Trump has brought back so many jobs, created 2.4 million jobs so far, illegal immigration is down a ton, border enforcement has been strengthened, foreign relations are strengthening with Hungary, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Italy, China, and so on. He saved the country billions by renegotiating Chinese deals, constantly lowers unemployment, lowest Black and Hispanic unemployment in 45 years, the stock market is at a historical high (gaining 8 trillion), the Economy is booming, we have recovered 100% of lost territory ISIS took, captured Raqqa, ISIS is basically eliminated do to mass execution, He got NATO allies to kick in $12 billion more toward our collective security, he got Saudi Arabia to loan us billions for infrastructure, he negotiated for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to donate $100 million to a women's empowerment fund,he donated his presidential salary to fighting the opioid epidemic, he appointed a conservative Supreme Court Justice, small business confidence is at a all time high, the healthcare reform has happened, and he enacted historic tax and regulatory reform that has unleashed economic growth.
He also saved America millions with the F-35 program, millions with Air Force One (as he choose not to upgrade it) cut aid to Pakistan due to them playing both sides of the ball and taking that money to rebuild our infrastructure.
Enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history. Which nearly doubled the standard deduction for everyone. Also doubled the child tax credit. A typical family of four making $75,000 will see their tax bill reduced by $2,000, slashing their tax bill in half.
This is just a few things, yes in my opinion he is had one of the best years in presidential history and is on track to be the best ever. In the beginning he started off rocky but made up for it massively.

Yes, he has turned out to be a great president. Highlights include our current booming economy and wiping out ISIS.

I hesitate to pass judgement before the effects of his presidency are clear, but it seems extremely apparent to me that he is already having an extraordinarily beneficial effect on the economy. I hope that his election shook democrats awake, but based on their current behavior, that remains to happen...

- Missing? What do you mean missing?I mean that many of his statements have remained on paper .. well, or on Twitter! I respect him as a businessman and showman and so on .. but as a president it's difficult to assess! And yet I'm so against Clinton what is better of course Donald for Americans!

It is precisely what I've told to everyone with whom I've been discussing about it. They didn't believe me, but I knew that Trump would win:
a) Trump is a good buisness, and I've heard about him long before his elections. I've read about him as an owner of the biggest casino, and his problems with taxes, and how is he figured it out to not loose all his money... Hillary... who is she?! What did she do? She's just a witty voice. b) Ivanka has marring to... Well, it was the second solid argument.

I have yet to feel "he made new jobs" because seems no different as before.

What has he done that the previous presidents haven't? All previous presidents, or just some in recent history?

What has he done that the previous presidents haven't? All previous presidents, or just some in recent history? Well... I don't know? But If we want to evaluate Trump's deeds, conducts, we have to compare it with smth. This 'smth' is discussive matter, so I think we need to evaluate him with the other presidents who has appered in similar circumstances etc. Obama and Bush jr are good for this, to be such examples, perhaps. For the clear comparing, I think, it should be done by using several categories like: conflicts, economy power, decreasing or increasing taxes... most of point were said above. So I just wanted to say that the other presidents for correct comparing have to be put in simular historical or cultural situation. By the way, such method could compare not only the presidents of the one country but different presidents from the other, and allow to compare the same actions of different presidents in different situations. Maybe comparing is not the best way to evaluate conducts and actions of the certain president, sometimes it's helpful to count action of the president according to his own biography.

I think he tries to steal money from the emergency aid fund to Puerto-Rico.
