President Donald Trump has notched a string of major victories just six months into his second term, fulfilling core campaign promises and setting the tone for America’s 250th anniversary celebration.
At the center of Trump’s domestic agenda is the “Big, Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping legislative package passed by the July 4 deadline. The bill makes tax cuts permanent, eliminates taxes on tips and overtime, increases immigration enforcement funding, and secures the southern border. Since taking office, border crossings have dropped 93 percent compared to last year, and zero illegal aliens have been released into the interior.
The economy continues to defy expectations. In June, 147,000 jobs were added, and unemployment dropped to 4.1 percent. American-born workers gained 830,000 jobs, while foreign-born employment declined. Inflation hit a four-year low, and gas prices reached a four-year low as well — nearing a 20-year low when adjusted for inflation.
Foreign policy wins include a peace deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and a successful ceasefire with Iran following U.S. strikes. NATO members have agreed to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, meeting long-standing U.S. demands.
On trade, reciprocal tariffs declared on “Liberation Day” have led to multiple new trade deals, including one with Vietnam. Investment is pouring into the U.S., including $1.4 trillion from the UAE and $500 billion each from Apple, Oracle, and Saudi Arabia.
Trump also signed executive orders affirming two biological sexes and halted federal support for radical gender ideology. The administration celebrated no Pride month, marking a cultural shift.
Other key victories include the Laken Riley Act, the creation of “Alligator Alcatraz” to process illegal aliens, reduced egg prices, record-breaking stock market performance, and regulatory wins in the courts. Trump has decisively put “America First” back into action.
