I think it's good that more NATO/UN member countries are now paying their committed shares.
And, it's also good that significantly fewer immigrants are risking their lives and eventual deportation by crossing our borders illegally.
I don't like the means by which President Trump has helped achieve those results, but the outcomes are positive, in my opinion.
As for the economy, he hasn't fucked up the positive roll which was long underway when he took office. That's good. Job growth was slower in 2017 than the last year's of the previous administration, but I don't know if that reflects at all on Trump. Growth eventually slows regardless as we get closer to full employment.
As for the stock market, my investments are worth more today than they were a year ago. I believe that is due, at least partly, to Trump's deregulation policies and his rhetoric. I think he's inspired investor confidence. I hope it doesn't come crashing down.
