These statistics seem impressive on the first look and I guess some issues are benefical and triggered by Trump. The problem with such a list is, that all negative issues are missing.

But a bigger problem is that you need to check causality and see the raw data.
For instance regarding poverty rate...it seems that started already declining on 2015 under Obama with 1.3 % (highest drop)

I would not look so much on the data and statistics which depicts the last 4-8 years. Often these figures are not really influenced by the current responsilbe persons or government because decisions usually need time to get reflected.

The figures next year will be much worse due to the Corona mismanagement by Trump's government (and some states).

And just to take the health care system as an example: It is nice and good that for instance HIV treatment is provided for all....but the main issue is only solved if all citizens get a health insurance. That the health system of the US is quite ineffective (not concerning the quality of treatment but the ratio spending/benefits) and more expensive than typical European systems, although they provide a health insurance usually for all of their people.
