Why can’t the left acknowledge Trump’s successes?
Have there been issues with President Donald Trump in 2017? You bet. But there’s been some successes, too. A roundup of editorials Thursday takes a look at the issue.
Opinions from the right:
A modest suggestion: Perhaps things aren't that bad
From the National Review: We live in an incredible country blessed with wealth and caring people. Oh, and Trump hasn’t declared martial law yet.
.@DouthatNYT's column is a good reminder to those of us who are critical of Trump shouldn't be blind to his successes. Flip side: Trump loyalists shouldn't be blind to his failures. Lesson: We all struggle with motivated reasoning. https://t.co/QIpjp8Ib9d

From The Indianapolis Star: Why is 90 percent of what is reported about Trump negative?
Tax bill already results in nice bonuses for Comcast/NBC employees. I’m sure NBC folks like Joe and Mika won’t take theirs as it would mean admitting @realDonaldTrump kept promise. So I will graciously take their bonuses and those of any liberal who doesn’t want theirs.

Trump has solid record of 2017 accomplishments
From Newsmax: Sure, Trump has failings, but he’s had solid successes, too. They are the ones he’s given no credit for.
