After a year of aggressive policy moves, President Trump is more assertive than ever, wielding extensive presidential power and reshaping America's global relations. His actions have polarized the country further, even as he confronts potential Republican setbacks in upcoming congressional elections.

Despite high inflation rates posing challenges, the president maintains that the economy is healthier than ever. Trump's tendency to dismiss institutional checks, focusing instead on personal judgment, has sparked widespread debate regarding his governance approach and broader implications for U.S. leadership.

As Trump embarks on frequent nationwide tours to promote his economic agenda and gain voter support, his speeches lack coherence, reflecting an overarching foreign affairs focus. Republican strategists remain cautious, worried about voter perceptions of Trump's handling of the domestic economy.
