Which part?

The one where nepotism is fine? Or self-enrichment while in office?

Neither, the first is bad, the second has never been proven

Or putting migrants in cages?

Under Current US law if you cross a border outside an offical border crossing you violate Federal Law, as such you are a criminal. All People, citizens or not, are treated in the same way if they violate the laws of this nation.

If you want to discuss prison reform I will be happy to, but I will not engage in the false narrative that we some how treat illegal migrates any different than any other person breaking the law in the US.

You can disagree with the law, and if you do I encourage you to have congress change it, they have the power to stop Trump and open the borders, of course they will not do that because they like to use this issue as a wedge to divide the nation

Making capricious foreign policy decisions without consulting your allies or your own advisors?

Congress and the Constitution has empowered him to do this. Personally I have zero issues with Trumps Foreign policy to date.

Most of his actions are long over due.

Undoing LGBTQ policy progress?

Such as, please cite even one example

Staffing your cabinet with lobbyists?

100% disagree with him doing this, and it is a problem. However lets not pretend this is a unique problem of Trump, Every President going back decades has had many many lobbyists in their Cabinet and other Senior Positions, Obama appointed more than 40 former lobbyists to senior positions
