Has Trump Done Anything Right?

Donald Trump is completely incompetent.  If he does something presidential it was probably an accident.  I really believe he is trying to destroy the country although I can't figure out why other than his personal and mental deficiencies.

Below is a list of issues where I disagree with what he is doing.  Some represent failures to honor his presidential oath, others are just illegal, some are flagrant corruption.  Many are just the result of his outrageous stupidity and ignorance.  Some are all four. 

• Incessant lying to confuse all the unpresidential actions the administration is taking. Trump lies about everything.  He lies constantly.  Add to that he can't keep his mouth shut if he thinks he can make himself look good.  This includes spilling  national security issues. 
•  The rule of law is ignored.  Due process is ignored.  Laws that Trump doesn't like are ignored.
• Disdain for the separation of powers as defined in the Constitution.
• Coercion is used to effectively neuter congressional oversight.
• Courts and judges are insulted and abused.  Judicial orders are ignored. 
• Politicization of historically independent agencies like the Department of Justice and the FBI. 
• Executive actions are often invoked to inflict pain and damage on individuals, political enemies, businesses, institutions (independent, public and private).
• Willful cruelty has become a political tool and in some cases, a policy. 
• Willful ignorance as to what made this country the "leader of the free world" and how his actions are diminishing our standing in the world.
• Disrespecting and punishing allies who are not sufficiently obsequious.
• Failure to understand that are allies are part of what make us the most powerful country.  At least we were the most powerful country.  Trump may change that. 
• Putting clearly unqualified people into important positions. 
• DOGE: Every administration is expected to fight waste, fraud and abuse.  They will try to delete, remove or improve the actions of previous administrations, but DOGE seemed like more of an attempt to destroy departments, agencies and civil service employees for no apparent reasons except maybe retribution or spite.  
• Lack of support for Ukraine.
• Reverence for authoritarians. 
• Politicization of the military.  The military is just another tool to protect himself or increase his power.
• Use of the active military for domestic police activities. 
• Politicization of the federal civil service work force. 
• His war on DEI.  His lack of respect for historical individuals and institutions that have helped to make this county great. 
• Denigrating the military service of women. 
• Removal of protections for LGBTQ+ people.  Banning trans individuals from the military.  
• His war on trans individuals, especially trans children and their families. Life can be hard enough for these people without Trump using them as political tools.
• Rewarding MAGA states, sycophants and supporters while punishing political opponents, liberals and blue states.
• Renaming military institutions to honor Confederate soldiers and politicians. 
• Rolling back protections for the environment.   Actions to increase fossil fuel production which includes opening formerly protected federal lands.  Reducing pollution controls on coal fired energy plants.
• Relying on extortion as his primary negotiation strategy.  He is not good negotiator.  He is a bully. 
• Destruction of USAID.
• Dismantling the Department of Education.
• Dismembering agencies like FAA, FDA, NIH, CDC...  
• Disdain for scientific research.  Casual destruction of research which could take years to restart.
• Ignorance of basic scientific facts and a refusal to listen to people who could help him understand these issues.   I think he hates scientists because they obviously know more than he does about their areas of expertise.
• Oblivious to the harm his rash actions cause. 
• Destroying ongoing research in many areas of study. 
• Attacks on the freedom of the press and attacks/de-funding of PBS, NPR, CPB, Voice of America and related communication agencies that promote democracy and truthful reporting around the world. 
• Tariffs.
• Disrespecting and punishing allies who are not sufficiently obsequious. 
• Attacks against out allies. Especially the bullying of  Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Panama, Europe, NATO, etc.
• Border and immigration issues.  What started as a policy to deport illegal immigrants who had committed serious crimes became actions to roundup and deport many non-citizens for no apparent reasons.  People who are here legally were also caught up in their lawlessness.  Some were arrested without warning by people who were not clearly identifiable as legal officers of the government, forced into vehicles with nothing that identified them as official vehicles and then they were moved around the country and out of the country to prevent them from getting the legal support they were entitled to. 
• Attacks on higher education.  Our higher education institutions were the envy of the world.  Trump wants to destroy them or make them subservient to the administration.  Especially Harvard which Trump clearly wants to destroy. 
• Measures were taken to intimidate foreign students in the U.S. to force them to leave the country.  That is so stupid.
• Corruption.  Using his position as president to enrich himself, his family and key supporters.
• Meme Coins.
• Special rewards for  people who buy large amounts of Trump's meme coin.
• The Qatari luxury jet.
• Openly selling presidential access. 
• Trumps relatives and friends making money off of their relation to him.
• Trump's eagerness to financially hurt working people so he can reward the rich.  
• Pardons of the January 6th rioters and other pardons seemingly to help Trump supporters. 
• Despite his outrageous boasting, Trump realizes he is not the smartest and most knowledgeable person.  Many of his actions are attempts to hide his very, very low self esteem.  This mental anguish is so debilitating he spends a great deal of effort trying to make other people convince him he is really great.  His desire for to remake the rose garden, add big flag poles around the White House, win a Nobel Prize, have his bust added to Mount Rushmore, put his picture up in multiple places in the White House, get his own opulent Air Force One are all examples of desire to cement his historical legacy and make him feel important.  It would all be very sad if his mental deficiencies were not hurting all of us. 

I will add more issues as I identify them.  Trump is obviously proud of his ability to break all the laws, rules and norms he can so we can all expect more outrageous acts. Please comment on any issues I've missed.
