Yes, we know it is easy to criticize anyone from the President to High school football teams, but I'd like to hear one thing you think he's doing right.

Lets not base this on party/ideology, but what YOU believe is a positive

 

I like HOW he is going about things not what he is doing.

In other words, I like that he tweets, it's freakin' 2017, it's not 1960 as all the liberal media seems to think. 

I like that he announced no taxes would be released. No law to compel him. 

I like that he does not give a damned about all the possible ethics issues BUT stays inside the law. (for now as far as we know) 

I just wish someone with a progressive agenda told DC and the main stream everything, "I don't care how you always did it"  not him. 

 

And what I like best? All the talking heads that have exploded because he does not care about past practices.

I like how Trump is using our economic power to negotiate better deals for the American taxpayer.  Not letting Mexico pick our pockets anymore. 

I like how he is not walking on eggs shells regarding  "radical isalmic terrorists.  I like how he said "they are already angry".

I like how he is going to enforce the US congress mandate to put our embassy in Jerusalem.  If the Palestinians don't like it...to bad.  If they attack the embassy, then that will take care of another problem - good by PLO.

I like how he is not giving any quarter to the msm.  He is calling them on all their BS and has successfully branded them as "crooked".

I like that he is building the wall and I like how he is going to make Mexico pay for it, or see their economy collapse.

I like how he is giving Putin a chance to cooperate, and  using Mexico as an example to show Putin and China  that he means business and won't be crossed

I like how he invited the Union leaders into the White House (for the first time ever).

I like how he is not "stuffy" but acts like a regular American guy.

I like how he is successfully encouraging companies to trash can ideas of out shoring their manufacturing and build plants in the USA.  (Apple, Ford, Carrier, etc).

Mexico never picked our pocket.

was it Obie who walked on egg shells when he blew off Bin's head and dumped him in the ocean?

Do you know anything about the Palestinian treatment under Israel?  they may be the most oppressed people on the planet.

So "alternative facts" is OK with you?

Did you know Mexico is a close friend? And shares a long boarder?

China is thrilled that he is pushing Mexico into their expanding trade with them. Putin is playing him like a fiddle. He was never "crossed."

Why?

I don't know about you but I expect more than a regular American guy to lead a country of 350 million.

what specifically has he done to encourage companies? The only tangible thing I know of is handing out tax cuts which means I paid! Sounds like he gave corporate welfare. . (not me because it was not my state)

nice post but it's nothing but rhetoric. 

take away your rhetoric and you said the same thing I did. You like his anti traditional DC style  and his aggressive nature.

Starting the process of getting rid of the individual mandate.

haha I lost $50 on that Supreme Court case. A good friend and law school classmate was litigating that case before the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of the DOJ in American Physicians and Surgeons Inc. et al. v. Sylvia Mathews Burwell et al., SCOTUS case number 14-350, I bet that she would lose, due to the conservative leanings of the SCOTUS, but she didn't . . .

I like that Trump ended (or is in the process of ending) TPP.

I would have lost my ass had I bet on it. Weirdest SCOTUS opinion I've ever seen.

And what I like best? .... he does not care about past practices. 

 

I agree with almost none of your original post, but I give you credit for the parts above.  He does not care about past practice and is streamlining things.

Corporate interests that have long since paid off both parties to do their bidding have decided they are tired of playing the game.  Apparently, all that wining and dining of politicians, all that cajoling and legalized bribery, insulted their sense of divine entitlement.

So now they are cutting out the middleman and doing what every top dog does when they want something done right -- They are doing it themselves...Exxon for secretary of state.  Hardee's for secretary of labor.   General Dynamics for secretary of defense.  And the Goldman guys for pretty much everything else.  After decades of privatizing the state in bits and pieces, they decided to just go for the government itself.

Much more efficient...

I'll add another to your list.  Pruitt for EPA.  Brilliant pick for those who don't like the EPA.  That will definitely streamline things for them.
