Crickets. All that I can hear here is crickets chirping.
I cannot think of any deals that Trump made that benefit Americans as a whole. Surely there must be some Trump defendants out there that can name at least one Trump deal that legitimately benefitted America.
Replacing NAFTA, signing new trade agreements with Japan and other nations, getting criminal justice reform done via the First Step Act (something that eluded presidents of both parties for decades) to undue Biden's vote on crime bills from decades prior, permanently funding HBCUs at the federal level for the first time ever, enacting major tax reform, getting NATO members to pay more for their defense, getting Japan and South Korea to pay more for hosting our troops, negotiating peace agreements between Israel and several of her Islamic neighbors, etc.
I can keep going, but those are all examples of successful and meaningful deals that President Trump has been able to see through, both domestically and internationally.
OP, Google is your friend for these. If you've been watching MSDNC for the past four years, I can understand why you aren't knowledgeable of many of these deals. But they are still there for all to see.
I don't why people think that NAFTA2 is a great accomplishment. It almost exactly the same as the original NAFTA. Trump/US did not get what they wanted.
"Overall, the changes from the old NAFTA are mostly cosmetic."

Nothing is going to be a total win in a situation like this and give and take is necessary.
But, from the same article you posted:

. . . the biggest changes include higher rules-of-origin requirements for the auto sector
The Trump administration got at least part of what it wanted. Coverage of the final U.S.-Canada talks have suggested it was a compromise outcome—the U.S. succeeded in winning a (modest) opening of the Canadian dairy market, while Canada persevered in preserving the Chapter 19 dispute settlement system and its special protections for Canadian cultural industries. While it’s true this was a compromise relative to the negotiating positions of the two sides, when judged against the standard of the previously existing NAFTA it’s clear the U.S. got more of what it wanted. Canada’s “victories” consisted of maintaining the status quo in many important areas; but while actual changes to NAFTA were modest, they were almost uniformly in the direction of what the U.S. wanted, and away from what Canada and Mexico wanted. Trump’s aggressive, threatening approach succeeded in eliciting modest concessions from two of its closest trading partners.
All in all, the new NAFTA is better than the old NAFTA for the American worker. We can quibble about degree, but it's still better and an example of a successful deal orchestrated by Donald Trump.
Sources? I did ask what deals benefit Americans for the better.
Trumps trade deal with Mexico heavily favored the US. Him forcing Mexico to patrol their side of the border was important.
Unfortunately, all the steps will be taken will be undone so the left can grow their base.
Maybe one day you liberals will wake up.
