Is there ANYTHING that Trump will NOT get credit for for the next 4 years

It seems like every single time a manufacturer decides to bring jobs back to US/keep (some) jobs here, it's because of Trump. Now, it appears that whenever Republicans seemingly back down on something, it's because of Trump. What next will he be (rightly or wrongly) given credit for?

A The UAW negotiated a contract with Ford to preserve or create 8,500 jobs and to spend 9 billion on its US plants. After they cheer trump, throw this at them and say, yup it was the unions who made this happen in 2015. Under an Obama presidency. Aren't you just as glad that this happened in 2015?

shove it down their throats that trump had absolutely nothing to do with this.

with each new appointment more outrageously bad than the last. He's riding high on spite.

When the organizational tree starts to bear rotten fruit, none of it will be claimed by him. So no, he'll try to bluff and bluster his way through the next four years, strutting and preening over everything good he was handed and trying to get people to ignore his own blundering.

In that case, Obama will get credit for everything negative that will happen in the next four years.

The less friends he has, the shorter the stay.

I'm sure they are like him - "love the members, don't give a shit about the guests." We all know Corrupt Trump is just a visitor.

"Me, me, me" is not a political party.

Look at CNN giving him credit for the GOP backing off gutting the ethics dept, and ford motor company not moving jobs which was announced in April. No the media will not report the truth and pump up the orange hitler.

I don't think this country will survive even the next 4 years, everything that helps regular people will be eliminated and the media will say"it's not so bad you'll survive". They will be scared of being attacked they will fall in line. Civil unrest will increase with each outrage. I see the thin skin one having the government attack protesters. DAPL was a training operation.
