OK that’s not a well thought out response. So if Trump launches a nuclear war, or tanks the economy, or deports all Muslims &c, that’s fine as long as he meets these 3 criteria?!
I am trying to list criteria by which to evaluate any president. I am not trying to set up Trump to fail—else I could just have “appoint a liberal Justice”.
Certainly, I’d agree that Trump would be a failure (nay, THE failure) if the world ends in nuclear fire. It sort of seems like at that point we don’t need itemized lists though?
I don’t buy that presidents can affect the economy in a big enough way to tank it. At least, none that I’ve seen have done so. Grading a prez on what the econ does feels like grading him on the weather.
I wouldn’t have a problem with deporting all illegal immigrants. All Muslims, on the other hand, would involve deporting a lot of Americans. I’m not sure where you’d deport them too? But, sure, I’ll certainly agree that deporting American citizens would be grounds for failure.

I was exaggerating a bit—but I am sure you agree that your criteria are too few and unimportant to judge a whole presidency...
