=== The Trump Presidency (2017–2021) === Trump’s presidency was marked by a mix of significant policy changes, a controversial leadership style, and ongoing political turmoil. Some of the defining aspects of his administration include: ==== 1. Economic Policies: ==== Trump's economic agenda centered on tax cuts and deregulation. His administration passed the '''Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017''', which lowered corporate taxes and individual income taxes for many Americans. Trump also pushed for the reduction of federal regulations, arguing that they were stifling economic growth. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. economy experienced strong growth, low unemployment, and a booming stock market. ==== 2. Immigration and Border Security: ==== One of Trump’s most controversial policy areas was immigration. His administration took a hardline stance on illegal immigration, building parts of a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico and enacting stricter immigration enforcement policies. His '''"zero tolerance"''' policy on immigration led to family separations at the border, which sparked widespread criticism. ==== 3. Foreign Policy: ==== Trump’s foreign policy was marked by a more isolationist approach, with the slogan '''"America First"'''. He withdrew the U.S. from several international agreements, including the '''Paris Climate Agreement''' and the '''Iran Nuclear Deal'''. He also engaged in diplomatic efforts with North Korea, meeting with leader '''Kim Jong-un''' in an attempt to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, though these efforts did not yield significant progress. Trump’s administration also negotiated the '''Abraham Accords''', a series of agreements to normalize relations between Israel and several Arab nations. ==== 4. Trade Policies: ==== Trump’s trade policies were characterized by protectionism. He imposed tariffs on China, Europe, and other nations, arguing that previous trade deals were unfair to the United States. His trade war with China was a major issue during his presidency, as he sought to reduce the U.S. trade deficit and protect American industries. ==== 5. Judicial Appointments: ==== One of Trump’s most lasting legacies will likely be his judicial appointments. He successfully appointed '''three Supreme Court justices''': '''Neil Gorsuch''', '''Brett Kavanaugh''', and '''Amy Coney Barrett''', shifting the Court to a solid conservative majority. He also appointed numerous federal judges, leaving a lasting impact on the judiciary. ==== 6. COVID-19 Pandemic: ==== The final year of Trump’s presidency was dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in millions of infections and hundreds of thousands of deaths in the U.S. Trump's response to the pandemic was widely criticized, particularly for his early downplaying of the virus, his resistance to mask mandates, and the handling of federal support for states. However, the '''Operation Warp Speed''' initiative, which aimed to accelerate the development of vaccines, was seen as a major success, leading to the rapid distribution of COVID-19 vaccines by the end of 2020. ==== 7. Impeachments and Controversies: ==== Trump became the first president in U.S. history to be impeached twice. The first impeachment, in 2019, was over allegations that he pressured Ukraine to investigate his political rivals. The second impeachment, in 2021, followed the '''January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol''', when a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol in an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump was acquitted by the Senate both times.
