Tell Me Something Good You Have Done

I am talking to the President, to the (nominal) political party he belongs to, as well as his cabinet.
Tell me one good thing. Not taking vaccines away, or making food and air and water and work more dangerous; not destroying a legacy of international relations (bloody as they have been); not attempting to destroy one of the world’s largest economy; not taking the rights of those most needing them; not bringing back child labor; not pardoning rapists and those who invaded the US Capitol; not firing thousands of people; not scaring the hell out of everyone on social security, medicare, and medicaid; not abducting, kidnapping, and imprisoning or renditioning immigrants; not refusing due process; not firing immigration judges; not undermining the separation of church and state; not ignoring the parts of the constitution you don’t like; not trying to cut solar and bring back fossil fuels; not put cronyism before the common weal; not hurt public schools by siphoning money to charter schools which do not provide a free appropriate public education; &c., &c. This is only what I came up with here on my couch without research.
Go on: tell me something — anything — good you’ve done for anyone but yourself.
