I’m going to try to ask this question earnestly.

How many good things are going for Trump?

I ask it because others may have a view that I don’t have. I’m much more inclined to give a negative response due to my own political views and where I get my news, so I’d like to see what others have to say.

It depends on what you mean by “good” and whether they’re things happening because or despite (or to spite) him. The big ones I see mentioned are: the tax law which included ACA mandate repeal, judicial nominations, strong economy, ISIS defeat in Iraq, recognizing Jerusalem as capital of Israel, assertion of a more muscular foreign policy, his travel ban has been mostly allowed to go into effect, did away with net neutrality, announced withdrawal from Paris Climate Agreement, North Korea wanting to open talks with South Korea, Saudi Arabia shakeup and reforms, opening areas for increased energy production.

Obviously a lot of these depend on your own point of view, but they’re items cited by his supporters.
