The re-tooling of the American economy, and the proof of his tariff plan has shown that he is laying effective groundwork for the next coming years.

"no progress on domestic issues" is self-defeating nonsense that sounds like it came from someone who wasn't even present for the Biden administration.
We can lament foreign adventurism, DOJ inaction, FBI negligence towards domestic terrorism, Epstein mishandling, bad messaging, lack of lockdown & Biden reprisals, slowness on election integrity, and anti-fraud ineffectiveness; without openly refusing to acknowledge where gains have been made.
If we're gonna have a real discussion on this, you have to admit that "no progress" is hyperbolic nonsense; when what you should be saying is: "progress on some things, but not enough on the stuff I would really like."
We've seen this happening on several quarterly reports so far. Real Wage growth was at 1.4% by the end of 2025. As I said, you can complain that it's not at the pace you want. But the fact that there's been almost zero real wage growth in 40 years, means that this is a major turnound in the policy of intentionally depressing American wages. That would be the adult conversation here.
The current rate of deportations will not change the long term demographics of the US, making them only useful in the short term.
For the first time since The Great Recession there is a migration outflow in the US. Again, this is not "zero progress", this a complete undoing of what every president has done for decades.
There are many simple, easy, effective measures to eject illegals, but the administration is not doing them.
There are no easy steps when the Leftists are determined to stop all of them to stay in power. They are currently trying to incite a Civil War in order to deflect from the discovery of their fraud system. Everything else has been met with direct obstruction, to lawfare, to political assassination.
Your complaint is still that the pace isn't what you want. Not that no progress has been made. The right, like always, is deathly determined to seize defeat from the jaws of victory.
The mental illness of the left is delusion. The mental illness of the right is defeatism.

Inflation handily outpaces that growth, even at Trumpflation levels, so the average American worker will simply lose a little less, not gain anything. edit: I misunderstood what you wrote. Yes, there is slight real wage growth when compared to CPI. Yet inflation in many necessary categories is well above CPI, and my other criticisms hold. This is not a transformative achievement, but only the beginning of something - if the trend continues.
If workers can even stay employed, anyway, with the premier American industry (tech) busy shipping jobs off to India, replacing continental jobs with Indians, and trying their hardest to replace everything else with AI.

For the first time, American white high school seniors are a minority at 49%. The pace of the outflow is too slow to make a difference, especially when natural born citizenship, chain migration, H-1B scabbing, passes for agriculture/hospitality, and all the other policies that made this a huge problem are still in place.
Yes, the most important metric is the proportion of American whites. Non-white American "citizens" are also a problem, not just migrants.
There are no easy steps when the Leftists are determined to stop all of them to stay in power. They are currently trying to incite a Civil War in order to deflect from the discovery of their fraud system.
And the administration is not taking any strong action against them.

I didn't say "no progress." My title stated "barely any progress." You restated what I said.
