Positives: He's the first politician in history to actually attempt to fulfil election promises, no matter how nuts they were haha
He's highlighted the flaws in Washington.
He's highlighted the flaws with mass media.
He's highlighted that far-right and far-left are equally idiotic.
He's responsible for some awesome memes.
He kept Hillary out of office.
Negatives: He's a complete and utter tool.

To be honest he has got a lot done (none of it good mind).
Since Obama took the piss out of him at the White House Press Corps Dinner in 2011 he has been saying that he intended to undo everything done by Obama and obliterate his presidential legacy, at the moment the only thing that seems to be resisting Trumps wrecking ball is Obamacare and we all know how much that is pissing him off.
As well as that he has managed to use federal money to turn the fortunes of one of his hotels around. Prior to his swearing in the particular hotel was predicted to make a $2million loss this year because it is only managing 55% occupation where all his competitors in the same area are running at 65% (difference between profit and loss). However since coming to power he has managed to funnel enough federal money into it that it is reporting a $2million profit so far.
He has also opened federal land up for his oil industry backers to exploit while at the same time gutting the EPA making it easier for the same backers to pollute without consequences. He has also seized indian reservation land for the same oil companies to drive 2 pipelines through what is supposed to be independent Indian Protectorates.
So all told I would say he has managed to achieve a lot by Presidential Decree. |

On average politicians try to implement 70% of their proposals. Its only because of things like underperformance and slim majorities like the UK, divided govt like Ireland and the filibuster in the senate that stop more of the winners agenda being passed. Laws are tough to pass if their not obvious needs and thats the way it should be to prevent upheaval every 4 - 5 years. |

Not checked your link...
Is that an article that explains how Trump removed political oversight from commanders in the field in Iraq and Syria when he took office and as a result in the first 6 months of his presidency he has presided over the killing of more in those 2 countries than Obama did in 8 years? |
