You can tank your entire presidency on a single decision. Bush JR did, relatively early into his career as well.

When the sum total of your bad decisions are as great as Bush JR or Trump, there's little you can do to negate that in the next 3 years.

Furthermore, my statement is that he is a bad president, which he is. Personal attacks on Twitter, regular vacations at taxpayer expense, deregulating climate change, pushing to remove healthcare from Americans, bad appointments. These actions are happening now and have not been rectified. Present tense, he is a bad president.

If he undoes all these things and does a couple good things, I will say "he was a bad president, then he became a good president." Currently, though, bad president.
