Trump: What has he done for you lately?

I have heard an increasing number of Donald Trump supporters complain they are being judged unfairly for their political views and that the good this president has done for them outweighs anything else.

It is true that rural America has been overlooked for some time and there is justice in wishing this addressed. So, my question is: What has Trump done that you approve of?

Do you approve of separating children from their parents because these families dared to flee violence in their home countries or dream of a better future?

Do you approve of his measures on the economy? He has cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations and begun a trade war that will cost many American jobs and injure our economy.

Or do you approve of his foreign policy, in which he denigrates allies and openly praises dictators such as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un?

I can hardly cover everything, so you tell me. What do you approve of?
