Has Trump done anything good?

He has not started any new wars.

Amen.

Well, yes. Technically all those militiae were already organized in 2016. They are just a little noisier and more active now.

IIRC, an awful lot of them organized in 2008 and 2012. (But it wasn't racism or anything! Promise!)

The militia movement was in full swing under Bill Clinton's presidency.

Sure. I'm talking about the new crop of 'non-white-supremacist' militias. Y'know, "Oathkeepers" and shit like that.

Which, in about two months, will give my brain some beneficial active learning.  After the inauguration I will have to start remembering to put flag stamps on envelopes right side up again.  I flubbed it exactly once in the previous four years, but hopefully the retraining period will be short.

Trump's ability to do an end-around traditional news sources and speak directly to his base through social media (and other means) has been unusually successful. The term "Fake News" is now a generally accepted term in most circles here in the red state I live in. I don't know if this is "good," but it has been interesting.

The last guy who said plainly that the media are biased against republicans, and got people to listen, was Reagan. Ron Reagan, the president's son gives me the impression he believes hid dad would answer 'no' to the question posed by this thread, but he doesn't necessarily know.
