The only one of those things that Trump can possibly claim credit for is deregulation, and the environment is going to suffer for decades as a result. If the existing gas and oil leaks, plus massive water pollution were not big enough warning signs. Deregulation is not like choosing a desert for lunch - you don't just roll a dice and choose randomly, it needs to be approached with precision. The only thing Trump is doing in that area is allowing cronies in the fossil fuel industry to profit at the expense of the American public. Don't believe me? New taxes and regulations on solar energy, the one industry that was growing massively. The one industry that was good for the planet.
As for the other things you mentioned, there hasn't been a sharp spike in progress - they have merely continued the trend that started under Obama. For Trump to claim credit is ridiculous. I will grant you that indiscriminate bombing has somewhat helped with ISIS on the battle ground, but they were already being pushed back, and again at what cost? Analysts have always said that the more innocents you kill, the more recruits you create. How will transferring these wars to the streets of OUR cities be an improvement?
If there's one area that I do generally agree, it's about the intransigence and self serving nature of professional politicians. A shake up in their lives is good, but this is the worst possible method.
