    Overturn RvW. He campaigned on this promise and he got it.

    I’m not saying it as a gotcha but there are very much things he promised and he delivered on, many of which were done via very illegal and unconstitutional executive orders.

    Other “accomplishments”:

    (Quick side note: I’m only counting policy based accomplishments. Things like hating on gays or hurting immigrants, while technically promises, I’m going to categorize as “legalized oppression”.)

    • deregulation of the Internet (Fuck Ajit Pai)
    • “building” the “wall” and having Mexico “pay” for it, done primarily via tariffs that ended up hurting Americans more but his base didn’t care (this one is a stretch but I’m counting it)
    • simplified parts of the tax code that gave everyone a tax cut (ignoring the part that for lower and middle class this cut was often a few dollars while for the Uber rich it was thousands)

    There are more but I need to get back to my date. 😅
