Thank you for proving my point.
Trump will go down in history as a mediocre president on a par with, or slightly below, GWB.
His term is not up yet, so I think its a little premature at this point in time to make that declaration.
We don't yet know the results of his tariffs on China. We don't know what is going to happen with Iran; though evacuations in the embassy in Iraq have started and Exxon Mobil has also begun evacuating an Iraqi oil field.
He may very well be labeled as the President that gave up American sovereignty and FAILED on the very issue that he campaigned on. The crisis at the border and the continued invasion should not be discounted. Under GWB the Secure Fence Act was passed and 700 miles of border wall was directed by Congress to be built (yes, never fully funded). Trump has taken us backwards on handling the border crisis with numbers coming across the border in unprecedented numbers as never experienced in history. He also took us backwards on illegal immigration by allowing states to opt out of a barrier. How possibly can the fence be fully completed now? As a result of his running his mouth and making threats that he was going to build a beautiful wall and have Mexico pay for it, we now have illegals pouring over our borders from over 50 different countries. The invasion is now to a point that the Trump administration is allowing illegals to be dumped in various different countries within the U.S. He agreed to allow the UN to handle the asylum process and place those refugees, including inside the U.S.
Closer to 2020, I'd say would be a more fair evaluation; the crisis at the border may or may not resolve, the tariffs may prove to be beneficial to the U.S. and he may 'tame' the ME.
Time will tell. If he is re-elected in 2020, he of course will have another 4 years to be evaluated.
