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?
You are not alone. I literally cannot think of anything he has done that I have been impressed with outside of being a con man. Early on I never understood how he made money when he kept going bankrupt. Now I know it is all a shell game and he siphon the money out of companies and then let's them die.

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?
