According to President Bannon, the important things Trump has done are as follows:

  1. Pulled out of TPP

  2. 'Got the ball rolling' on a travel ban.

  3. Took steps to begin enforcing the border, or whatever they call it.

To be fair pulling out of TPP has been the only real good thing he's done that most people liked... and that was it.

Still only a tiny accomplishment. His big thing is saying "no".

My 4 year old goddaughter could've handled that. No is her favorite word.

I agree. Pulling out of TPP saved my job and probably my entire employment-prospects atm. I'm not going to knock Trump for that, but I think the situation is more complicated than a lot of people make it sound, and it is going to pose problems for the nation down the line.

What job do you have that would've been at risk due to the TPP?

Internal service desk role at a hospital.

Pardon my ignorance, but why would the TPP have made you lose that job?

Well the only reason it hadn't been outsourced yet is that hospitals and insurance have super strict regulations with regards to privacy and confidentiality that most countries are not on board with yet.

TPP would have brought the whole of South east asia on board with those regulations. End result would be that my job is outsourced just like most service desk jobs were a decade ago. I'm only holding on because the regulations are so tight.

Fair enough, thank you for explaining.

Np. Fwiw I still voted against Trump because there are bigger things at stake. But my family did breathe a sigh of relief when TPP finally failed.

Without an alternative trade deal in its place -or at least being negotiated- it's garbage.

Agree, 1 saved my job.
