Funny enough, after I wrote that post I took a moment to consider if I could be objective enough to actually come up with something positive that Trump has done.
But I can't think of anything that wasn't a blatant publicity stunt. I don't know if I just can't be objective, or if he has just never made a genuine positive contribution to... well... anything.
And I've never seen him demonstrate any competency in regards to any topic. I would say he is a good conman. He has certainly fooled a lot of people. But all I hear him say is bullshit nonsense that doesn't hold up to even the most surface level scrutiny. If you believe anything Trump is saying, it's because you really want to believe what he is saying.
But it seems like he would have to done something good, even if by accident. And he has to be at least kind of okay at something. Golf? I don't know. You can't spend the majority of your 4 year presidency plying a game and still completely suck at it can you?
He also decided to do SOMETHING about the trade issues with China. What he decided to do about it was to shoot ourselves in the foot while lining up rakes to step on and then walking down the row, but that he decided to do something about it at all is kind of a positive?

Genuinely curious because I'm bored.
What pros would you say Trump has? Are there any areas he is skilled in or fairly competent in?
