I'm 29 going on 30. Is that perhaps, old enough for you to approve or too old to write me off?

That is basically the problem, in a nutshell. You are too young to see the problem (and probably had a window seat when history was lectured in class).
In a nutshell, An american president's actions do not lead to any far reaching reactions for years. Politics is like a huge heavy machinery that just chucks along a paved road, obliterating anything in its path. Getting the machinery to even slightly turn left or right is an almost unsurmountable taks. It usually takes years for the world and the USA, in general, until the results of a president's actions are visible. Trump will be judged in ten to twenty years from now. For now, he has been profiting from his predecessors which dont seem to have done a bad job after all.
Now for your Korean thing you mention, that is some funny idea you have here. KimPingPong is doing the same spiel his family has done in the past twenty hears, and PingPong is laughing his ass off what a gullible idiot he has found on the other side.
How about those coal miners? He promised them the golden age once he is president. Guess what, at least two mines have shut down since then, miners kicked on the road. Not a single job created. How about those farmers that lost their contracts with China? China has gone to the other freak from Brasil, and the american taxpayer is paying for the lost contracts. Who care for the budget deficit that goes astronomical! Let's get a space force, costs mothing...! Will the farmers and miners vote for Trump again? Of course, he's the man....
One thing Americans should clearly understand: Trump cares for one thing and one thing only: Trump. People in Europe are puzzled how Trump likes folks like PingPong, the Turk, the Brasilian, the Russian guy. That much is certain. And Trump's weird ideas are not really appreciated by everybody else, except those guys, over here.
Will he be elected again? Of course. He has mastered the "if you constantly lie, people find you cool in the end" conundrum. Who has a chance of unseating Trump in the next election? Nobody, the democrats have made every mistake one can make if you go against a serial liar (but it definitely is a problem going against Trump, I wouldn't know a working strategy, either).
