat for the first times in their lives in 2008 and 2012 and their were many that voted for Trump this past election cycle that doesn't know the difference between liberal or conservative.

All those great things you list are mostly to the GOP holding the majority Congress for some time. Now if we can just get them to pass a immigration reform bill that includes tougher borders and pathway to citizenship and perhaps an amendment to the CRA; we'll be G2G.

Something struck me the other day: If we pass a comprehensive immigration policy with GOP legislature, executive, judicial controlled government. would that mean the parties "switched" again?
