I can't believe that it's only been 6 months since Trump took office. The scope of what he has already accomplished is hard to imagine. Highlights include, but are not limited to, the following:
.
He has defanged Iran and potentially brought a truly lasting peace to the Middle East;
This may very well become his enduring legacy in world history classes taught in the future;
He is making European countries contribute their fair share to their own defense;
We no longer have boys beating up our girls in sporting events or walking around the girls' locker rooms with their penises hanging out;
Manufacturing construction has picked up dramatically in this country, with much more expected to come;
Our borders are finally secure again;
Oil and gas prices have come way down;
Inflation remains under control;
Automakers are no longer being forced to make unprofitable EVs that nobody wants and were making all of the other cars more expensive;
Regulatory agencies have released their stranglehold on the necks of a variety of industries, which will also pay big dividends in the coming months;
Peace between Rwanda and Congo is here after decades of conflict and 8 million lives lost. Sadly this didn't get much press, but is an uincredible win for peace in that region of Africa; and
Fairer trade deals between the U.S. and its trading partners are starting to roll in;
The passage of the OBBBA, which will provide immediate economic stimulus via increased business cap ex spending and longer-term tax relief to everyone who currently pays taxes, among countless other benefits to working families.
.
All of this in just five short months. I'm sure I'm missing some things, so please feel free to add.
Comments
last commentI don't agree with everything Trump has done, like his erratic whipsawing on tariffs that has actually cost me some opportunities, and things like DOGE that didn't go far enough and hit the wrong things, and I'll believe in "a truly lasting peace to the Middle East" when I see it (they've been fighting for millennia), but him not being Kamala Harris or Joe Biden has me on my knees thanking my lucky stars every morning.
I agree with everything else you've said above (except it's been 6 months, not 5), but I'd add that he is ending the money train that routes taxpayer money to the Democratic party. For decades now, Democrats have sent it to NGOs and "community groups" that implement the Democratic agenda and work to elect Democratic candidates. We saw last term how Dems tried to turn volunteers into Dem campaign workers.
I'd also add that Trump's sheer presence has changed the dynamic. Migrants turned around and self-deported before Trump even got back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Media companies, conscious of staying on the right side of those in power, stopped sucking Democratic cocks. Partisan media like NPR/PBS (libs, you want it so badly, donate yourselves!).
No party with the trifecta stays on top for long, but at very least, he's only a quarter of the way through doing what needs to be done; and top Democrats themselves (like Mark Cuban) admit their party is fucking up by doubling down on wokeness, socialism, and Orange Man Bad. The current Democratic darling is a communist Islamist sympathizer whose policies have razed American cities. They just don't fucking learn.
Waiting for the Lib Cope Squad to come here and screech. 3.5 years of Trump left isn't going to help their blood pressure.

Am I the 1st to respond? Good post, rick. Trump accomplishments impressive, especially considering that much of what he did was cleaning up Biden's mess.
Meantime, there will be several (many?) stock market gyrations with the whipsawing effect of emotional reactions to are tariffs on or off. Still, DJIA/S&P500 above the earlier year lows

I agree with some of the things he’s done. Personally I can’t stand the guy.

Given all he has done, like it or, with the razor thing margins in congress IT IS astonishing how much has been done. "It's the economy, stupid" will prove to be the deciding factor.

^ Harris was the dumbest, most vapid presidential candidate in my lifetime.
Democrats hoisted themselves on their DEI petard.
Trump was beatable, even with the vegetable's late exit from the race, but they were too blinded by anti-Semitism to choose Josh Shapiro, a Democrat who actually got things done.

Mogul when is the last time you stepped outside and interacted with real people?

Trump has done a lot but its all has negative implications for the vast majority.
Harris was a terrible candidate. Supported genocide. Supported right wing policies. She wouldnt distance herself from Biden. She claimed the economy was great... She was just as out of touch bas Trump. At least people see how fake Trumps populism is.
Log in to vote
Which right wing policies did she support lol? Supporting israel isnt just a right wing thing. Most left wing candidates also support it
Why would she distance herself from biden? Logically she wanted all of bidens voters

Dementia Donnie at his finest! He's made himself rich, always playing golf, and totally ducks any responsibility. He's a gem. Oh yeah, the only reason he doesn't fuck kids anymore is he can't get it up!

55% tax on goods from China, easily the worlds biggest tax. And we expect companies to bury it. Watch your christmas shopping prices explode. But he needs the money to increase the tax benefit for private jets. Someone stated we should buy American Made shoes, I did a search, the cheapest American made shoe is $199
On oil, the price of oil will go down, why? Because China is switching to EVs at a monster rate and China oil demand is crashing. But we do know if Trump is for Evs or against them, because he campaigned against them, but them sold them on the whitehouse front lawn

Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration and creation of a secure southern border is protecting South American migrants before they even leave South America:
