A Year of Shaking Things Up: What Trump Has Done in His Second Term

Trump is back in the White House, and he's not holding back. In just one year, he's made big changes that have people talking. He's cracked down on immigration, making it harder for people to cross the border and changing who gets to come to the U. S. as refugees. He's also been busy undoing diversity programs in the government and pushing companies to do the same. On the world stage, Trump has been just as active. He helped stop some of the fighting in Gaza, but he's also threatened to stop helping Ukraine. He's even sent troops into American cities and targeted drug smugglers at sea. These moves have made some of America's usual friends nervous and have put a lot of pressure on international relationships.Trump has also been shaking up the economy. He's raised taxes on imported goods, saying it will bring back jobs. At the same time, he's kept the big tax cuts for companies and rich people that he started in his first term. He's also rolled back rules meant to fight climate change and cut down on the number of federal workers. Some people say Trump is making too many big changes too fast. They point out that other presidents who made huge moves in their first year were dealing with major crises, like wars or economic disasters. But Trump says he's just doing what he promised. Politics can swing back and forth, like a pendulum. One leader makes big changes, and then the next one comes in and changes things back. It's anyone's guess what will happen next.
