I have a negative opinion of him. He ran his campaign presenting himself as an "outsider" and convincing republican voters that he's different than the corporatist, establishment, business-as-usual members of the party. Which at first intrigued me. He ran as a populist, an anti-establishment candidate who was not beholden to moneyed interests.
However, once elected, he proceeded to completely abandon every last bit of that image and has become possibly the most establishment president of the last century. Trump is solidly under the thumb of every rich corporation and every moneyed private interest that there is, from the NRA to the military industrial complex to the fossil fuel industry and more. You name the special interest group, he's taken campaign contributions from them and returned the favor with legislature they want.
