However, I find him embarrassing to listen to, and some of his comments on twitter are unbelievable, but he seems to get things done despite opposition.
Two of the things he impressed me with was his wall to keep out undesirables, we don't hear much about that now, but an American poster who lives close to the border with Mexico said it was almost finished and was doing it's job. Apparently the media aren't interested in him when things are going right.

Trump has promised to build at least 500 miles of new fencing by early next year, and his administration has completed about 110 miles so far. To meet the president’s targets, crews will need to add about 30 linear miles of barrier per month throughout 2020, more than double the current pace of construction.Nearly all of the new fencing the Trump administration has built so far is considered “replacement” fencing, swapping out smaller, older vehicle barriers for a more elaborate — and costly — “border wall system.”
The administration has been slower to build new barriers where none currently exist, primarily because those spans require the acquisition of private land. Even with the slated construction goals, most of the southern border will not have a man-made barrier.
Just yesterday, our Supreme Courts have rules that Trump cannot use the Military funds he wanted to dip into for this wall.....obviously, Mexico never gave us one penny for it, even though Trump promised in his campaign that Mexico would pay for the whole thing. Another brag he never could deliver on, but his followers still believe everything coming out of his mouth.
