Trump will complete 6 months in office on 20 July.
When Trump won the election and before he took office, you likely had certain expectations from him. How has he done on them? Are you less enthusiastic or more, after 6 months. Is he better or worse from his first term?

My wish-list was:

1. Remove illegal immigrants.
I give him a B.
He started well with a lot of publicity and big statements from Homan but news has died down. They may be working under the covers rather than to make the headlines.

2. Fix the H1B scam
Trump gets an F.
Nothing done on this front. Indian companies have been cheating the system for decades and everyone looks the other way because the rich guys make money and the middle/poor class are brainwashed/stupid. Musk said he will go go war on H1B. I want the H1B program to be complete canceled and a new one brought in place which does what it was intended to do (not bring in cheap labor).

3. Cut spending
Trump gets a D.
He started well with DOGE and daily updates but then has lost interest or realized he cannot do it. Musk, for all his wealth and success went about it in the most moronic way, impulsive and careless. Trump should have reined him in. His OBBB increases the debt. The only reason he does not get an F is because DOGE likely made some minor impact on spending.

4. Stock market
Trump gets a B.
He needs to realize that his off the cuff remarks can cause market volatility and people lose money. The swoon and recovery was not fun. Luckily I did not sell so I made it all back but it was nerve wracking. I am sure many people sold at lows. The ideal situation is a steady rise in the market.

5. Economy
Trump gets a B.
I am with him on tariffs in that if a country tariffs us, we tariff them back. If they remove it, we remove it. I don't like how he did it with a lot of swagger and no thought at all. The crazy cowboy way.

6. Jobs
Trump gets a D
The job market for the upper tier is still bad. Qualified Americans find it hard to get jobs while companies outsource away without a care in the world. What good is it to be an American if your country sells you out? Trump hasn't spoken a word on this. It may be okay if the local job market was booming so sending some offshore does not cause an impact but that is not the case.

7. Foreign Policy
Trump gets a B.
Biden was known to be a pushover (when he was awake). Foreign countries know that Trump and the US is not to be messed with. China and Russia are still a problem but India and other countries seem to be working with the US. Smaller countries are also trying to find common ground rather than blatantly take advantage. He hasn't been able to help resolve the UKR-RUS war and he seems to be hankering for a Nobel Prize. Pakistan took advantage of Trump's vanity and recommended him for it hoping to get aid/arms to use against India.

OVERALL: C

These are the issues that come to mind, I will update it as I think of some more.

Immigration A
Taxes A
Spending F

Hounding the Fed for lower rates F
Tariffs F
Roasting libs A
Getting Europe to pay for their defense A

Overall B-

STOP GIVING THE TALIBAN $$$$$


FFFFFFFF

The market is up 4.8% YTD. How does he get a B? -- C at best.

Spending and deficit - solid F

Tariffs are bull. I was in favor of tariffs during his first admin to try to get China to move on unfair trade; they didn't. Tariffs should not be used for protection and that's where we are. -- C on economy because of tariffs.

Trump has nothing to do with, and should have nothing to do with AI implementation and outsourcing. Blaming him for that is senseless.

Immigration -- B


Overall -- C+

He's gotten more done in 6 months than most presidents get done in four years.

A

He has COMPLETELY shut down the border. I think I heard him claim the other day that the month of June saw ZERO illegal crossings. I can't imagine that can be true, but even if not, it has drastically stopped. That's huge in my book. The rest of the stuff is pretty meh. He lost a lot of favor with me when he retreated and said "well, some illegal immigrants can stay, but some can't."

border security: A++

tariffs/ trade deals: A so far, but incomplete. initial market uncertainty and leftist media alarmism, but some great deals done and huge commitments by companies across industries to invest and build in USA. more work to do but it appears price increases to consumers haven't been to bad and economic impact more positive early than the alarmist TDS people hoped for.

doge cuts/: initially an A+ uncovering massive waste fraud and abuse, especially with USAID and the like, but this will fall to C or D if cuts can't be codified and massive government cuts aren't made

mass deportations: C not enough, not fast enough. the marxist regime will succeed in their America-hating endeavors here. it was never going to be possible to import 20 million unvetted mass migrants unfettered that quickly and then get them all out and the dems knew that.

ukraine-russia peace: C expected a deal quickly. need to end that disaster. hopefully soon

I want some treasonous criminals like Mayorkas in prison. I want Epstein's customers exposed and imprisoned. Failing here.

OP. You left off foreign policy. I'd give an A- on that. Big turnaround from Biden's "bend over" style foreign policy.

His AG pick is a flat betrayal

Agreed with this. He is at a C+ for me. The DOGE cuts need to be deep and codified. I want to see arrests soon. We keep hearing of all this corruption and not a single mfer has been arrested. Bondi has been a letdown for me

Overall - B

Anyone who doesn't give Trump an A+ on immigration is definitely not grading on a curve. What other POTUS would do so much so quickly? Illegal immigration has effectively come to a halt. Dealing with the millions that are already here has proven tougher than expected as Dems and their judges are thwarting efforts at every turn.

Immigration is both legal and illegal.
Just because something is legal, does not mean it is good and something we should do more of.

At this point, we don't need legal trash from Syria, Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other violent countries. The immigrants may be fine themselves but their children and grandchildren go bonkers after a visit to Mecca.

I was an A until the farmers. He's basically saying he will ignore immigration law, no different than the Dems. They get a pass next time they are in office for open borders since the line they draw is simply different than Trump's. They both ignore the law for different reasons.

I'm hoping that Trump is signaling that he wants some kind of worker/laborer visa program for low skill jobs that are currently being filled by lots of illegals. I hope this is NOT amnesty for some illegals depending on their field of employment. That would be counterproductive.

Just a comment...

While DOGE identified WF&A, cutting it was more complicated...because of lawfare...local district judges empowered to decree nationwide injunctions...and Trump respectfully held back.

And Red Congress, in spite of their loud rhetoric about the wonderful things DOGE was doing, they took no action, even to the point of excluding some DOGE cuts in the OBBB.

And they have yet to open accounting type audits on Medicare and SS thievery...

In spite of us wanting to blame or praise Trump, there are multiple other opponents that are doing their emotional and level headed best to horse-collar, pull the jersey, clip, face mask or hands to the head, to Trump to delay, delay, delay...

His opponents? Same as they always been...Dems, Libs, Marxists, Lawyers, Judges, Congressmen, Senators, Reporters, Newshosts and talk show hosts. All with the intent of shaping public opinion against him.

It is still a war of all against one. And, when you give him a grade, recognize the group(s) that handicap his movements, please.

DOJ just confirmed that there is no report card

You people. Hoodwinked.

Releasing the Epstein files: F

How he and his cronies have handled the Epstein stuff is beyond shameful. At this point, can;t blame anyone for assuming Elon wasn't completely making it up, and that Trump was involved, in a capacity that would be damning. Can't think of many other reasons for Pam Bondi's flip flop.

I don't even know if I like Kash Patel anymore. And I was a huge fan. But you could tell this topic made him super nervous on Joe Rogan a month or two ago. He couldn't wait to get back on a diff subject.

THE RIGHT THING IS TRANSPARENCY AND BRINGING THE SICK MONSTERS INVOLVED TO JUSTICE.

I stopped at "I gave him a B"on illegal immigration.

i would give trump a B so far he had momentum to be. solid A but i am not sold on the BBB and the increase in spending and the epstein conclusion is very very fishy. i like the way he has handled the israel and middle east but wish he would stick to his guns in ukraine. we are sending the weapons yet again.

This is where I am at. He gets up everyday and fights for us. It's what we always said we wanted and we're finally getting it and he has zero F's to give in the process.

It's now or never and Trump chooses now.

I do not at all agree with every position. But unlike Elon I am not going to take my ball, go home, and throw and epic hissy fit.

I genuinely still get shivers if I pause and think on where we would be had Harris been elected.

I stopped at "I gave him a B"on illegal immigration.

If you "stopped", then why did you post?

Trump gets an A+ on immigration. I don't see how you can say otherwise. This is about as good as we can expect all things considered. The (false) mantra has been "you can't do mass deportations" for so long, people believed it. Never in my lifetime did I expect to see this effort made.

This crucial action alone makes him the best president in my lifetime and that includes Reagan. Deporting the illegals touches just about every other one of those issues from the economy, bloated government agencies, foreign policy, national security, election integrity, and on and on.

Did ya'll know that infinity ag doesn't like the H1B process, or the people who come in using said process?

This is a massive revelation to me.

It's because he really, really, really doesn't like the people who use H1B. There's a name out there for his perspective on those people but it will get you banned.

Arrests! Prosecutions! Are they guilty or NOT?????????????????????????

If you saw what a scam it was, you wouldn't like it too.
Unless you were Elon Musk and made billions out of cheating Americans.

I want the process to be fixed to do what it was meant to do.

Closing the border: B. Sure he's done excellent for stopping the flow of illegals but what bout the wall? It needs to be COMPLETED during his term which will at least be a permanent obstacle.

Deporting illegals: he's done more than any other president I've seen in my lifetime, but it's not enough. He needs to raise those deportation numbers up at least an order of magnitude to deport anywhere near 10 million illegals.

Draining the swamp: D. He seems to have all the right people in place but nothing is happening.

Economy: B ( A on the tarrifs, D on cutting the debt, B on everything else)

Foreign Policy, mideast: A
Foreign policy, Ukraine/Russia: B

Nasa: D for dumbass - letting Jarred Issaccman go and slashing Nasa's budget.

Ending Joe Biden's reign of terror: A+

I won't be paying much attention to this on July 20th. That's Moon Landing Day!

Compared to any democRat- A++

Overall - B- no cuts in spending, course, that's more of a govt issue.

Immigration - B, until he supported amnesty for certain groups, he was an A+.

Fiscal - F, things are still getting more and more expensive (govt inflation numbers are a joke, still), no real spending cuts or tax cuts (keeping the current rate is "Meh!", actually cut taxes more for everyone) BuildBackBetter2 is a joke. Gut regulations. Tariffs are liberal idiocy.

Foreign Policy- A


Overall, C-

Like before, he's "Meh!" and lacks leadership, in general.

Overall B+.

Encouraging too much spending in the BBB keeps it out of A territory altho I expected what we got . At least I feel like the spending is much more in the interest of Americans (net positive) vs destructive /divisive anti-America spending .

His communication style has improved and is more effective vs his first term imo and he picked better people to surround himself with by miles this time as well.

A+

What he has done, even though I don't like all of it, is incredible. As someone above said, more in 6 months than most in 4 years.

Just because he hasn't fixed everything on everyone's lists shouldn't limit him.

If you want to give him an INC, I would agree but for 6 months, he's been outstanding.

Question for those of you who give him a B/C, do you give every other president an F for their full term?
