I will give him credit for cutting the number things you can deduct (I think it is fairer policy) and reducing the corporate tax rate (he didn't have a choice we need to match foreign tax rates or business will move there). I will give him credit where credit is due. Of course he could have done it in a tax neutral way and not add a trillion dollars to the national debt. It did help to boost the stock market. I also think I can give him credit for not implementing the economic nonsense he pushed on the campaign trail. Tariffs and tearing up trade deals would send the stock market diving even faster than the job Bush did on it. So I think his biggest accomplishment after one year is not doing what he said he was going to do.
