Trump's lack of accomplishments actually a good thing

Donald Trump has now been in the White House for a little more than six months, so it seems like a good time to look back and ask, what has he accomplished so far? If we're honest (and despite what his most ardent supporters claim), the answer is not very much.
   Trump claimed recently that he's signed more bills so far than any president in history. That's simply not true. Sure, he's signed a gaggle of executive orders repealing a bunch of Obama era regulations and restarting the XL pipeline, among other things. But let's take a look at the major promises he made on the campaign trail:
Health care: This is perhaps his biggest failing. Trump promised Americans that he would repeal President Obama's signature legislative achievement on his very first day in office. So far, that hasn't happened. In fact, not only have Republicans been unable to repeal Obamacare, it's become very clear that they have no real plan to replace it with, and that they never had a plan. It's become clear that they only used the issue to win votes and gain power. The problem is, once they achieved that goal, they had no idea what to do next. In the meantime, thank goodness, Obamacare survives.
The Wall: So far, this has failed to materialize. And despite the fact that the number of deportations has increased and DREAMers are now being deported, it's not even on the radar. There's been no discussion about funding. And there certainly has been no more discussion about Mexco paying for the wall. For right now, at least, it's a dead issue.
Muslim ban: This has met with only limited success. His first attempt was roundly rejected when it failed to take into account people who were here legally. He tried again, and this time, met with a very narrow definition of success. The ban was allowed to go into effect, but it is far from what he wanted, since it allows almost all manner of relatives to come into the country instead of the very narrow definition that he tried to implement originally. The overall impact is that very few people are actually kept out, and that's a good thing. And the existing ban still faces legal challenges.
Jobs: This was perhaps the one thing that put him over the top. And yet, it also has been proven to be all smoke and mirrors. Right before the election, it was announced that Trump had cut a deal with Carrier to keep jobs in Indianapolis. This was touted as evidence of Trump "going to bat" for the working class. Now, we know that very few jobs, if any, were actually saved. In fact, Carrier just announced that 600 people would soon be laid off in two waves. So how many jobs did he actually save? Consider also his answer for putting Americans back to work. Trump wants to put steep punitive tariffs on goods coming into this country. The idea is two-fold: keep foreign-made goods from flooding the market and encourage people to buy American. Sounds good, right? Except that our trading partners have already said that they would respond by placing steep punitive tariffs on American goods coming into their countries. Which would, of course, wreak havoc on our economy. Keep in mind also that China, who buys more American-made goods than anyone in the world, holds trillions of dollars in U.S. debt, and the folly of this move becomes apparent. If China is angered and decides to call in those markers, the U.S. economy would crater and would likely never recover. So how is this a good idea again?
   The truth is, Trump has accomplished very little in his first six months. And while that would normally be cause for concern, in this case, I say good. I hope it continues. Because the less he accomplishes, the safer we, and the world, are.
