He stopped penny minting. I'm sure he accidentally did one other good thing for the adage to be true
He destroyed the American Empire too, but that feels like giving Hitler credit for shooting Hitler.
But he did it in the worst possible way, with massive avoidable collateral damage.
No he didn't. The worst possible way would be to drag the rest of the western world into fascism with him, which he could've done if he'd just spaced out his horrible actions and used a bit of bureaucrat-speak to hide the full impact of what he was doing. Instead, the rest of the democratic world is forming a new economic and diplomatic structure that leaves America out.
But the penny thing is still sinister and petty. He signed the bill to put new portraits on coinage, including a woman on the penny. Then he destroyed the penny so there still would only be men on coins.
Don't tell him there's been women on the $1 coin since 1979, and recently themed seasonal quarter reverses that alternate between illegible and just overly busy.
Bad reasoning, good outcome.
