Donald Trump, the 45th and now 47th President of the United States, remains a significant figure in American politics. Known for his "America First" policies, Trump’s first presidency (2017–2021) left a lasting impact.
Despite two impeachment trials, his influence persists. Following his victory in the November 2024 US presidential election, Trump will be inaugurated on January 20, 2025, for a second, non-consecutive term.
He has pledged to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world, a policy that has sparked both support and concern. Alongside figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump has raised concerns about Big Pharma, Big Food, and vaccine safety, positioning himself as a champion of individual freedoms.
Trump’s Stance on Immigration and Border Security
Immigration reform has been a key priority for Trump. His policies have focused on securing the southern border, expanding the border wall, and enforcing stricter immigration laws.
Supporters argue these measures protect American jobs and national security, while critics claim they harm immigrant communities and international relations. Immigration remains a polarising issue, with Trump’s position representing one side of the ongoing national debate on border security.
Climate Change and Environmental Policies: Trump vs. Biden
Trump has consistently opposed international climate agreements. While President Joe Biden re-joined the Paris Climate Agreement and made climate action central to his presidency, Trump withdrew from it, arguing such accords harmed American businesses and economic growth.
His administration rolled back several environmental regulations to prioritise energy independence and job creation. This stance sparked debate, with environmental advocates criticising these actions as harmful to climate change mitigation efforts. The contrast between Trump’s and Biden’s climate policies highlights the divide over balancing economic growth and environmental protection.
Trump’s Post-Presidency Influence on America’s Future
Even after leaving office, Trump remains influential within the Republican Party. His rallies, endorsements, and social media presence shape the 2028 presidential election conversation.
His claims of election fraud, although widely disproven, continue to influence political discourse. His second-term vision includes reforms in healthcare, immigration, and the food industry. Trump’s supporters view him as a defender of American values, advocating for economic nationalism and stronger border security. However, critics warn his rhetoric could deepen political divisions. Ongoing legal challenges may influence his future political trajectory.
Trump’s leadership will likely focus on securing the economy, strengthening border security, and challenging mainstream media. While divisive, his leadership remains a crucial force in shaping the future of American politics.
