A lot of people say and I quote that he's the most successful first-year president ever (apparently , he's been doing amazing stuff for the economy for instance). As a non-American , I'm genuinely curious to read your opinions .

He's taking credit in lower unemployment in blacks but im.not sure which of his policies did that. In addition, it was downtrend anyway.

Well, he doesn't really have any significant new economic policies, and all last year was still under Obama's last budget. The economy has generally been trending upward for a while.
I think so far it's really been the best case scenario for him in that he's just an incompetent idiot rather than a wannabe dictator. He has not yet fulfilled his campaign promises of taking protesters out on stretchers, breaking up telecom companies in retaliation for negative press coverage, or "opening up" libel laws.

What exactly did he do to deserve a b? Bringing jobs back to US, 2million+ jobs have been created in total Tax cuts, which led to businesses increasing big bonuses for workers and the bill eliminates Obamacare Individual Mandate Lowest unemployment ever for hispanics and blacks US manufacturing at its best since 2004 Large drop in number of people on food stamps Massive cuts in regulations (16 regulations cut for every 1 added) Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court Refugee admissions at its lowest ever Illegal immigration at a 45 year low Getting out of Paris Climate Agreement Suspending security aid to Pakistan and massively cutting foreign aid in general VA Accountability Act ISIS losing the overwhelming majority of its territory DACA rescinded and there's not gonna be a deal because of the Dems so all the DACA people are going back Stock market at record highs and continuing to go up Decertifying the Iran Deal Reworking NATO so other countries pay their fair share (Canada and Romania have already increased funding) Department of Homeland Security considers ANTIFA a domestic terrorist group Signing an executive order on healthcare allowing people to purchase healthcare across state lines Halting Obamacare subsidies Defines life beginning at conception Pulling the feds from K-12 education Signed directive ordering NASA to lead space exploration program to send US astronauts back to the moon and eventually to Mars Moved US embassy to Jerusalem Released JFK files And then there's the issues of not getting healthcare passed (not Trump's fault though, John McCain killed it but they should've gone with Rand Paul's idea) and several tariffs that he's implemented (I'm against all tariffs).

As for tax reduction, we have not realized neither positives nor negatives. I believe the company will reinvest in themselves. ..i.e stock buy back. Based on my readings, Neil gorsuch is a moron. The stock market continues its bull trend so basically, he didn't f it up yet. Most of these policies benefit trump or his buddies. He doesn't care about the average person. The files were already going to be released, he just didn't stop it. He's getting credit for crap he didn't originate. Let's give it a year or two to see how his polices impact the world...besides nearly every country hates us.

Let's give it a year or two to see how his polices impact the world...besides nearly every country hates us. Creating more jobs, gives you lower unemployment rates The companies have already given bonuses to their workers and increased wages Your readings are wrong And he shouldn't be expected to fuck up. Remember it started skyrocketing when Trump won He cares about America, America First. You think Hillary cares for the average person? He could've stopped it but didn't, some stuff is still classified and he was upset about having to keep it classified Ok and when his policies work in a year or two we should just give it another year or two right? Who cares about nearly every country hating us? We rejected globalism and they're pissed.

Well we can all agree that he's a big reason for the jobs created for comedians. How many comedy shows are there now about him now? Like six?

Plus everyone forgets that Colbert's show was floundering and there were rumors he would be replaced up until Trump showed up and gave him good material for political humor. Colbert should be genuinely glad Trump became president unless he's enough of an altruist to put the country as a whole ahead of his career.

The overwhelming majority of those things are either macro-level trends that he didn't really directly effect, or symbolic stuff that doesn't really matter, aside from a few ideological goodies for "the base".

What exactly did he do to deserve a b? Tax cuts, which led to businesses increasing big bonuses for workers I'm agreed on some of your points, but allow me to attack this one, because it hits me personally. Trump's new tax plan is MURDER on the self-employed or small businesses. He simplified the tax code like he said he would -- he simplified it by removing almost all deductions. If what I'm hearing is correct, us poor folks with our own businesses or employment are going to get higher taxes than we did before, because all the money we spend... that we MUST SPEND on business items or travel are now taxed heavily. You know who can afford that sort of cut in deductions? Big business. They'll make more money from this. Time will tell if they pay it on to their workers, but don't hold your breath. In my experience, people aren't big on benevolence, be they poor or rich.

Well, he wasn't able to achieve to cause so much damage like expected so far. So there's that one... But he's still a never-ending piece of nuisance for "president".

Shitty.
33:50-38:35 sums it up quite nicely. There’s also quite a bit of shit that he left out, too.

As a non American I'll offer up my assessment as follows: 8.5/10 or an A- for sheer entertainment and laughs. Also, you have to give him some props because, despite all the negative press covfefe...
