Besides embarrassment, what has this newly administration accomplished?
They have created a situation whereby any one who doesnt think trump is the second coming is the enemy of America,that would include all Dems,media,intel,basically they view half the country as their enemy.
To be fair, there have been some important-to-conservatives goals obtained.
A Republican president, instead of President Hillary Clinton.
A conservative judge confirmed to the Supreme Court, validating Mitch McConnell's theory that if you want something done your way, you've go to change the rules.
The withdrawal from and death of the Trans Pacific Partnership, although the big winner here is probably China.
The withdrawal from the Paris Accords; again, the big winner here is probably Russia.
A hostile environment for undocumented workers.
A rollback of many of President Obama's executive orders.
A blunting of anthropocentric global warming efforts.
Goals not achieved:
No expansion of the military - yet, but it's coming.
No tax cuts for top income earners - yet.
No replace/repeal of the Affordable Care Act - not even a repeal.
No Mexico paying for the Wall.
No branding China an unfair trade partner/currency manipulator.
Making America Great Again - whatever that means.
I would add to the important-to-conservatives goals achieved the following.
June 2017 NOT recognized as LGBT pride month
Transgender bathrooms, Black Lives Matter, and other social justice causes no longer dominate the national conversation like they did towards the end of Obama's Presidency
Jeff Sessions as AG; appears to have temporarily stalled the effort to legalize marijuana in more states
Elimination of protections for LGBT people employed by federal agencies
So glad you asked. This is from The White House. It's a July 20 Press Release so it's okay to put the whole thing up. You would know it if the national news media actually did their job:
.
Just WOW !
Your news when the WH is in question comes FROM the WH? Extraordinary.
Good luck with that.
From what I've seen, reading your list diagonally I admit, only one point could be accepted as an achievement, well as a done thing, not so much more. That is the nomination of a conservative judge in replacement of an even more conservative judge than the new nominee will ever be. Nothing any republican wouldn't have done, by the way.
Good for you!
Then, facts? numbers? truths?
When your source needs to be the WH press, not even fake/true news network, you are sure in trouble without those above : facts, numbers, truths. NOTHING in your list is backed by any real facts. Ever heard of the concept of being judge and party?
Trump lovers don't care if he accomplishes anything or not. He really could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone and they would still support him. He could grab as much ***** as he wanted and they would still support him. He lies every day and they still support him, even though they know he's lying.
They are just happy because they think they "took their country back," which means that they voted for him because they felt they were losing power over the culture. They are afraid of a multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural country.

The same Jeff Session he is already throwing under the bus and looking to get rid of? 6 months in and he fired his FBI Director, his Press Sec. quit, his Director of Communications quit, he fired acting AG, his legal team has has rampant turnover, he's trying to run off his confirmed AG, and rumors keep persisting his Sec State is ready to quit and that e wants to fire his chief of staff. Quite the list for the guy who only hires the best people.
For example. Seating a member on the supreme court is a HUGE accomplishment. It will have ramifications for decades.
That is the ONLY example.
And any conservative president would have done the same choice or equivalent, so nothing to glorify trump with.
Replacing conservative Scallia by another conservative is not much an accomplishment rather than something expected, right? Equilibrium in SC is still roughly the same.
Next supreme court nomination might be more interesting, and have ramifications.
But as for now? NADA.
Except if you meant that he has managed ONE thing, among useless and countless EO's? Then yes, rejoice!
He saved the country a lot of money in greens fees since he is golfing at his own course.
