More telling is Trump's unstable personality, and his inability to listen to anyone other than his own in the moment whims. That's why he has no consistent view, vision, or even understanding of foreign policy, much less world history, and historical contexts. ("Kurds didn't help at Normandy")
Except at virtually every turn, Trump has been correct and the "experts" have been proven wrong. I guess he just keeps getting lucky again and again and again and again. And again.
Examples?
China - Win (best trade deal in ever and certainly better than TPP)
Iran - Win (deterred for first time in decades)
Syria - Win (ISIS subdued, no more support for "white helmet" Trojan horses)
NATO - Win (Paying far more than ever before)
Ukraine- Win (shipping them bombs instead of blankets)
NAFTA - Win. (USMCA superior deal)
Illegal immigration- Win (Mexico holding back tide before our borders)
Paris Climate Accords-Win (no more economy destroying nonsense which China and India committed only to raise emissions)
DPRK - Push (talking more than Sabre rattling and certainly more than in last 30 years, without gifts of nuclear reactors)
KSA - Push (didn't stupidly overreact to killing a Muslim brotherhood apologist)
To name a few.
Excellent list.
You left off:
Illegally paid off Porn star for campaign purposes
Failed campaign promise to address infrastructure
Failed campaign promise to replace Obama care
Exponentially running up the deficit
Setting Iran up to fast track nuclear weapons, without stopping them. Something he said he wouldn't allow.
Betraying the Kurds on a whim resulting in many deaths.
Precipitously handing the rest of Syria over to Russia and Iran.
Haphazardly ceding influence of a large part of the Middle East to Russia
Duped and manipulated by Russia into believing and acting on a bogus story about Cloud Strike.
Illegally withholding funds from Ukraine for his own personal gain.
Sending Rudi on a campaign of coercion.
Unnecessarily damaging his and U.S. credibility and relations with key allies and alliances.
Overstates his accomplishments on foreign trade (Benefits of China trade deal is uncertain,
USMCA is a modest tweak of NAFTA)
Failed North Korean denuclearization policy allowing NK to develop long range ballistic missiles.
Childish, caustic and corrupt behavior unnecessarily polarizing the country.
Habitual liar
Using office of Presidency for personal and family gain.
You can add:
Ballooning deficit (which will become an issue the instant the next Democrat is elected president and not a second before)
Climate change denial when we already have climate refugees in the U.S.
Has behaved abominably at every G-7 meeting, to the point where he/the U.S. is a laughingstock
Rollbacks/attempted rollbacks of environmental protections meant to promote corporate responsibility
Screwed the people of Puerto Rico after their territory was devastated by a hurricane
Tarriffs announced with no warning
Budget dollars diverted from military bases and housing to build the wall
Way beyond a "habitual liar" - Trump lies to the American people on a daily basis and has amassed an unsurpassable 4-Pinnochio record
Using American foreign aid as a bribe to force the Ukrainians to investigate the son of a campaign rival (making it clear he didn't care if the investigation happened or yielded the results--all he wanted was the damaging headline)
Impeached in the House, and would be impeached in the Senate IF he and Senate Republicans hadn't obstructed justice by blocking witnesses like John Bolton from responding to legal subpoenas and testifying
Undermining our intelligence services and diplomatic corps -- both major assets that will take years to recover from his / his admin's mismanagement - on a daily basis
Said he would fix healthcare and hasn't; isn't saying that any more
Only values personal loyalty; doesn't get the fact that government employees work for the American people and not for him
Depends on low-information and "inerrancy" voters who give him credit for things over which he has limited control (the stock market), and who assume the stock market is an index for economic well-being when lots of Americans are underemployed and lack health coverage
