Apparently.

I think he's accomplished things. That was the question asked. Not whether I approve of which ones. Some I do approve of, some I don't. The ones I don't are significant, too.

Thanks for the insult.

Unfortunately (for the sake of advancing this country in positive ways), most everything Trump has "accomplished" will eventually get thrown in reverse when the left regains the presidency and/or the Congress (thump the tub all you want about the Democrats being dead in the water. Two years ago it was the Republicans...and we all know too freaking well how that turned out. Never say never). So instead of moving forward on issues that are in the best interests of this country's future, we going to refight the same battles, with results that will likely be different from the current ones. We're stuck. Welcome to Groundhog's Day. This is no longer George Washington's.....or Abraham Lincoln's....or even Ronnie Reagan's America any longer. Right now it's Donald Trump's America.......and that sucks for the last remnants of the American Dream......
 
A point of the atlantic article is that many of these changes cannot be reversed. They're government programs after all. And many of the changes involve lifelong appointments to hundreds of key positions.
 
I quote:

Trump may get to appoint several more justices to the high court. And in the meantime, he’s filling up lower courts with lifetime appointees. As the veteran Democratic official Ron Klain wrote recently, “A massive transformation is underway in how our fundamental rights are defined by the federal judiciary. For while President Trump is incompetent at countless aspects of his job, he is proving wildly successful in one respect: naming youthful conservative nominees to the federal bench in record-setting numbers.”

Apparently they need to fix it already though, it's leaking in places it shouldn't.....these projects should never be rush jobs just to put a feather in the economic cap

They weren't on pause. The N Koreans blew up ever increasing in size nuclear bombs during the Obama administration (and W, too).

An examination of the Pentagon’s disruption effort, based on interviews with officials of the Obama and Trump administrations as well as a review of extensive but obscure public records, found that the United States still does not have the ability to effectively counter the North Korean nuclear and missile programs. Those threats are far more resilient than many experts thought, The New York Times’s reporting found, and pose such a danger that Mr. Obama, as he left office, warned President Trump they were likely to be the most urgent problem he would confront.

Iran Still on the Hunt for Nuclear Weapons Technology Across Germany

Startling new evidence from German intelligence reports shows the Tehran regime is working to illegally obtain technology and know-how to advance its nuclear weapons and missile programs, despite the 2015 agreement to curb its nuclear program.

A report from the state of Hamburg holds that “there is no evidence of a complete about-face in Iran’s atomic polices in 2016” [after the Islamic Republic signed the JCPOA deal with Western powers in 2015, aimed at restricting Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief]. Iran sought missile carrier technology necessary for its rocket program.”

...

Iran’s illegal procurement and terrorist activities are cited 49 times in the report and range from cyberwarfare to espionage to support of the EU- and U.S.-classified terrorist organization Hezbollah.

The Baden-Württemberg report provides detail on Iran’s development of ballistic missiles with the aid of a Chinese front company. A Chinese import-export business approached a company in the southern German state that manufactures “complex metal producing machines” to buy equipment.

Berlin’s Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control requested an end-use receipt for the Iranian purchase. The intelligence agency informed the engineering company that the merchandise was set to be unlawfully diverted to Iran. “This case shows that so-called indirect-deliveries across third countries is still Iran’s procurement strategy,” wrote the intelligence officials.

A third intelligence report from last month, from another German state, says that in 2016, “German companies located in Rhineland-Palatinate were contacted for illegal procurement attempts by [Pakistan, North Korea and Iran]. The procurement attempts involved goods that were subject to authorization and approval on account of legal export restrictions and UN embargoes. These goods, for example, could be used for a state’s nuclear and missile programs.”
