Written By Former President Donald Trump left office on January 20th, 2021, after serving one term as the 45th President of the United States. His presidency was marked by controversy, polarization, and significant policy changes that impacted the country’s future.
One of the most significant accomplishments of the Trump presidency was the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which lowered the corporate tax rate, increased the standard deduction, and implemented several other tax changes. The Trump administration also oversaw record-low unemployment rates before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
Trump’s approach to foreign policy was characterized by a more unilateralist and America-first approach, with actions such as the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and the Iran nuclear deal. His administration also oversaw the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and several Arab nations.
However, the Trump presidency was also marred by significant controversies, including the ongoing investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election and the impeachment proceedings related to his efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political opponent, Joe Biden.
Moreover, the Trump presidency was marked by divisive rhetoric and actions that caused deep divisions within American society. Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic was also widely criticized, with some experts arguing that his administration’s response was inadequate and slow.
Overall, the legacy of the Trump presidency remains uncertain, and its impact will likely be debated for years to come. While the administration achieved some significant policy changes, its divisive approach and controversies may also have lasting effects on American politics and society.
