True or false- Trump was a good president, but not great?

He got a lot of stuff done. But he didn't finish building the wall. That was his biggest promise. So he's a good president, who just stops short of being great.

What do you think?

    Can I assume that you are trolling since you make the claim that he got a lot done yet the list of his accomplishments is rather short and generally restricted to one group in the country, the ultra rich/big business.  Looking at what he did accomplish:

    His Tax Plan - A plan that increased the deficit by close to $300 billion per year, gave 65% of the benefits to the ultra rich and large corporations and generated, according to the businesses themselves, no additional jobs.

    His Wall - A wall that is comprised of approximately 50 new miles of barrier that to date has failed to stop illegal immigration.  They are now climbing over the wall and in some places have cut "doors" in the wall allowing them to drive vehicles through.  To build this he was responsible for significant environmental damage along the route of the wall including destroying burial grounds for veterans.

    His regulations - Trump cut regulations such as regulations designed to prevent another recession, regulations protecting employees, regulations requiring corporations to take responsibility for environmental damage (switching the costs to the taxpayers), and regulations that assisted in air safety.

    Things he promised but never accomplished:

    Health Care - He promised a plan shortly after the mid-terms then again with 6 weeks this past summer then "after the election".  During a major pandemic rather than work to save lives he continued his goal to eliminate the ACA but, as I said, had no plan to replace it.

    His Wall - Mexico was supposed to pay for it, the US taxpayer paid for what little was built.

    Cost of Living - in 2018 and 2019 the purchasing power of the average consumer fell in part due to his tariff wars which, despite his comments, cost the US consumer an extra $25 billion per year.  Trump's grasp of economics suggests that a degree from Wharton at the time he graduated was more a matter of $$$ than ability.  The fact is that even a first year economics student knows that the added cost of tariffs on goods fall solely on the final consumer.

    Deficit - He promised to eliminate the deficit within 4 to 8 years but did cover himself by saying he was the King of Debt which he proved by increasing the annual deficit during a supposedly booming economy with, according to him, record growth and employment.

    Jobs - Sorry to disappoint all those Trump worshippers out there (an trolls) but the majority of the jobs added were in no way related to any actions of Trump.  In fact the factory jobs he bragged about related, for the majority of cases, to projects started during the Obama administration and a number were announced even before Trump indicated he was interested in running.

    I have to say that, based on his so called accomplishments Trump was a complete and utter failure at 80% of the things he promised and had mediocre results in the 20% he did get to.  Remember as well that during Trump's term the Republicans controlled both houses for the first two years of his presidency and he had a grand total of 1 major bill passed

    Well, Jesus Christ wasn't running for President, so...........

    Which President has been better?  These are human beings.  Trump was a great President.

    He was able to accomplish a lot more than most Presidents do even in two terms, and some of them actually cause more harm than good, (like what is happening right now), so 

    YES, PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER!  Maybe Washington and Lincoln were better, but we are relying on history and what was written about them, so yes, they were great, and Reagan was good, but Trump was the best!

    BTW, thumb it down if you want.  I will remove my post!  :)
