I'd argue national defense and stimulating the economy (when possible) are pretty much the only responsibilities of the President. What are some of the other things it's about that Trump hasn't done?

He's royally screwed up the national defense part. He tweets threats to our enemies and constantly criticizes the countries who are supposed to be our biggest allies. Ticking off your allies is not a smart move. Especially when we might need them down the road. That just shows that the man lacks people skills. Not a good look for a president of the most powerful country on Earth.

You're also under the impression that North Korea isn't a threat to South Korea and that we shouldn't do anything about them launching missiles over our allies. How is Trump Tweeting about how that's unacceptable a bad thing? Would you also ignore a gun pointed to your head, hoping it will just go away? 

Which countries is he criticizing that don't also criticize him? I'm also curious if you have examples so I know what you're talking about.

I would put international diplomacy/foreign affairs very high on a presidents responsibilities.  How would you rate him there?

That's the funny thing about diplomacy. Obama's version of it included what many thought as respecting foreign leaders and diminishing our role in the world's affairs. How did that work? Middle eastern countries and North Korea walked all over him. Being crass and rude doesn't make you an ineffective leader. Churchill was considered a jerk, but no one would question his leadership.
