So without proof you casually throw out hes a con man.

Yeah, you might wanna get your head checked.

You sound like those liberals that accused him of being a Russian Puppet without proof.

quote:

Still in the middle east - Troops are down drastically. He was criticized for pulling troops out of Syria.

Hasn't drained the swamp- James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page, plenty in the state department like Yavonovich and others have been let go. He's done a shitload of draining. Still plenty to go.

Still have no wall - Not fully - but walls have gone up. To suggest otherwise is silly.

Also Mexico isn't paying for it - Don't give a shite

She still hasn't been locked up - Not his job

Still have virtually the same number of companies outsourcing - He also did exactly what he would do for the coal industry and he fought hard on deregulation which he did his first month in office.

I mean what has he done besides some tax cuts and a few trade deals?

Criminal Justice Reform
Recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Isreal and moved the embassy.
Withdrew from the Paris Climate Accords
Got rid of Net Neutrality
He got NATO allies to kick in $12 billion more toward our collective security.
Basically destroyed ISIS - Still have troops in Afghanistan which he did promise to pull out. Hasn't happened yet.
He has taken a tough line with Russia. Trump approved a $47 million arms package for Ukraine, sent troops to Poland's border with Russia and imposed new sanctions on Moscow for violating the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
Pulled out of the IRAN deal.

Plenty more good things but you get the gist.

The clearest measure of Trump’s retrenchment efforts, or lack thereof, is foreign troop deployments. In the final months of Obama’s presidency, approximately 198,000 active duty U.S. military personnel were deployed overseas, according to the Pentagon’s Defense Manpower Data Center. By comparison, the most recent figure for the Trump administration is 174,000 active duty troops. But even that difference reflects an accounting trick. Beginning in December 2017, the Defense Department started excluding troops deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria from its official reports, citing a vague need to “protect our forces.” When the estimated troop levels for those three countries are added back in, the current total is around 194,000—roughly equivalent to the number Trump inherited.

Oh and let's not forget that weapons deal with the Saudis that are being used to commit a genocide in Yemen

Maybe Trump doesn't have the influence he claims

Yet Trump has had limited success pressing NATO countries to live up to a 2014 pledge to spend two percent of GDP on defense within a decade. When he took office, just four of the 29 NATO members (Britain, the United States, Estonia, and Greece) met the threshold. Four more countries (Poland, Romania, Latvia, and Lithuania) have hit the target since then, but mainly because their spending was already trending in that direction. At the same time, British defense spending actually fell and is expected to flat-line at around 2.1 percent. French defense spending is slated to rise from 1.8 percent of GDP to two percent, but not until 2025. Germany won’t hit the two percent target until 2031. Even on the flattering but unrealistic assumption that these modest shifts are a response to Trump, together they will amount to no more than a $38 billion increase by the end of 2019, from $261 billion in non-U.S. NATO spending in 2016 to an estimated $299 billion this year.
