What did Donald Trump accomplish as president?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump is, if nothing else, a walking, talking bullhorn for his own self-aggrandizing superlatives. In his telling he is "more presidential than any president that's ever held this office" (he made an exception for Abraham Lincoln), and "the greatest jobs president that God ever created." He's claimed at various times to be the "best thing that's ever happened to the Secret Service" and "the best builder," who knows "more about drones than anybody." There is little, if anything, in which he is not somehow a self-proclaimed expert, no matter how niche or specialized the subject may be.

When it comes to Trump's actual presidential record, however, things are decidedly less absolute. For as much as he would have the public believe his administration was the most accomplished, most successful of its kind in American history, the Trump White House was notoriously beset by disfunction and infighting. The result was a tenure akin to a political reality show in which "results" seemed less important than the optics thereof.

This isn't to say that the Trump White House didn't notch its share of achievements — far from it. Buoyed in part by two years of a Republican congressional majority eager to capitalize on a friendly administration, Trump's time in office was marked by a number of significant accomplishments. They are now worth revisiting as he asks the public, once again, to elect him for a second term.

The judiciary

Trump's "most lasting impact on the country" is likely the drastic reshaping of America's courts, Business Insider said. By installing more than 200 federal judges, including 54 who "reshaped the ideological makeup of federal appeals courts" and three who drove a "generational shift in the highest court in the land," Trump's impact on the judicial branch of government overall will "continue shaping the American legal and political landscape for decades," CNN said.

1. Trump's huge number of appointments designed by Republicans who blocked many of Obama's.

They deliberately stonewalled and dawdled and misinterpreted the laws and the US Constitution, in a massive sabotage of Barack Obama's Presidency.

2. He accomplished three things, all horrible for the country.

He signed a ginormous tax cut for the wealthy and added trillions to the national debt.

He turned the Supreme Court and several federal district courts into dysfunctional partisan courts that are wreaking havoc on our personal lives and on the ability of our regulatory agencies to do their jobs.

His third accomplishment has been to encourage white supremacy and the use of violence to overturn fair elections and to inculcate the myth of his followers being victims.

He accomplished nothing positive.

3. He ripped the guts and heart out of a great country

Because he wanted to put dollars in his pocket and now he wants to stay out of jail and what he and the disgusting maga will do next is going to be insane.
