He did his job. Time to move on.
Remember that he also defeated Jeb Bush. So he thwarted and probably even ended two real or potential political dynasties.

Enemies of both used him as a useful tool for that, then they worked to get rid of him starting the next day and still counting.

He didn't finish building the wall.

Other than that, nothing.

I've said this from the beginning of his political career.

Donald Trump is a liar, a bully, and a cheat. He's literally everything we're supposed to teach our children not to be.

I like most of his policies and how he put America first and thought outside the box sometimes. I honestly wish he would just retire and write a book and go away. I said it countless times he's going to cost the republicans the election.

His twitter obsession.
When he gives speeches he whines about the election being stolen in 2020 and his legal woes.
He wont shut up especially when multiple people told him too.
His handling of the classified documents and showing it off to random people. He should've just handed them over.
How he handled the Jan 6 protestors.
He trusts people too much.
How he treated the media sometimes just disrespectful to the news reporters.
Transition of power between Trump to Biden i thought Trump was a sore loser for that.

He would have if he had been re-elected. He fought the Democrats for the funds to build the wall the first part of his presidency so what did you expect?

The only thing that I don't like about him is that he did not replace every single person of the left over Obama administration down to the janitor levels. He was too trusting and in the end, was cheated out of another 4 year term by the lowest of low presidents, Joe Biden. I also have difficulty listening to his rallies after a time. A few times is fine. Overall, he was the best president of my lifetime and he truly loves this country which is more than can be said for the last 4 or 5 presidents prior to him.

I think Trump was the right idea, just the wrong guy. What we have back in the oval office is establishment beholden to big money, just like the rest of them. In a way, you can thank Trump for Biden. Had Trump put country over his own ambition? I think the outcome would have been different. It is a sad surrender when his die hard base can't see through the grift and corruption and still support what his own people have been telling you of how corrupt he is. Why?

Trump's problem is that he is a malignant narcissist and corrupt to the core. I think of him as a more refined mob boss than the base ball bat wielding mafia. White collar criminals seem to skate more than they are convicted. Just look at what happened in 2008. How many people went to jail for that scam that caused a global recession?

Trump knows how to game the system and get people to fall on the sword for him. Everyone has their price and buying off witnesses is easy for him.

Trump was way too cozy with Putin for my liking. I would be willing to bet that not a single die hard read the Mueller report. The truth is in there, but we all know by now that facts don't matter when you're under the spell of a charismatic leader. Heck, Hitler still had followers up to the bitter end. So will Putin.

Trump having his family in the White House and pulling strings to have Kushner get a security clearance when he should never have been near any secrets? Ivanka goes to China with daddy and gets 41 trademarks to companies linked to her? Those trademarks were approved 40% faster after Trump was elected. Kushner gets billions from the Saudi's? You still want to talk about Hunter's lap top but not this as well?

Trump inherited a booming economy and left office having lost more jobs than he created. His lies about Covid being a hoax cost thousands of American lives. Stealing our secrets and hiding them in plain sight is not only a crime, but a disgrace. This is not a man serious about protecting our security.

He's just rich low life, He's crude, petty, and obnoxious. He cheats on his wife with a sleazy porn star. Are these the images we want on the world stage? Most people forget about how complex geopolitics can be and how our leader has to be trusted on the world stage to maintain our leadership. Trump failed miserably there.

For the simpletons that think it's all about owning the Libs. Go read something and stop cutting off America's nose to spite its face. I like facts and bottom lines, and what I see is that Trump was more of a disaster than what he's done that was good.

Democrat talking points and a lot of lies. 2020 the economy closed because of COVID, HELLO, jobs are going to be lost. Make up your mind. Either Covid was real or it wasn't or it was exaggerated to expand government powers but you can't have it both ways. The economy was riding high before Covid.

Trump didn't lie about the vaccine. It was President Biden for over a year that told American people that if you take the vaccine you wouldn't get the virus or spread it. How many people died by that lie?

More Americans died by the virus under Biden than Trump but you blame ONLY Trump but voted for Biden. Thanks for the laugh.

Being respectful and dealing with dictatorships with nukes to avoid WW 3 is now consider bad for some Americans. We most push them to a corner to look tough and be self righteous. Since when the left became the war party?

Again, You can't complain about Trump with your long list when you voted for Biden.

Frankly, it would be easier to build a (brief) list of positives. The negatives would fill a book. He certainly lowered the bar for everybody else; his political allies are becoming a joke.
