Before he ran, he was loads of peoples favorites appearing on shows, hosting his own, appearances blah blah blah.

Yes, and I can guarantee you if he was still doing that (a role he was - just about - qualified for), there wouldn’t be a GOT thread about him

He’s done loads of good and he’s done loads of bad depending on what side of the isle you are on. Just like every single president.

Trump has no conscience or empathy the fella is a sociopath given the chance he will make the USA great again
He has done well for the far right conservatives. That's all. He hasn't done anything I can think of that helps the country as a whole. If you have examples then please feel free to give them. (Defunding planned parenthood isn't for the good of the nation as a whole btw)

Tax reform, appointed 2 SCOTUS (one very central and one right), cracked down on foreign policy with North Korea and China (although needs to be harder on Russia), USMCA, Reinforced border wall, I care less about planned parenthood so no comment on that (pro Choice so I can care less either way), criminal justice reform bill and loads more. You may not like some of these things but half the country does.

Tax reform that benefits the richest 10% at the expense of everybody else.
One of his justice picks is an alleged sex offender who crumbled in the face of scrutiny and started asking questions of the people tasked to ask him the questions
How on earth has he cracked down on North Korea? What concessions has he wrought from Kim?

Good thing about the country is you are innocent until proven guilty not the other way around. He was questioned and the lady’s story didn’t add up. He was passed. And North Korea talk led to no war which the dems thought he would fire nukes left and right as soon as he gained office. North Korea’s talk also led to South Korea to come into the peace talks which haven’t happened in years so I would say that was more than the past 7 presidents did.
To be as objective as possible... technically the economy did do well under him, although of course you could make the point that it was recovering under Obama and it's simply followed the natural trajectory of recovery since the financial crash.
And I broadly agreed with him on his efforts with North Korea and Iran. Carrot and stick diplomacy. Not 100% great but better than Obama, who in terms of foreign policy was disastrous.
Apart from that... yeah, completely drawing a blank as to what he's done well.

Jesus, those are people's lives you're talking about you absolute oaf.
And yes, a larger number of Americans need ventilators than 2 weeks ago.
He's both offensive and incorrect with that tweet. Actual percentage of positive tests are increasing, not just the raw number.
Of course, he knows his base are too thick to actually look into the figures and that's the whole reason he's put the tweet out.

I don't think it really depends on what side of the aisle you're on. Cut away the concept of an aisle, and he has still led probably the worst Covid response in the world, fulfilled none of his campaign promises, proven himself completely thick at every given opportunity and is quite blatantly Putin's stooge to boot. He's been rubbish and astonishingly out of his depth
