Can anyone from the left give any policy and/or accomplishment they liked from Donald Trump's presidency? (without a "but")

I liked appointment of Jerome Powell to the Fed. I also like his appointment of Nikki Haley, and a few others.
I also felt that the operation warp speed was huge and probably saved a lot of lives.
I've done this many times. I LIKE his policy for the Middle East in general. IE: That we don't belong there and need to stay the hell out.
I was a huge fan of his push for infrastructure investment and was disappointed Republicans in congress didn’t advance it.
Also supported his suspension of payroll taxes, although that only impacted federal employees. Would have supported a break on that nationwide.
Supported his tax cuts for pass through income (I have a but here but I’ll keep it to myself for now in the spirit of the thread lol).
Pleasantly surprised.
Admittedly, he had many shortcomings. (obviously)

At the time I thought the hiring of James Mattis for Secretary of Defense was trumps best hire. Fortunately, Mattis wasn't the "Yes Man" trump expected so he resigned and trump did what he does best, he insulted him. And, FWIW, I'm neither on the left or right. I call them as I see them.
I'll even added one more. Trump and the COVID vaccine. He forced short cuts into the existing vaccination system. I thought that was a terrible idea and it worked out. He was right and we got an effective vaccine in an unheard of time. Props to him for that.
He cut the red tape, for sure. Not sold on it working out great from an R&D perspective. That's another argument.
Mattis did not agree with the POTUS in removing soldiers from Syria or Afghanistan. I get they had differences. Then we had the removal of soldiers from Afghanistan by the next president in abhorrent fashion.
For me it was Biden's biggest fvck-up. They should have gotten all the eligible civilians out first before they got the troops out instead of the other way around.
Seeing the Mattis was a decorated 4 Star general and trump was, essentially, a draft dodger, I'd probably put a little more stock in Mattis's evaluation of a military situation.
Dude... Trump is the foremost expert in the world on a LOT of things. I'm sure the military is no different:
He's sooooo ****in' full of shit it's amazing. But his disciples will believe anything he says. ANYTHING!!
When gas prices started to get out of control he actually did something about it and brought the prices down. Everyone was putting those stickers on the gas pumps forever, and then some changes were made and we came back down closer to $3 a gallon.
It's all about supply + demand. No prezident has control over the price of gas. Otherwise, they could use it as a bargaining chip at election time.
The vaccine is easily, easily the biggest accomplishment of the Trump administration. It’s not even close. Painfully ironic that it’s mostly his supporters who won’t take it.
Agreed and he can't even take credit for it without his supporters destroying him for it. 😂
Suggesting that a President has no influence over gas prices is incorrect . Of course a President can influence, but not control, gas prices. Policies do in fact matter.
I was impressed with the infrastructure bill, for the most part! Something Trump did not get done.
Done a solid job with employment. Infrastructure spending was necessary. CHIPS Act was a great piece of legislation. They’re effing it up now, but the idea was good.
I think what you really mean is he fools you into believing he cares about you as long as you'll vote for him and donate to his legal expenses. But I'll hear you out, what does the "average" person want?
Yeah, but those "concerns" are mostly fiction and created for votes due to the fear of lower educated people.
