This two-year Trump roundup from @MaxBoot (who now blocks me on Twitter) is hilarious. He concedes Trump has delivered peace and prosperity (plus tax cuts and conservative judges), then goes on to say the "costs" aren't worth it. washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-loo… 
The rest of the piece is a laundry list of purported costs, most of which will be familiar from earlier lists. The large majority of them are merely things Trump has said.
A few are purely symbolic actions, e.g., "He barred CNN correspondent Jim Acosta from the White House," "He deployed troops to the border in a political stunt."
And a few are substantive changes in immigration policy to which no substantive objection is offered--the reader is expected to regard them as facially repugnant.
My favorite of the unacceptable "costs": spelling errors in presidential tweets! I am not making this up:
My second favorite: "He can’t consistently break 40 percent approval despite a booming economy." Hmm, a booming economy for a 39% presidential approval rating doesn't sound like such a bad trade-off to me.
Then, in the concluding graf, "Even those who hate Trump can’t stop talking about him." That "even" is possibly witty.
End of rant.
