Thank you
@Emjay The article confines itself to foreign policy matters and not the domestic issues Trump primarily campaigned on. Some of the successes and accomplishments are a bit dubious. For example, I don't see North Korea discontinuing its nuclear program, despite Trump's assurances that NK no longer poses a threat. About the only accomplishment from that meeting has been the identification of two sets of remains of POWS/MIAs sent over by NK following the summit. Significant, and I realize it will take time to identify the rest of the remains, but I'm withholding my enthusiastic applause for now.
On the home front, he has yet to be successful. Oh, I've heard all the excuses -- that these things take time, that he has a reluctant congress to work with and so on. But I should think that in two years, he would have been further along in fulfilling his promises by now. Tax reform was really a tax tweak and while there have been benefits to business and maybe some individuals, most of the rest of us got nothing out of it. And I'm afraid that Trump's trade war with other countries will wipe out what few benefits were achieved by the tax tweak.
Although the requirement (mandate) has been removed, Obamacare with all of its ugliness still remains and it looks like both parties want to make it worse by implementing government run health care. And we still have hordes of illegals and alleged "refugees" flooding into this country.
Trump was sold as the great negotiator and deal maker. Although it's up to congress to pass legislation to fulfill all those campaign promises, Trump as president should be ab ble to wield the influence inherent to that position to move his supposed agenda forward. But I've seen little evidence of the great Art of the Deal negotiator. Whining, complaining and bullying will not help achieve those goals.
I'm sorry, but articles like this one praising Trump's supposed achievements are still nothing more than propaganda. Fact is, on most matters Trump has been a disappointing failure.
