He tore up the best deal with Iran that could have been gotten, which ended their nuclear program, even though it might have to be renewed. That makes the world more dangerous. It might work with North Korea, thanks to the dedication to peace from South Korea's leader. But if he does get a deal, which doesn't seem likely given Trump's demands, that would be to Trump's credit. Trump is imposing tariffs where they aren't necessary, and so far is unable to negotiate deals. We'll see. People are suffering in the meantime. The number of people entering the country was handled already; what Trump has done is violate the standard of human rights which this country was founded on. He gets no credit for me for that. Republicans and Trump are not willing to make a deal on that; the deal was available and they junked it.Show me a welfare recipient who isn't dependent on the welfare system. If you find one then explain to me why they're still on it.
Meanwhile, no-one has done more to institute government based on lies than Trump has done. Right-wingers say that what they disagree with are lies. But the right-wingers have put out lies for decades now, the chief one being that government programs create dependency, and that "liberty" means break for business bosses that take away opportunity and fair wages and health care from their employees and destroy the environment we depend on.
