I'm not trying to stir the pot or anything here, and I never care about politics anyways. I'm just mostly asking out of curiosity. Don't get triggered now...

Oh, and yes. I know he met with Kim Jong Un. And that's pretty much all I know.

Surprisingly little of substance, given that he has as uncontested control of government as anyone is likely to get these days.

-His biggest piece of legislation was the tax cut, that temporarily cut taxes for the middle class and permanently cut taxes for the rich and businesses, at the cost of adding trillions to the deficit (of note: Trump is, for some reason, still running deficits in an era of soaring economic growth, which is absolutely unbelievably bad economics).

-He has nominated two Supreme Court Justices (notably the latest one gets the dubious distinction of being the only Supreme Court Judge ever nominated by a president who lost the popular vote, then confirmed by senators who represent less than 50% of the US population, and whose confirmation was opposed by a majority of voters).

-He has launched a regulatory cutback spree, including significant cuts to regulation on consumer protection, environmental regulation, and educational regulations

-Launched an immigration crackdown, to pretty mixed reception

-Has launched a series of trade wars, mostly against US allies (bizarrely).

....that's pretty much the highlights, such as they are.
