Carter,

Remind me again what Trump accomplished.  Remember, you don't include congressional initiatives and policy-making -- you have to cite measures that Trump himself originated and saw through to fruition.  Also bear in mind that relations between Bahrain, UAE, and Israel were already in the works for obvious geopolitical reasons, so Trump can't claim those, either.  OK, have at it.  Good luck.  Be cautioned that alert readers here will apply fact-checking and critical thinking skills to items on your list.

Remind you?

Stop.....

You are being a  dick - or are just stupid.

[josh]

I don't see any here.

That's on you, not us.

It's been there, repeatedly. Including today.

[Yankguy1]

Nothing makes me laugh harder than Kid calling somebody “stupid.”

The protest in Albany.



But the crowd doubled...



In Montana, there was one person, too, but he was supporting that the election is over and Biden won.

[Hairy Lime]

Excellent president.

You sound like a proud boy.

Also, you sound like Trump himself, the bullshitter in chief.

Trump will almost certainly occupy the lower ranks of presidents, and very likely be considered the worst ever.  The refusal to concede defeat and pushing things into political violence ensured that.

Well as far as we know he did not lose the White House china in a poker game, knock up his neighbor's wife in a White House closet or refer to his penis as "Jerry" in letters to his mistress. Harding sets such a high bar at being the low bar, but Trump's response to COVID and everything he has done in the two and a half months since the election may push him over the top. Or under the bottom as you prefer.

I'm just very stupid.  My memory for Trump achievements is just shot.  Wait...there was something...sounded like Spice Horse?  Pace Morse?  Whatever it was, I guess it made him feel accomplishy!  I know some people got cool hats!

The more the merrier, Josh.  I'm planning to be educated and inspired!

Kid got nothing.

Trump did all harm and no good. He had a lot of help with the harm. He and his flunkies should be held to account.

This is the job of us citizens not our President, who must focus on fixing the colossal republican mess  so the country can be a beacon rather than the failed state of the previous administration.

As evil pricks like Mitch, Josh Hawley, Tucker, Hannity, and the like begin their efforts to sabotage the Biden administration we will let them know how fresh their gleeful support of a corrupt regime and a fascist coup still is in our memories and how low they stand in our good graces.

Trump's dictum at the outset that restricted administration folks from becoming lobbyists for 5 years and even from shadow-lobbying for the first year was very good. He wasn't the first to do any such thing, but his closed some loopholes. And had he left it in place, it would have been great instead of just one more political game. But even given that last, it was still good while in place.

I thought his reaching out to Kim of North Korea was a good thing, even if it was doomed to failure by a man better at playing games than Trump ever was.

I'm not a fan of Gorsuch's political leanings, for the most part, but I thought Gorsuch was a very credible nominee for SCOTUS. (No, can't say the same about the next two, for different reasons.) Yes, Gorsuch should not have had a seat to fill until the next one, but that's not his fault nor does it change the quality of the nomination.

I'll pause, as I don't want to deprive Kid of anything he might wish to add.

Objectively speaking he improved the VA appeal process, halted mass illegal immigration, and temporarily stopped entry by jihadists.

Trump leaves office with DOW near 31k

Not only isn't the stock market not the economy, but the Top 1% wealthiest Americans own 40% of all stocks, while 85% of stocks are owned by the Top 10%.
So it's mostly a matter of the rich getting richer under a GOP president.  What a surprise.  Trump's Trillion $ tax cut resulted in lots of already cash-flush corporations buying back their stocks to pump up their stock prices for their already wealthy investors and executives.  With hardly a ripple in the real economy where the other 90% live.  The economy always does better under DEM presidents than under GOP.  The Clinton Boom was bigger than the Reagan Boom.
While big financial crashes and scandals always occur under GOP rule.

Fwiw,

From Trump's inauguration day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose from 19,827 to 30,930 on Tuesday, a 56 percent increase.

That increase is below the 73.2 percent rise the Dow saw in Obama's first term, or the 105.8 percent increase under Clinton's first term.

Trump leaves office with 31% approval.  Lowest ever recorded.
Wonder why?

51%

36% strong approve

Likely your 31 referred to that second number - polled by a different group.  And the overall is much higher

Trump never lost the deplorables.

Say what you will about thier blind faith to the fascist killer clown, but they were loyal or just too damn stupid to see what was going on.

Many people believe that Trump's border wall, so called "Muslim ban" (ask victims of 9/11, Boston bombings, and terror attacks in Europe what they think), tax cuts, foreign policy and trade policies (and the 1,000,000 jobs they created) were great for America.

[FlyingVProd]

President Biden needs to wear hats, he needs to wear the cool hats like Humphrey Bogart wore. I just think our President would look cool in hats, he needs to add hats to his wardrobe. 

Salute,

Tony V.
