All the President's Accomplishments?

A family member today made a statement to the effect, "the president has accomplished a lot of good things in the past year." Mmmh. I might have to disagree.

One could argue that one of the main things the country needs is some sense of unity. President Trump has brought the antithesis of unity. In fact, I can't think of any other president who has even come close to the havoc he has wreaked.

Yes, he has gotten some judges on the courts and helped with the GOP tax bill. But his main selling point during his campaign seemed to be him building the wall between Mexico and the U.S. One might say "we haven't seen a brick yet." Moreover, not much of his agenda has been passed in Congress.

One final point, a point not related to the previous information: Trump got into the political arena using his shtick that the former president was not born in the United States. He seemed to be like a zealous minister preaching the gospel of doubt: "I really question if President Obama was born in the U.S. What I say is, if you were Pres. Obama, show us your birth certificate."

The irony is amazing. Now President Trump is the one withholding something desired by a large part of the populace: his taxes. I believe those who want to see his taxes should be as insistent as Trump was with Obama.
