And on the seventh day, the President rested...
I think you are being ironical! :)
I read your list carefully. Whatever his successes or failures domestically, and his apparently sincere wish for peace; internationally his claims don't stack up.
Taking Venezuela's President Maduro - a legally very questionable action - but not the Maduro government; then tacitly approving that goverment by assuming Presidency-at-Distance and deriding the opposition.
Many nations saw Maduro as nasty and his presidency illegitimate, but still the business of the Venezuelans themselves.
The cocaine trade? Giving the country's oil to US companies?
I do not believe it will stop the USA's illegal cocaine imports. The drug trades thrives partly on poverty in source countries; but mainly by enough inhabitants of rich countries wanting addictive poisons. That desire is the root problem.
The US forces' approach to the alleged drug-running boats was "no questions, no arrests; shoot to kill, shoot to sink"; somewhere on thousands of square miles of open sea, so leaving no evidence.
The oil may be less valuable than Mr. Trump hopes. Although the Russians at least appear to be buying it, it is of low quality, needing a lot of expensive refining - which may be why so much is still there.
So President Trump has only created very serious questions over the future of a foreign country.
Mr. Trump cannot claim to have stopped Iran's nuclear programme. In his first Presidency he baffled and angered Iran and the USA's allies alike by unilaterally destroying the delicate international agreement limiting Iran to nuclear power only. Iran's sincerity may be questionable, but he only made the country even more anti-USA. This time he damaged the facilities, but the enraged Iranians will just repair them.
His role in the Middle East is unclear. I do not know if Americans hear reports from Palestine or only from the Israeli government, but the official US line seems Israel can do no wrong. It was Trump who encouraged the Israelis to move their capital from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem; knowing the crass insensitivity. Tel Aviv had been used for neutrality, as Jerusalem is so significant to all three Abrahamic cultures.
The flash-point of decades of simmering tension was undoubtedly Hamas' evil raid on the Israeli music-festival in 2023, and we must not forget or play down that atrocity. Nevertheless the Israeli's vicious response became no better: direct military action making the Gaza Strip uninhabitable, obstructing aid, allowing more so-called "settlers" to steal Palestinian's land and destroy their ancient olive orchards; while trying to hide this from the outside world.
The IDF might kill many Hamas men, but will harden, not destroy, the ideology. Israel has one of the world's most sophisticated intelligence and undercover services, and lucratively exports high-grade surveillance software. So could it have traced and "taken out / neutralised / cancelled" (= "murdered") Hamas leaders, followed, infiltrated, disrupted the organisation undercover, in preference to destroying Gaza?
Groups like Hamas are geurillas: not formal, uniformed, identifiable military units but civilians with ordinary civilian lives when not fighting. You are more likely to lose than win geurilla wars by blasting everyone and everything in sight.
It would be difficult for any US President to persuade the warring factions to talk, because the USA is so pro-Israel. A non-aligned country, or the UN, should broker peace talks; but that won't solve the long-term problem until Israel and Palestine can recognise each other. Hamas and its ilk thrive on them not doing so.
That[/] is where the USA [i]might help, by prodding the Israelis to stick to their 1948 border, stop the stealthy "settlement" land thefts, and respect the Palestinians. Only then might Hamas and its Iranian support become side-lined.
.......
I have just caught a brief news headline that President Trump wants the USA out of yet more international bodies and agreements, many of them UN ones, he thinks against America's interests. The nett result would likely be far more against his own nation than for it.
A strange mix of isolationism with trying to run the rest of the world.
.....
On "accountability", governments of any party in a democracy are supposed to be accountable to their citizens as a whole, not each other's party.
