Nope none is factual sans the Wall. Mexico would eventually pay for it IMO but now we will never know.Iran deal. North Korea deal. China trade deal. Balance budget. 4% economic growth. Troops out of Syria. Health care reform. His tax plan broke many of his promises including the idea that it wouldn’t disproportionately benefit the wealthy and that it’d be revenue neutral.

The wall being TBD is a good example of how Trump weasels out of “promises”. He is extremely vague. You can’t be held to account if you never actually promise something and rarely if ever does that actually make a promise, it’s typically couched in hedging and one of his favorite phrases, “we’ll see what happens”.
Neutral? The Dow went up by 1800. That's 6% in a month RETARDDo you not know how to read? The market was neutral as the assumption is the Republicans retain control of the Senate and block many of the D whacky policies. SMH....If that were true you would think the market would react negatively to the Biden win.So you are OK with retirement accounts tanking as House and Senate push the corpse left?While Trump due to his polarizing nature seemingly lost the election to a corpse, the Senate remaining red and the House likely going red in 2020 has kept the markets in check. However, if Georgia goes fully blue then the country will go full Leftist/Socialist and markets will crumble.
Georgia runoff results could trigger a 10% stock market selloff: Strategist
A Democratic win of the two contested Senate seats could trigger a selloff in the markets, according to Oppenheimer strategist John Stoltzfus.www.yahoo.com
In the end money talks. Let's see what happens.
I am curious what others think. Do you want one party rule --- or do you prefer as the markets do, a two party checks and balances rule?
There is a lot to be said for one party rule on the federal level. Sound persons of good character with the Congress behind them can do wonderous things. Medicare Part D for one thing under Bush in 2003. They should have raised taxes to pay for it. One party rule can do terrible things too of course but sound persons of good character can do wonderous things. The ACA is another example.
We didn't have that with your blob. We had a man-child whose character was dead if he ever hand any and a Senate that makes up rules as it goes along and then violates them...see ACB and nominee Garland.
So I have no problem with the Senate turning blue.
Sadly for you and your partisan bullshit the opposite is true

So the OP is horse shit. I agree with that if not how you arrived at itPeople with 'real money' AKA those who control the 'market' all know Biden is nothing but a senile fart in the wind.The markets aren't concerned with the puppet on the podium.
Business is business
'President' Harris will blow whatever the radical Left/Media direction they tell her to.
In the end the 'market' will just ignore these Leftists and concentrate on making more $.

Spending money on the military is hardly an accomplishment and our isolation from allies arguably makes us weaker militarily.
He bailed on any meaningful reform on immigration. Little if anything done legislatively and anything done can be easily undone. Nothing really happened with H1B visas, refugee laws which was promised.
Republicans always lower taxes, explode deficits. Again, he does the easy thing, but bails on the hard work.
Not sure if by DNK you are referring to DPRK? There was no promised peace treaty. We are technically still at war.
Again, I’m not saying he didn’t fulfill any campaign promises, I’m saying that many of not most of the most important things he promised never really materialized. What he did accomplished was the easy things. Pushing judges chosen by the federalist society through the Senate where he has a majority isn’t hard. Passing tax cuts by reconciliation (which doomed them to sunset provisions) is easy. Withdrawing from the JCPOA is easy.
It went up due to stimulus talk. Zero to do with Biden. You inject $2Trn and of course the markets will go up. You are a very uneducated and stupid person. You don't even grasp that with that package we would have injected 1/3 of our annual income into the markets. That is unprecedented money printing.This Bag of Douche thinks a 6% gain in a MONTH is a "neutral market" and "I" don't understand financial markets?You don’t really have a clue about financials markets do you

So you admit he was true to his campaign promises. What more can you ask? No you can argue that his campaign was weak and he should not have won but that is a different argument altogether.

This is nothing to be proud of. Ears did it with the help of the Fed keeping interest rates at zero and adding on massive debt, while starting five new wars. All this did was enrich the rich and add trillions to the national debt, while doing nothing to help the working class.The market climbed 149% under Obama over 8 years. Your post is false.
The market underperformed and so did the economy. Your devotion to the party is commendable.
The statistics prove I am correct. The DJIA rose 149%.
When he took office: 7,949.09
When he left office: 19,732.40
You can do the math, can't you?
This resulted in Americans electing a buffoon, who then continued O’s awful economic policies of more debt and enrichment of the rich...leading to the election of an old washed up always wrong swamp creature, who will continue the exact same fiscal policies.
North Korea has more nuclear weapons now than they did before and the peace deal he promised never materialized (despite some people claiming otherwise). The only thing he did was kiss ass to Kim.

What was the most difficult thing he accomplished? Military spending?
Most difficult likely was the de-escalation with North Korea. Trade war with China (held them accountable). Immigration reform. Embassy in Jerusalem. Other presidents, including BHO promised that but never delivered. Return of manufacturing back to the US (lower taxes/fewer regulations). Again, that was his platform. We may debate how hard or easy it was but he ran on that, won and delivered on most of those promises. What more can you really ask from a novice politician?
Western Europe has much better worker protections (lots of unions) and far less income inequality. Amazingly those nations have healthcare for their people, but the US just can’t get it done.This is nothing to be proud of.

If there is none can describe what you want while being realistic.

He worked with South Korea and China and he did what South Korea ASKED him to do. Since South Korea is in the greatest danger from the North. He called the fatty Rocketman and stood up to him. Didn't kiss anything. Politifact is biased and leftist. Again, he ran on a certain platform and executed on it. Nothing he did was a shock to me. Maybe to you it was but not to me sans the Embassy in Jerusalem. I believed that to be another empty promise. He also made Judaism a religion and race, which is very important to me, being a Jew. Doesn't matter to you, I get it.
