Lets ignore the fact for a second that the only reason he got 2 appointments is because McConnell was playing dirty.
One of Trump's nominations was Drunky McRapeface. Now, in theory if the goal was to appoint a conservative Judge, there was a whole list that they could have picked. Yet they happened to pick an extremely polarizing figure.
And it may have backfired on Trump and the Republicans. While there were some claims that it somehow "energized" the bigoted base of the GOP, it may have caused them more harm...

In the poll, which was conducted after last week’s Senate vote, 46 percent of voters said the Senate "made the wrong decision" in approving the controversial judge, while 40 percent said it was right to elevate him to the high court.... enthusiasm among Democratic voters has surged. More than 3 in 4 Democrats (77 percent) say they are “very motivated” to turn out and vote in the midterms — more than the 68 percent of Republicans who say they’re “very motivated.”
Granted, the Democrats were probably going to take the house anyways. But had Trump picked someone other than Drunky McRapeface for the supreme court, perhaps the Democrat's gains would have been smaller.
Was there some other Iran deal besides the good deal that Trump scuttled? You know, the one that actually had widespread support among former American allies?
Energy production was already increasing when Obama was in power.
Oh, and by the way, you know coal? The one Trump seems to love so much? Electrical production by coal has actually dropped since Trump got into office, despite all his attempts to prop up the industry.
It was doing well under Obama too. In fact, the rate of job growth actually slowed in Trump's first year in power compared to Obama's. And for the most part the Dow has been stuck fluctuating over the past few months.
Of course, the big difference is that when Obama left office, the economy was growing but the deficit was shrinking. The economy may still be growing now under Trump, but the deficit has ballooned.
True. There is the racism. Republicans gotta love the racism.
And more poor people will be without health care. That's probably gong to put a smile on republican faces. (Well, unless they were republicans who actually needed Obamacare, but they were idiots for supporting trump anyways.)
No, you should blame Trump. If he were a true leader, he'd be able to encourage congress to follow a certain legislative agenda. The fact that he's spending his time being a dumb ass means that he's not going to get the respect that he needs to actually get legislation passed.
