What has he done that you like? Almost a month in he's signed only one law (legislative waiver allowing Mattis to serve as Sec'y of Defense), the only actually implementable executive order he's issued was immediately tossed as unconstitutional but had the effect of fucking with a lot of American residents/students/workers' lives while giving ISIS extra recruiting ammunition ("the blessed ban"), meanwhile he's set-off the biggest public protests in the nation's history, pissed off longstanding allies, alienated countries and people whose cooperation is needed in the fight against terror, authorize an inadequately planned and executed raid on ISIS that had disastrous results (including killing an 8 year old American citizen along with over a dozen other kids), peddled from day one a series of blatant lies (inauguration crowd size, elector college victory size, the existence of widespread voter fraud that just happens to only occur in states he lost, and the list goes on), have his spokesperson violate ethics laws by using her post in the administration to hawk his daughter's merchandise, tried to undermine the institution of the judiciary, set the record for the quickest member of an administration to be forced to resign, destabilize bedrock American international policies (NATO, One China and the Two State Solution) without any actual plan all while managing to spend more taxpayer money in one month on personal travel and security than Obama did in a full year with the added kicker that a portion of that taxpayer money gets paid directly to his companies. And that's just off the top of my head.
ETA: Can't believe I forgot my favorite - breaching a contract with the government of the United States.
I am genuinely curious as to what hopes conservatives like you have had fulfilled.
I love just about all of President Trump's cabinet selections (particularly Mattis at Defense and Sessions at DOJ as well as DeVos at Education and Pruitt at the EPA), his Supreme Court nominee Gorsuch seems very qualified, and I like that he's taken his talk directly to the American people by sidestepping an obviously biased lame stream media who views themselves as intelligent and important yet who still have not comprehended why or how he won. The press ruined its own credibility with the American people over the past 25 years by becoming shills for the left-wing socialist agenda. The president is simply taking advantage of that fact.
But he's also done the following: frozen the size of the federal workforce outside of the military; ordered federal agencies to cut two regulations for every new one that they propose; signed an executive order asking DOJ and DHS to withhold federal funds, except as mandated by law, from sanctuary cities that flaunt our immigration laws; approved the Dakota access pipeline and the Keystone pipeline; pulled the country out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal; undermined Obamacare by ordering federal agencies to grant exemptions from it, because if the IRS won't enforce the so-called fee that's really a tax, then the guts have been removed; and he's going to build the wall between the US and Mexico. The markets are up. Several new large jobs creations here in the US have been announced. All in all, not a bad first month for the controversial president.
The lame stream media is so hopelessly biased that it won't report on these positive developments, but the president is getting the word out anyway via his own channels. The public knows. And I wouldn't believe the so-called polls right now; they were wrong when he got elected, and they're wrong now.
I can't wait for month number two.
