I can't give you a definitive yes/no answer on this, since it's fundamentally a matter of political opinion and values—reasonable people look at the same facts and reach very different conclusions about what counts as "improving" government. What I can do is point you toward some current, factual context on his administration's actions and their effects, and let you weigh the evidence yourself. Sh

Let me search for current, credible data on this. Short answer: No, not in terms of actual documented fraud — but there's a big gap between the data and public perception.

No, or yes—depending on one's priorities, values, and metrics—but the overall public and historical verdict so far leans negative, with significant achievements overshadowed by major shortcomings. "Good president" is inherently subjective. Evaluations differ sharply by party, ideology, and what one prioritizes (e.g., legislative output and alliances vs. inflation control, border security, and exec
