Six Months In: Trump Celebrates Revival of ‘Hottest’ Country In The World

President Donald Trump struck a victorious tone on Sunday as he marked the first six months of his second term.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump alluded to some of his accomplishments on the foreign policy and tariff fronts since returning to the White House after defeating then-Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

“Wow, time flies! Today is [the] Sixth Month Anniversary of my Second Term. Importantly, it’s being hailed as one of the most consequential periods of any President,” Trump said. “In other words, we got a lot of good and great things done, including ending numerous wars of Countries not related to us other than through Trade and/or, in certain cases, friendship.”

He added, “Six months is not a long time to have totally revived a major Country. ‘One year ago our Country was DEAD, with almost no hope of revival. Today the USA is the ‘hottest’ and most respected Country anywhere in the World.’ Happy Anniversary!!!”

Trump notched legislative victories, most notably with the recent passage of the measure he dubbed the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” that included many of his spending and tax cut goals.

JUST SIX MONTHS into President Trump’s second term, America is safer, stronger, and more prosperous.

“JUST SIX MONTHS into President Trump’s second term, America is safer, stronger, and more prosperous,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said in a post on X, marking the occasion. “We’ve cut taxes, secured the border, ignited the economy, and put America First at home and on the world stage. And we’re just getting started.”

Also on X, the White House’s “Rapid Response” account shared clips of Sunday talk show hosts remarking on the whirlwind of events during the first half year of Trump’s second term.

“The state of our union is thinking, ‘Wow, a lot can happen in just six months,'” declared CNN’s Jake Tapper. “Today marks half a year since President Trump took office, again — and already, his second term is shaping up to be even more consequential than his first. The president has followed through on promises to ramp up deportations, impose tariffs, target his political enemies — including the news media, reduce the federal bureaucracy, and slash U.S. aid to foreign countries.”

Martha Raddatz, co-anchor of ABC’s “This Week,” said, “Today marks six months since President Trump returned to office for his second term. It has been a head-spinning half year, from sweeping changes in the federal government, to mass deportations, and bombs dropped on Iran. The president promised changes — and there is no question he has made them.”
