World hunger, global literacy rates, number of people living in extreme poverty, deaths to malaria, investment in renewable energy, the hole in the ozone, homicide rates, etc.

Things going well just don't get talked about as much.

Most of those things were improved with the help of USAID, with that gone and other countries either not picking up the slack or straight up cutting their funding as well we're probably looking at the peak for most of those.

Aside from renewables and the ozone layer I expect most things you listed to backslide year after year for the foreseeable future.
