A lot of things.
He signed 90 executive order in his first 100 days in office.
Here are seven of his (many) deadly sins.
1. Raised concern of nuclear threat with Asia
Anyone with an active Twitter account is probably up to speed with the Donald Trump vs Kim Jong-un virtual battle. President Trump has been publicly slandering the leader of North Korea, and his comments have been met with equal disrespect from Kim. However, this is not a celebrity feud, this is an uncivil exchange between two erratic men with the power of nuclear missiles under their thumbs. In an undiplomatic, unpresidential display of power, Trump has baited Kim by calling him “rocket man", "little rocket man", "madman" and "sick puppy”. As well, Trump has threatened to meet North Korea in “fire and fury”.
2. Travel Ban
On January 27th, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order that suspended U.S. entry for 90 days to immigrants from seven countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, sparking protests and legal battles across the nation.

4. Affordable Care Act Repeal
After threatening to dismantle the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Trump finally made his promise true on October 12th, 2017. Prior to this decision, roughly 20 million became insured under the ACA, 2.3 million of that being young adults who are allowed to remain
In what was seen as yet another quick, controversial, and sweeping decision, President Trump rescinded the rules on bathrooms for transgender students, in what is known as the Bathroom Ban. The rules, which protected transgender students by permitting them to use the bathrooms corresponding
Arguably the most talked about issue this season has been the recent repeal of the Net Neutrality Agreement. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) head, Ajit Pai, Republican, and
In January of 2017, President Trump gave sanctuary cities a sort of ultimatum: either comply with federal law or face a complete cut of funding. Sanctuary cities are established to aid undocumented immigrants by encouraging them to comply with police without fear of deportation. In order to hold up to their promise of unconditional protection, most sanctuary cities ignore federal law that requires them to detain an individual on suspicion of violating immigration law. The executive order claims many of the undocumented immigrants are criminals or suspected or criminal activity, and therefore pose a threat to the American people.
