Domestic Policy- F-

Economy: F-. If your a fan of speculative bubbles you'll probably like it. I am not.
Trade: D. He pulled out of TPP and selectively slaps tariffs but has otherwise maintained neoliberal trade policies.
Crime: F-. The long crime decline has finally begun reversing itself while a massive prison population carries on growing.
Immigration: F- (Not much need be said)
Race Relations: F- (Not much need be said)
Environment: F-. Drumpf is even more rabidly supportive of the fossil fuel industry than oilman Dubya.
Healthcare: F-

Foreign Policy- F-

Afghanistan: F-. Year seventeen and no end in sight.
Syria: F-. He has done nothing to withdraw from this conflict.
Cuba: C. He's made no progress but hasn't really made the situation worse.
China: F-. Has failed at competing with them to put it mildly.
Iran: F-. Drumpf has returned to Bush-era policy on Iran.
North Korea: This one is a roller coaster.
Russia: F. Confused, indecisive, and switches his attitude at the drop of a hat.

Overall: F-

Putting America in danger of a successful military coup? Something unthinkable under Obama or even Dubya?

F.

The risk is now non-zero.

God forbid an African American president acknowledge the plight of African Americans in America and elevate them and their issues for a change.

Meanwhile, Trump raises white nationalists whose calling in life is to literally divide the races, and that's B+ on race relations. I don't even know what to say.

Neighborhoods and police relations got much worse.

In other words, ignoring the problem would have made it go away.

Domestic Policy- D-

Economy: B+
Trade: C (I'm not as free trade as most Democrats)
Crime: D
Immigration: F
Race Relations: F
Environment: F
Healthcare: F (He promised to repeal the ACA and failed spectacularly. Now all he can do is try to sabotage it because they can't pass anything after campaigning on "repeal and replace" since 2010)

Foreign Policy- D

Afghanistan: C
Syria: C
Cuba: F
China: C-
Iran: D-
North Korea: C+ (they're still working on their nuclear program LOL)
Russia: LMAO

Overall: D-

He gets a solid D-, and the fact that he's a narcissistic jackass probably brings him down to an F

And I'm being generous

He Blamed the wrong people involved in both cases



For Trayvon Martin he should have blamed the DA for overcharging Zimmerman because if the DA charges Zimmerman with Manslaughter they likely are able to get a conviction because in that case he can be convicted of it even if he didnt start the fight , while for him to be convicted of Murder you have to prove he started the fight and there is really no way to have done that.

Michael Brown the blame should have been put on police training instead of implying the police are racist.

Domestic Policy- C

Economy: B-. Tax cuts helped the economy and while yes, stock buybacks were a lot of it - I'm a fan of getting as much money removed the stock market as possible.
Trade: C/I. A long game is being played here.  The US has the leverage to force a world of full free trade, or it'll blow up in Donny's face.
Crime: D. The eye of Trump is turning to the prison problem, lots of "nice gestures" - little substance. Wait and see again.
Immigration: B-. Fix the camps, the wall is stupid as they are flying to Canada now. Pull back military for border patrol.
Race Relations: D-. Trying but the hate for Trump and the rift that started with Obama is widening.
Environment: F.  Going overboard now, the regulation cutting was good to start but now it's getting stupid with the asbestos nonsense.
Healthcare: F.  No repeal, no solution in sight.

Foreign Policy- D

Afghanistan: F. Bring. our. troops. home. This is a lost cause.
Syria: C-. Worked with Russia (gasp!) to help end ISIS threat, still in progress and mistakes were made. Need an exit strategy.
Cuba: N/A. Cuba is turning capitalist slowly, big win but not really due to Trump.
China: D-. Poking around with China is probably his biggest mistake in foreign relations/trade. Yet it may work out.
Iran: C. The nuke deal wasn't a good one, need pressure to get them to
North Korea: I. Conflicting reports, and is KJU sincere?
Russia: D+. Trying to get something done to work with Russia, very awkwardly and isn't doing anything to silence his detractors.

Overall: D+/C-

Domestic Policy-F-

Economy: C-. The only reason he scores this high is because he  somehow managed to not screw up the hand he was dealt in Jan. 2017. We'll see how he deals with any recession that might arise.
Trade: F. TPP was a bad deal and think he made the right call pulling out, however I don't like the fact that they supposedly considered re entering it after the tariffs backfired, and I don't like his general "shoot from the hip first" approach to tariffs, nor do I like that his politically motivated bailout of farmers after they got hit hard because of his recklessness.
Crime: F-.His campaign in 2016 alone made the issue worse, and his election to the Presidency emboldened the worst people on both the right and left.  He's done nothing to make the issue better since being sworn in either.
Immigration: F-. Not even gonna go there.
Race Relations: F-. Like with Crime, he emboldened the worst of people on this issue.
Environment: F.
Healthcare: F-. After saying everyone would be covered in 2016, He's done nothing but try to screw millions out of their health insurance since Jan. 2017,  and the only reason he thankfully hasn't succeeded was because there's no unity within his own party of what to do after repealing the ACA and because of his own incompetence.

Foreign Policy- F-

Afghanistan: F A continuation of Bush and Obama. We're still there with no end in sight and have no idea why we're still there.
Syria: F-. He has done nothing to better the situation, and might very well make the situation worse.
Cuba: C. He's made no progress but hasn't really made the situation worse.
China: F-. Has done nothing but make them an even bigger threat to us economically.
Iran: F-. Solely out of spite, undid a significant deal brokered during the Obama administration and killed any chance we might've had at resolving the issue diplomatically.
North Korea: F. What could've been the highlight of his Presidency, his "only Nixon could go to China moment" has seen nothing meaningful achieved. I think time has proven that all Trump did was escalate the situation, only to bring back the status quo and call it a victory. It's a shame to because I think progress could've been made.
Russia: F. Anyone who says otherwise is a damn fool.

Overall: F-
