I tried that earlier. I’ll try again:
What has Donald Trump done that would foster the emergence of a democratic, secular state in Iran?

In politics, the end justifies the means. (If the United States had lost the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln would not have been viewed as having been the greatest US President by most historians.) If the authoritarian government in Iran collapses and a democratic one replaces it, it will be because Donald Trump had ditched the nuclear deal, which led to unrest in Iran, which caused their government to collapse, which led to democracy.
Score 1 for Trump. How could it be viewed otherwise?
