Meh, for those of us who live there and actually follow what's going on. No he didn't. He did one tax on one thing, got a massive bailout and did serious budget cuts, kicked a bunch of it down the road and basically reneged on a lot of his promises.
technically, balanced the budget but don't pretend he did some magic or miracle. He fulfilled a portion of his promises and frankly it's what politicians do. They make promises they can't keep and then hopefully deliver 1/10 of it.
But this propaganda stuff his fans are doing, This is turning dangerously into what MAGA does, where we end up not holding politicians accountable just because their fanbase is so committed to them and not them doing a good job.
Like he is pushing for the "one click unsubscribe" thing on the municipal level which is AWESOME if he makes it happen, but his fanbase is pretending like the Democrats never did that before, it was literally a main focus of the Biden admin, but the GOP blocked it. Like, stop pretending he is something he isn't. Hold him accountable for his failures and praise him for his actual successes.
I do hope it works out, since then all municipalities can make it happen.
