With the Republican tax bill likely to pass this week, it's not surprising that we're starting to see some claims of, Hey, wait, Trump had a productive first year after all! See, for example, Byron York at the Washington Examiner; the beginning of this piece by anti-Trumper Jay Cost at National Review; and to a lesser extent Ross Douthat's Sunday New York Times column, which focuses on the war against Islamic State.

Don't buy these claims.
