Isn't that fun? Chopping the Antiquities Act and National Parks and Monuments, pulling out of Paris Agreement, neutering our State Dept as he badmouths the FBI and his other intelligence agencies choosing to believe Putin instead, refusing to advertise Obamacare, deporting Dreamers, firing any and all Obama appointees leaving dozens of positions empty including an Ambassador to SoKo, allowing polluters unfettered access to our clean air and water, failing to implement Russia sanctions on schedule as ordered by congress .. these are all "accomplishments" in Trumptard World.

Legislation is not the job of the POTUS, it is still that of congress. But considering the last 8 years I could understand why people think it is the president's job and the SCOTUS.
List the major pieces of legislation passed - Trump will finish his first year with BUPKIS

With the way the left continues to treat middle, America you can bet he's not losing much which means democrats aren't gaining.

I'm sorry when are the raising of taxes supposed to start ?
and taking their health care away and cutting social security and MEDICARE and Children's healthcare to pay for the tax cut primarily for the corporations and very top of the top families....
read a newspaper, inform yourself, the taxes on the poorest and middle class go up, beginning next year....

Ask the Republicans in Congress

Sorry, but Trump is providing no direction or leadership for Congress. He doesn't give a rats ass what's in a bill and cares less about shaping them than any other president in history. Hell, they could put a bill increasing SS and Medicare on his desk and he'd sign the damn thing.

Trump has probably not gained a significant number of votes. This country is too divided for anyone on either side to change their vote. He hasn’t lost any either.

LOL......
A. We have a mid term election coming up in less than a year.....
B. Like it or not, Trump is a republican whose putrid "shadow" will impact on every republican candidate.
C. Like it or not, Moore is ALSO a republican whose shadow will be an albatross on every republican candidate in 2018 AND 2020.
Trump has a hostile Congress because of his own behavior. He simultaneously demands the do something then when balked in any way because Congress does not work like his business, shreds individuals loudly and publically. Instead of taking the time to learn how Congress works and what HE needs to do he turns on them. He supports something one moment then turns around and changes his mind the next. He wants Congress to repeal ACA but won’t go around selling it to the people beyond his own solid base. Tax reform....what a joke. It has something like 25% (?) public support....and is a partisan vendetta attacking blue states and higher ed. And...the Democrats were deliberately excluded and it was passed through a budgetary process not normal legislation where what are likely going to be huge problems to later could have been caught by a more thorough and careful approach that such a huge bill needs. Now before you jump up and say but the ACA, think about this.
ACA was crafted over 18 months. It included input and advisory committees from affected industries and groups. It included ideas that Republicans themselves had espoused at one time. The Republicans were part of the process in so far as they were willing but they took themselves out. The president stumped around the country selling it...not just to his friendly base. The process was done through the normal route, not Budget Reconciliation which should not be the way to pass huge bills. Don’t look at whether the ACA was good or bad, look at the process.
Are the Dems being obstructionate? Yes, like the pubs before them. BUT we had a light in the cracks there with DACA. I always said immigration was something both sides could find common ground on. Most of us want better security, quick deportation of violent criminals and protection for those brought over as children. The Dem leadership and Trump had worked together to come up with something. It looked like a break in partisan battling.
And what happened Templer? The president suddenly and publically changed his mind. How can Dems work with a president that can’t stick to an agreement? How can anyone? Even his own party has suffered from this, having the rug pulled out from under them.
P.S. I am being a bit sarcastic because I am pissed at the political mess.
He has lost support, that would translate to lost votes.
