Pretty hard for him to unleash anything with all the obstruction from both parties. He has done fairly well in spite of them, not because of them.
Trump promised he would be a master negotiator and get stuff done. He failed to negotiate an Obamacare replacement among members of his own party. Obama needed 60 votes and got it done. All Trump needed was 50 and he still failed.

Yadda yadda, you hate Trump... That's really all you have to say.

Here's a fact. As a nation, we are now considered to be at full employment. You can only add so many jobs when the nation is technically fully employed. Job numbers reflect this. It doesn't matter if Jesus Christ were President.
participation rates are very low. They have been dropping for a decade or two, not blaming Trump Obama or Bush, it is a hard nut to crack.
We are at about 6-9% unemployment now using the full bls numbers and leaving wiggle room to avoid arguing the point. if we get to a real 5% my guess is we will see the participation rate start to increase
I want Trump to do well, but his approval rating is in the toilet, and that's partly because of weak economic growth. He's been weak on the economy, weak on negotiating healthcare, and now he's proving to be weak on North Korea.
I was talking to a nice family from the Midwest earlier this week. They voted for Trump, but they said he is weak, so they won't be voting for him again. They said that lots of other people in their small town feel the same way.
