OK... LETS THINK about that... Donald Trumps SUCCESSES in his 2nd term:

Border & Immigration Enforcement

• Illegal border crossings dropped sharply after new enforcement policies and asylum restrictions were implemented. Independent tracking sites reported border apprehensions down roughly 90%+ compared with peak Biden-era levels.
• Expansion of deportation and detention efforts.
• Restarting or expanding border wall construction and tougher cartel enforcement initiatives.

Inflation & Wages

• Inflation slowed from the highs seen in 2022–2023, though economists debate how much credit belongs to Trump versus Federal Reserve policy and longer-term trends.
• Real wages (pay adjusted for inflation) increased according to several economic trackers.

Stock Market & Investment

• Stock indexes reached new highs during much of 2025–2026.
• The administration announced large U.S. manufacturing, AI, semiconductor, and energy investment commitments.

Energy Production

• Expansion of oil, LNG, and domestic energy production.
• Reduced environmental regulations to speed drilling and infrastructure approvals.
• Supporters describe this as “energy dominance.”

Tax & Spending Policies

• Congressional Republicans passed legislation extending or making permanent portions of the 2017 Trump tax cuts.
• Efforts to reduce parts of the federal bureaucracy and cut certain federal programs.

Deregulation

• Large rollback of Biden-era environmental, labor, DEI, and regulatory policies.
• Aggressive use of executive orders to rapidly implement policy changes.

Judiciary

• Continued appointment of conservative federal judges and appellate court nominees.

Foreign Policy

• Ended Chinese influence in Panama, & Venezuela's NARCO Terrorist empire, 
• Brokered Middle East ceasefires & agreements, and Iran no longer weeks away from Nuclear Bomb,
• Made America safer by using U.S. economic leverage to OPEN Russia & China's eyes, 
• Made world understand importance of Greenland, Socialism is NOT GOOD, and NATO is NOT a free ride.

Cryptocurrency & AI

• Policies viewed as friendlier to cryptocurrency and AI industries.
• Push to position the U.S. as a leader in AI infrastructure and digital assets.

“America First” Trade Policy

• New tariffs and pressure on foreign trading partners intended to encourage reshoring of manufacturing.
• Supporters argue this strengthened domestic industry and bargaining leverage. Critics argue it raised costs and increased trade tensions.

Crime & Public Safety Messaging

• The administration has emphasized tougher law-and-order policies and claimed reductions in some crime categories !
