Is Donald Trump improving the US government?

Declines to answerSays it is contested

I don't have a simple yes/no answer to this, since it's a genuinely contested political question where reasonable people disagree based on different values and priorities.

What I can do is discuss specific, factual aspects of his policies and actions if that's useful to you:

•Specific policy areas (economy, immigration, foreign policy, regulations, etc.)

•Particular actions or decisions and their documented effects

•How different groups (economists, legal scholars, etc.) have assessed specific initiatives

•Comparisons of statistics or outcomes before/after specific policies

Evaluating whether the government is "improving" overall depends heavily on what someone values—smaller government, particular policy outcomes, institutional norms, economic indicators for different groups, etc. People with different priorities can look at the same facts and reach different conclusions about whether things are moving in a positive direction.

If you have a specific area you're curious about, I'm happy to dig into the facts and different perspectives on it. What's on your mind?
