Really???? How about withdrawing from that stupid and money sucking Paris Climate Agreement?
He's doing what he was elected to do. We really don't care about anything else.

I have posted previously in this thread the links to the opinions of others who point to the lack of any significant accomplishments by Trump so far. So we have their opinions against your opinion.
Whether withdrawing from the TPP was beneficial to the U.S. is yet to be seen.
Exactly which Obama era regulations were dismantled that have been proven to be helpful to this country?
The Dow went from 6600 to almost 19,000 under Obama. An increase of maybe 250% It is now at about 21,500. A nice increase but the increase has been mainly attributed to speculation by businesses that Trump will be able to lower the corporate tax from 35% to 15% and he will follow up on his promise to deregulate to their advantage. See text in red below. If Trump does not meet his promises, it will be interesting to see what happens.
Stocks — which also managed record levels last week — have been on a rip-roaring rally since the U.S. election, as investors have piled on to bets that the new administration will be able to enact significant corporate tax cuts and deregulation.
The majority opinion is that withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord was a mistake. Very little downside to staying in it and a possible huge upside.
Now the important question. Of the "accomplishments" you listed, which one or ones have impacted your life? If you have major investments in the stock market, that's a plus. If not, it is meaningless. I doubt the TPP affects your life at all. The Obama regulations? Again, no impact to the average person.
I care about a major reduction in my taxes. I care about health care that is available and affordable FOR ALL. So far there's only been a lot of talk from Trump with little to no accomplishments. My opinion and the opinion of most. Other than yourself who seems to go through life with blinders on.
