Is Trump winning? Depends on how one looks at it.

He's exposed the evangelicals for the what they really are.
He's conveyed to the global community that allies are temporary.
He's made clear to the country that flattering him is more important than oxygen.
He's demonstrated countless times that loyalty to Trump is a one way street.
His staff has learned that working in the Trump administration is a career ender.
He's lied to the country so many times that the count has reached an average of nine lies a day (up from 6.5)
He's shown that his greatest admiration goes to dictators.
He's exposed the Republican party's willingness to overlook things like profiting while in office, hiring family in the White House, hosting government, corporate and foreign meetings at his own properties allows him to profit personally while in office.
He's shown that his "best people" were selling access, traveling first class, shopping for exorbitantly expensive furniture, basing international meetings on desired locations to visit and bringing the spouse, all paid by taxpayers.
He's demonstrated hundreds of times so far how much he and the GOP hate the environment - National Geographic is keeping a running list.
He's made public many times how much he enjoys cheating on his wives and desiring his own daughter.
His own wife appears to detest him.
His former doctor says he wrote the note credited to his doctor stating the condition of his health. He apparently needs to a golf cart to walk just a few yards.
He walked into a strong economy and the first thing he did is increase the national debt by $1.5 trillion.
He claims to have brought jobs but the unemployment rate was 4% when he took office.
His tax plan benefits are targeted to his pals with 83% going to the wealthiest and he will will personally make a fortune from it.
He has demonstrated an historic level of hypocrisy, everything from how much he has vacationed, played golf, campaigned on taxpayer money and millions spent in security costs daily, all things he attacked Obama for.
He's broken endless promises such as Universal Health Coverage (everyone's gonna get health care and the government's gonna pay for it!) and not harming the LGBT community (immediately kicking them out of the military),
He's demonstrated a comically pathological obsession with Obama that must haunt his dreams at this point.
Is Trump winning? If winning is defined as being an obnoxious buffoon with nuclear codes, maybe?

Trump is working on drug prices that are much higher than any other nation. Hopefully Trump will get things done. The deep state of greed in big in Washington. It is a bought off big money to make money off of WE THE PEOPLE..

Nothing like demand for something when a person is sick and needs medicine to live. Sick people are given the shaft today to steal whatever the drug companies can get from them. The worst kind of greed on the backs of the sick. Other countries are not experiencing this at all.

What happened to Mr "Negotiator" Trump in this deal, why didn't he simply tell Kim to pack it up with no promise of any money ?
Clinton already gave north Korea money , oil and they gave Clinton the shaft and kept making their nukes. Read of what the history is of North Korea. Clinton failed.

So you're opposed to free-market capitalism and want government price controls on consumer products?

Sounds rather Marxist...

It is not a free market. Wake up. They control it. They own America. Why do you think we are price gouged for meds. Demand ..

Other countries have the same drugs and their countries WE THE PEOPLE can actually afford them. I talked to a woman who works with people who cannot afford thousands of dollars for drugs. It is bad here . It is theft on the sick .

Companies who develop products can charge whatever they wish for those products; however, if said product is too expensive relative to the market no one will buy that product. Capitalism 101.

The reason prescription drugs are so expensive is because:

a.) They're "prescription." Consumers shouldn't need government permission to buy drugs.
b.) The State gives monopoly privilege to drug companies.
c.) The cost of the drug is not paid by the person receiving the benefit of the drug but by the public.

Here are a couple of good articles explaining things from a free-market perspective.
