Mark Blyth has an interesting take on this. its from the Q&A after a lecture on Global Trumpism in 2019, but its as relevant now as it was then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGuaoARJYU0&t=4795s If you have time the whole thing is worth watching.

I am no Trump supporter, in fact I consider him a corrupt pig of the worst kind, BUT I was challenged by a Trumpist recently to say 1 good thing about his presidency. I gave him 3. 1) He didn't start a new war, as in he didn't deploy America to a new theatre, even though he came close and was urged on by people like John Bolton. Also he failed to end Afghanistan. 2) He tore up NAFTA which just wasn't working although how he went about it wasn't good. Yes it needed to be renegotiated or replaced but he didn't need to give Canada the finger or call Mexicans rapists. 3) He proved beyond all doubt that if the political establishment takes their position for granted they can get their butts kicked right out the door into the gutter. This is maybe the one truly great thing he did and its been needed to smack the establishment parties EVERYWHERE out of their ignorant arrogant drug induced alcohol fuelled haze. I'd list his bad things but I don't have 3 weeks to spare let alone 3 months.

Go watch Kyle Kulinski and other left commentators talk about him. They savage him every time he pops his head up and for the lack of stuff he got done. Particularly when he had a super majority.
