Lets take a look at Trump compared to other presidents on the "America First" scale from the "historians" viewpoint, which is the longer view of presidential impacts. Many of Trump's "upsetting the apple-cart" and/or "bull in the China shop" policies and personality may not look good short term, but I believe that Trump will end up in the higher end of the "Mid-Grade" presidents based on his "Promises Kept" and fabulous economy. If Trump gets a 2nd term and keep doing great things he may even end up at the bottom of the Best presidents list, alongside Reagan, Ike, and Truman.
