Name ONE thing that Trump has done right since becoming president.

40. McMaster was actually a good choice as National Security Advisor

Of course, his first choice was terrible, and he had trouble getting a second choice who was willing to work with him.

I sort of like the fact that he said FU to China and had a conversation with Taiwan. I'm not a fan of the political theater that we go through to not recognize that Taiwan is a country, but to sell them arms. Taiwan is a country by any meaningful measure, and should be treated as one. The fact that the Chinese want it back is sort of irrelevant. If we were to play this well (and I doubt that we will), then the threat of normalizing relations with Taiwan could be used as leverage against China against their South China Sea military adventures. They could agree to scale those back (i.e. go back to the way it was), and we could agree to maintain the status quo on Taiwan. I don't give Trump full credit here, because it feels like "did the right thing but for the wrong reason".

I'm really at a loss for other things he's done "right", but there are some positive things to come out of the Trump administration:

1. The whole administration is late night comedy gold
2. I've learned to be careful of my microwave spying on me
3. There's a level of activism that has been ignited that is much broader than what I've seen before, including from people that I've never known to be politically active
