From what I'm seeing so far, Trump has

- deported a few thousand illegal immigrants who are criminals and rapists

- reduced border encounters by 60-90%

- taken back Panama Canal from Chinese dictatorship

- attempted to shrink the size of the government and American tax burden

- put more tariffs on Chinese dictatorship

- increased foreign spending in US by a few hundred billion

- focused US on AI

- prevented biological men from beating up biological women in sports

- taken over Gaza to prevent another war between Israel and Hamas

- gotten Mexico and Canada to finally own up to protecting the border

- been taking fentanyls killing Americans very seriously

I've never seen so many good things accomplished from a government in such a short time. I'm sure many people around the world are jealous at the velocity of our government.

> deported a few thousand illegal immigrants who are criminals and rapists

As well as thousands who are normal hard-working people.

> taken back Panama Canal from Chinese dictatorship

By using threats of force like a dictatorship.

> attempted to shrink the size of the government and American tax burden

In illegal, non-democratic ways.

> put more tariffs on Chinese dictatorship

As well as more democratic allies.

> focused US on AI

Without understanding the huge risks involved for all of humanity.

> taken over Gaza to prevent another war between Israel and Hamas

By doing ethnic cleansing.

> gotten Mexico and Canada to finally own up to protecting the border

And in the process lost the trust and respect of allies.

Do you have sources for that? Honestly trying to find out. Thanks!

The only way to round up the numbers Trump wants to round up at this point is by going to job sites. You may think differently, but I don't think criminal gang members are typically working construction, in meat packing plants or picking crops. They are busy doing...you know, criminal things.

Also, Biden has already addressed the numbers coming across the border [1]. So again, the people who are left are mostly hard working people trying to make a life.
