The South Koreans are absolutely pleased with Trump's North Korea stance, I mean look how happy they are:

Trump: "I will not pointlessly intervene!"
Republican Congress: "Nah, you gotta drop some bombs!"
Trump: "Ok, let's go to war with a nuclear country!"
Republican Congress: "Oh fuck, we forgot who we're dealing with!"

He's done some, looks great so far IMO. He's finally unblocked the pipelines, appointed a conservative Supreme Court justice, cut regulations and taxes, took a strong stance against Assad, and nullified some Obama era gun control.

Don't get me wrong, I approve of those things as well, but we have yet to see any major legislative victories. At this point we have no excuse for lacking those.

I'm happy with a few of the things he's done thus far. SCOTUS is huge for me and I'm really happy with that, and it looks likely he'll get another 1-2 picks for the court so I'm ecstatic for that. Rolling back Obama's gun control executive orders. The regulations thing seems nice on paper at least.

I was certainly expecting him to be worse.

I don't understand what you mean with this. Of course the nuclear weapons are defensive. The problem is, if they perfect them, then an invasion would be a bit more complicated.

An invasion isn't going to happen unless NK attacks first.

So Patagonia (A high-end outdoor store like REI, I think) is potentially suing over the National Monument executive order.

So are you actually siding with some Fatass with daddy issues?
The mere fact that i pissed someone off either means i stood for something or i said something offensive.

He's managed to be worse than I expected still. So much shit at once.

Even with the good, he's pretty much setting up the economy to crash again.

Still irritated about the whole SCOTUS thing.

North Korea is being North Korea. Clinton, (Bill, not Hillary,) who was fucking terrible at Foreign Policy, managed to avoid a war with North Korea. Bush, who said that "it's time for the human race to enter the Solar System," managed to avoid a war with North Korea. Obama, who failed by supporting the Arab Spring, managed to avoid a war with North Korea. What the fuck is wrong with Trump?
