Accomplishments

I just read a piece on cnn politics about presidential language in SOTU addresses historically. One point made was that second and third SOTUs usually spend 10% of the time on accomplishments, but that trump us likely to spend more time on these.

Question: Does trump have any actual accomplishments? Seriously. Put aside our disgust and hatred. And no jokes. Has he accomplished anything that most Americans could agree on and benefit from.

I can’t think of a single one. Zero. Tax cut was s scam. No immigration reform. No military accomplishments. No international accomplishments. No medical care improvements.

Am I missing anything?

I would like to see a rebuttal that addresses every single lie.

Maybe he’ll continue to pretend the wall is getting built? Or call for a declaration of emergency, despite the fact that he claimed the wall was already being built? It would be a bad time to bring up the tax plan; many of his followers are just now doing their taxes, and realizing they got ripped off. He might scream about Venezuela, possibly even declaring war (although he'd be better off waiting until closer to the election). I’m guessing he just talks about himself and claims to have done things he hasn’t actually done.
