I was asked by a Trump supporter to think of anything positive Trump has done

[dbackjon]

I'm drawing a blank. Seriously. I can find individual things that Dubya did that I supported. But striking out with Trump.


Anyone have ANYTHING positive he has done?

[skylucy]

1. Nope. Not me.

[Moostache]

2. He is keeping KFC well funded?

I got nothing else...

[drray23]

3. matter of perspective.

A trump supporter will like that gorsuch got put on the supreme court, they love that the dept of justice is going full racist, etc...

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. Exactly and this is why he has way more support still than he deserves.

[Squinch]

31. Ooooh. I want one of those!

[procon]

4. He's inspiring investigative journalists from around the globe. nt

[A HERETIC I AM]

13. And one of the finest journalistic rivalries in a generation between the NYT and the WP

[Glamrock]

5. United the country

against the GOP?

[unblock]

6. Motivated democrats to vote

[SummerSnow]

7. I have 1 thing...

He remodeled Wollman ice skating rink in Central Park, it is very nice.

[smirkymonkey]

39. Oh yeah, well there's that.

and um....

[SummerSnow]

46. lol. Nothing else, just that.

[Ccarmona]

8. He Gave Anthony Atamanuik

A vehicle for a successful comedy show.

[oberliner]

9. How about withdrawing from the TPP?

A lot of DUers supported that idea.

[Jim Lane]

42. That was the first thing I thought of.

I think he gets only half credit for that, though. Despite Obama's support for it, it didn't appear to have the votes in Congress. That's why Obama and the other supporters never brought it to a vote. So Trump "killed" the TPP but arguably it was already dead anyway.

[WinkyDink]

53. I was not a fan of it, that's for sure. I thought it was a gigantic relinquishing of national

sovereignty, and still do.

But then, I have always....deplored the moment when "diplomacy" and "furthering democratic principles" became "Nerts to all that! It's strictly bidness!"

[LanternWaste]

54. I don't think DU support is a relevant or objective conditional

"A lot of DUers supported that idea..."

I don't think DU support is a relevant or objective conditional for an idea to be either good or bad.

[oberliner]

59. I just meant that some DUers might identify that as something positive Trump has done

As it seemed like a lot of DUers were in favor of withdrawing.

[Fresh_Start]

10. Improved the readership of legitimate news organizations like NYT and WP nt

nt

[TrishaJ]

11. Motivated the Congress

to work together to pass some bi-partisan legislation to limit his power....

[fierywoman]

12. Touche' !!!

[dalton99a]

14. He's eating well, and he hasn't urinated on the carpet

[Ms. Toad]

17. Are you sure about the latter? n/t

[Thor_MN]

23. Once he starts pissing in the Lincoln Bedroom closet, ain't no amount of Febreze going cover that...

[Xolodno]

15. Keeping Lawyers Employed and...

...creating an interesting pool of contestants with Dancing With the Stars.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

16. He entertained some people on The Apprentice. He has helped several media outlets increase

subscriptions/ratings and increased readership. He has made many of us become glued to MSNBC, etc. He has taught some people to be more careful about who they vote for or that they need to get off their asses to vote, run for office, etc.

[Justice]

18. I hope you asked him/her the same question. I don't think they'd have an answer.

[dbackjon]

22. There are people estatic

About Gorsuch - usually forced-birthers and gun-humpers

There are millions of white Americans that think if we only get rid of the illegals, their dying towns would spring back to life

There are those that have bought into the lie that cutting taxes on the wealthy will help them and Trump is a good businessman

[lunasun]

30. Boy if he succeeds, are they going to be in for a surprise

[TlalocW]

19. He exhales carbon dioxide

Which is needed by plants to make oxygen.

TlalocW

[marylandblue]

20. Pissed off enough Senators to prevent ACA repeal

[retread]

21. What did Dumbya do that you supported? n/t

[BannonsLiver]

25. Medicare expansion in 2003

And he was more progressive about immigration than anyone in the GOP is today. Outside of that?

[catrose]

57. But that same expansion

Gave us the donut hole...thousands each year to stay on your prescribed medications. So a mixed bag.

[Sgent]

58. Umm....

Yea but before that there was nothing. You didn't spend thousands a year on medication, you just died sooner if the $4 medications at Wal-Mart weren't useful enough.

[catrose]

60. My husband wasn't on Medicare before then

So we didn't experience that. So we've known only the joy of having only a year of his diabetic medications paid for. If the Republicans had included negotiating drug prices with the pharmaceutical companies, maybe we'd all be better off.

[BannonsLiver]

24. The NK travel ban had broad support

And was probably a good idea. Outside of that I got nothing.

[phylny]

45. That's the only thing I could come up with, too! n/t

[GallopingGhost]

27. He's decimated the circus peanut industry. n/t

[Phoenix61]

28. The ACA is more popular than ever

People are actually talking about health care as a right. Medicaid for all is gaining traction. Massive increase in the number of people participating in the political process. Huge increase in the number of women running for office. Never would have happened without Twitler.

[LisaM]

29. Nope. Everything he does seems calculated to annoy me.

Just when I think he can't come up with something new, he pulls a fresh rabbit out of his hat (the latest is his reverse affirmative action for colleges).

[Cairycat]

32. Exposed the unabashed racism of most

(all?) of his supporters.

[democratisphere]

33. ah....ah....ah....ah....ah....ah....ah....ah....ah....?

Good question with no answer.

[Mr. Ected]

34. He's helped me add fiber to my diet.

[Tiggeroshii]

35. He signed the forever gi bill, right?

A fix to the current gi bill that puts limits on the length that the gi bill is good for after a person has served?

[Tiggeroshii]

38. Oh and check out his pick for sg!

There! Two good things!! Now let's cover the bad things....

Many many bad things he has tried to do.

[Boomerproud]

36. No. He has led a purposeless life.

Waste of space.

[aka-chmeee]

37. He got Sam Brownback out of Kansas! nt

[KelleyKramer]

40. He created a great job market for criminal defense attorneys

So there's that

[burrowowl]

41. Yes! He brought out the RESISTANCE!

[Jim Lane]

43. He made a mockery of the National Prayer Breakfast.

My bias is that we (as in, the government) shouldn't even have a National Prayer Breakfast. Anything that lowers its prestige is good.

[Gabi Hayes]

44. He brought Colbert's show the attention it

so richly deserves, vaulting it to #1!

That'll be enuf 4 me

[malaise]

47. Yep

He moved from 70 to 71 and continues to eat unhealthy food - that's very positive

[DemocratSinceBirth]

48. "I can find individual things that Dubya did that I supported."

- Medicare expansion
- seems to be a good dad and husband
- acted like a mensch in the immediate aftermath of 9-11
-decent ex-president

[FSogol]

49. He exhales carbon dioxide and moisture which is good for nearby plants.

[FSogol]

50. Creating jobs for Federal Prosecutors and Investigators?

[Deb]

51. Promoted KFC?

maybe?

[RKP5637]

55. When he sleeps? n/t

[madokie]

56. tRump don't do positive

[Runningdawg]

61. He reminded us you can't buy class
