(Please note - all claims by President Trump himself to have done/not done things do not count).
Gcomeau and his fellow leftists hate Trump beyond all reason, blame him for everything and believe every anti-Trump conspiracy theory out there.
Re the economy - the economic impact on the day to day economy is a lagging indicator. So with jobs etc most of that would be attributed to Obama not Trump. And frankly in spite of the spin it's not doing wonderful. But the stock market is a forward looking indicator with a large amount of it being driven by what investor's think will be coming in Trump's economy. In general toward the end of Obama investor's were optimistic (2014 S&P 500@ 12%, 2015 it was flat (trying to stay away from the effects of the 2016 election so skipping 2016)) but it's 20% with Trump so far.
He is getting deserved blame for his obnoxious personality. However the I hate Trump frothing at the mouth crowd exaggerates it. This includes the media which has lost all objectivity. It's best to read the Twitter feed directly that way you see all statements good and bad. The media has been exaggerating the bad and minimizing the good (which seems to be hurting them as much as him but they hate him too much to be objective).
Re Mueller He deserves Trump's attacks. He made some very poor judgment calls on his staff. 9/15 are avowed Hillary supporters. And a couple of them were frothing at the mouth I hate Trumpers. Not good optics. He is also an establishment guy and establishment Republicans hate Trump.
Re the FBI Trump has been a strong supporter of law enforcement especially the officer on the street. His attacks on the FBI have been reserved for the political top of the organization. The cadets responded positively to his speech. So they seem to be willing to accept that.
Re ISIS Trump is getting deserved credit for their defeat. Primarily because he knew he didn't have a clue and got out of Mattis's way. If more presidents did that we'd be a lot better off.
As a general theme Trump deserves a lot of the critism he gets but doesn't deserve the intensity of it. The I hate Trump crowd is so obviously irrational, they hurt their own cause because there is a lot that Trump can be legitimately blamed for but when they look like biased deranged lunatics it doesn't come across well.
