Dismantling environmental regulations, pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord, nominating a conservative Supreme Court Justice and the Travel Ban hardly count. The stock market gains are illusory, underpinned by years of the Fed's easy monetary policy. The country certainly is not safer, with North Korea now aiming its nukes at the West Coast amid Trump's personal jabs at Kim Jong-un. Even better relations with Russia have not happened, with each country pulling diplomats out of the other country. I defy anyone to name a positive accomplishment now nine months in. There hasn't been any. While the MSM focuses on Trump's daily tweet's, they're missing the forrest that not only has Trump done nothing, he's made the State of the Union worse. |

Not much but you do not get to take away the bolded part if you wanted that. Also, no matter the reasons for the stock market the sitting pres gets the credit. Just how it is. Some conservatives actually like getting nothing done btw. |

I dunno, the Title IX kangaroo court thing was a pretty big deal to college kids who like their right to due process. |

Most online conservatives aren't pro-Trump about many things, they're just anti-anti-Trump. Pissing off liberals is a sufficient end in and of itself. |

The question itself is proof of liberal bias. What other president would be asked such questions? |

Everyone was saying that 2016 would be the first of many massive losses and that prediction obviously did not pan out. The 2018 elections are somewhat favorable to them, the Democratic leaders remain unable to get out of their own way, Trump remains more popular in swing states than anywhere else, and the Republicans are going to try to gerrymander even harder in 2020 than they did in 2010 (and they'll likely succeed). |
