I'm thinking he might have once pardoned someone who deserved it. Other than that, I got nothing.

He exposed Congressional Oversight as toothless.

(56,582 posts)That's a huge foreign policy coup for the US, and gives us a significant leg-up over Saudi Arabia in the region. (In before the replies: I'm absolutely uninterested in arguing about whether or not this is the right position for the US to support; I'm simply stating it is the position the US has supported for decades and this was some tremendous motion in its favor.)
In a sane Presidency, that alone would be enough to cement a legacy. But this is not a sane Presidency.

(39,120 posts)Amazing that it happened under Trump, and it is undoubtedly transactional, but any forward progress is a boon to solving I/P.
The Sudanese are no doubt desperate for aid and rehabilitation of their international image.
UAE just likes money, and Bahrain likes a free hand in oppressing their Shia population.

(39,120 posts)The idea that Trump understands, or even listened to anyone explain the Iran Deal is ludicrous.
Especially in the light of hearing Miles Taylor call him "wildly unfocused" in WH meetings.
He's an ignorant, knee-jerk reactionary who imposes black/white choices on complex issues that are almost all gray.

(2,120 posts)More people are voting than in a very long time (hoping for a historical turnout).
More people know the Constitution than before.
More people seem to understand that elections have consequences.
It's unfortunate that it took electing a real bastard to figure it out. Hoping this will be a lesson for the history books and not an ongoing nightmare.

(17,757 posts)The OP had four pages of great accomplishments of the greatest President to ever serve. I read the list and just sat here shaking my head at the poorly disguised bullshit propaganda. For the hard right, Trumps walks on the waters, and feeds the nation with a couple of fish and a half loaf of bread. Trump said it, they believe it, and that is the end of it.
I don't know how we overcome the Trump worship in a world where QAnon batshit crazy theories carries the same weight as the New York Times researched articles. The right wing sources tell the people what they want to hear and the truth is totally irrevelant. We have not adjusted to the information age and that failure is liable to be the final nail in our coffin.
