It’s been six months since former President Trump inaugurated what he deemed the “Golden Age of America,” marking the start of his second term. Despite a steady wave of criticism, Trump’s administration has stacked several achievements that have left the opposition gasping for air. One can almost feel the frustration radiating from the other side of the aisle.
First on the list of accomplishments is the hefty legislation dubbed the “big beautiful bill,” which Trump finally signed. This legislative masterpiece stands as a testament to his unwavering resolve to get things done. Meanwhile, tariffs have brought in $100 billion, and illegal border crossings have plummeted to all-time lows. Even the skeptics might have to pause and ponder.
The immigration situation is a hot topic, and while some Democrats seem irked by the approach, the numbers paint a picture of success. There have been two consecutive months without any illegal aliens released into the country. It’s almost like the administration found a magical solution, much to the dismay of those who thrive on chaos at the border. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass might be clutching her pearls, calling the measures “punitive,” but it appears that the measures are working quite effectively, perhaps as a necessary deterrent.
In terms of foreign affairs, the administration has been busy on the global stage. Ending wars between India and Pakistan while pushing hard to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the administration is flexing its peacekeeping muscles. It’s worth noting that such victories often keep the keyboard warriors busy spinning tales of doom, but so far, the victories speak for themselves.
Finally, the economy seems to have found its groove. Inflation is lounging comfortably at 2.1% annually, and despite any naysayers, the economic machine appears to be purring smoothly once more. While some may dismiss poll numbers, focusing instead on tangibles like these leaves the Democrats in a bit of a quandary. The numbers don’t lie, and if the Golden Age continues at this pace, it may be hard to continue painting these policies as anything less than a dazzling, albeit begrudging, success.
