In a statement, a White House spokeswoman, Alyssa Farah, said, “The president is fully committed to serving a second term and building on and adding to his first-term accomplishments for the American people.”

Without starting a flame war, what are those accomplishments?

Citing Politifact's Trump-o-meter, President Trump fulfilled 19 of his 102 campaign promises, compromised on 11, and 27 are in the works.

Promises that he kept include:

  • He has renegotiated NAFTA with Canada and Mexico.
  • He has reversed an Obama-era executive order requiring Social Security benefits with mental illness to have this reflected in background checks when they purchase firearms.
  • He has accelerated funding of NATO by other member countries (while some of this increase was there before, it has accelerated).
  • He has limited the number of refugees to the United States to 30,000 per year.
  • He has raised tariffs on goods from various other countries, notably China.

    But (as mentioned in the comments) whether or not these are accomplishments or failures really depends on a) one's personal opinions; and b) long-term results. E.g. raising tariffs is a fact. Whether this should be seen as an accomplishment or not depends on for instance your committment to free market economics, and the effects on the economy for years & decades. – jamesqf Jun 18 '20 at 16:48

    For this question, I'm defining an "accomplishment" as achieving something that he intended to achieve. I'm not going to opine on whether they are positive or negative. – Joe C Jun 18 '20 at 18:49
