Does Trump earn a passing grade for his first year as president?

Hate him or love him, President Trump had a busy first year. There were times when he was firing on all cylinders and others where it appeared like the White House was in total and complete chaos.

There have been very few presidencies, at least in my lifetime, that have had as many peaks and troughs as President Trump in his first year. President George W. Bush’s first year in office is the closest comparison, simply because of the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001.
