Destroying evidence to avoid a conviction? perfectly fine if you are a Democrat. Cheating on your spouse in the White House? Pefectly fine if you're a Democrat.
Help from the Kremlin? Perfectly fine if you're a Republican.

Number eight should be plural, as he has appointed other judges to the federal courts. I am not familiar with most, but I assume they are conservative in their judicial philosophies.

While I would not give him an "A", he has been trying to get a lot of what he promised done.

The irony of liberals/leftists/socialists is that they are happy that he has not accomplished some of the things like a wall or repeal of Obamacare yet, but try to use those things to get conservatives riled up against him.

I will give him an "F"

His accomplishments

- severely weakened the transatlantic relationship

- abdicating America's leadership role in the World

- his Budget will put America 30 trillion USD in the hole by 2030

- Foreign Investment is down under the Trump Administration

- He is emboldening our enemies and alienating our allies

I could go on and on but leaving it there for now.

Seeing Trump in action for the past six months, as an effective executive, I'm not impressed. His tenure, so far, is mired in chaos and controversy which is a huge liability for the GOP. He blames all his woes on MSM and liberals, he throws his own people under the bus, his positions and postures with other countries change day to day, even Wall Street is wary of where he's going. I suspect his time is limited, he has upset "the system", and he is NOT going to "win". His admirers may be a small and faithful group, but not enough to save him.

The left isn't aware of ANY of these things because their "news" sources are "Russia" 24/7 !

He didn't inherit a mess. He inherited a strong economy. Obama inherited a mess. And the trend is that dems tend to inherit messes from repubs.

Also to add- It takes time to see the consequences of any action- be it a president, us in our personal lives, projects at work, etc. When you start going to the gym do you see the results of any work you might be doing in the beginning? Of course not. When we put laws into place (like seat belts, helmets, etc) are we looking at the impact of those laws that day or the next day? Of course not. This isn't hard to understand. Rather, we tend to see what we want to see without employing critical thinking.

Anyway, my grade for Pres. Trump (so far): B.
However it went down it was the administrations decision making and prioritization that led to the capture. It could have gone a million different ways. OTOH, if he was caught in early 2009 that would have been a feather in Bush's cap.

Give him a B for what? He has made the US a global laughing stock. He is irrational, childish, and has our government in chaos. There is something wrong with that man. That's dangerous. It's absurd. Do you understand the consequences of deregulating the FDA? Have you read anything on the politics surrounding USDA and the FDA and the filth private corporations would provide you for food, meds, and water?

Didn't promise America that he would save them $2500 a year and would be allowed to keep their Doctor/Insurance. Didn't go on an apology tour groveling to Muslim leaders in the middle east. Didn't give billions of dollars to our enemies in Iran. Didn't listen to a Racist Socialist Minister for 20 years then claim he didn't hear him say anything bad.

I give Trump a D at this point for just saying stupid things, but next to Obama/Hillary he's fantastic!
I do agree about the wars. Although, I don't know what our options are. How would you have handled it? With that said, Trump plans to follow suit with contracting as seen in Yemen. They will outsource and it's going to take us to another level.
