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.

Trump's successes have been underreported

From The Indianapolis Star: Why is 90 percent of what is reported about Trump negative?

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.
