Trump's Summer Surge: Wins at Home and Abroad Mark a Golden Moment for the President

 

President Donald Trump is entering the Independence Day holiday riding a wave of political momentum, as recent victories in foreign policy, immigration, trade, and the Supreme Court have given the White House a powerful tailwind. The string of achievements has emboldened Trump’s allies and further solidified his grip on the Republican Party as Democrats continue to struggle with internal divisions and an unclear message.

 

“President Trump is delivering win after win for the American people, and we are the hottest nation in the world,” said White House spokesperson Liz Huston. “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill is going to pass, Iran’s nuclear capabilities are obliterated, the stock market is at record highs, the border is the most secure it’s ever been, and the Supreme Court just ended nationwide injunctions that were being abused to halt the rest of the America First agenda. Thanks to President Trump — the Golden Age of America is here.”

 

The momentum has been building steadily since June 21, when Trump ordered strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites. Though the move initially drew skepticism from both Democrats and some Republicans concerned about escalation in the Middle East, it appeared to yield results. The strikes were followed by a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran that has held for a week—an unexpected breakthrough that Trump’s allies hailed as proof of his strategic prowess.

 

“He’s had the best seven to 10 days of his presidency of either term,” said Republican strategist Ford O’Connell, pointing to foreign policy accomplishments, including the strikes on Iran, growing NATO commitments, and a potential Gaza ceasefire, as particularly impressive.

 

Trump further boosted his foreign policy credentials with a successful appearance at the NATO summit in the Netherlands. There, member nations agreed to increase defense spending, a long-standing demand of Trump’s. NATO’s secretary-general publicly credited the president with pushing the alliance toward a more equitable financial burden.

 

On Tuesday, Trump announced that Israel had agreed to a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and urged Hamas to accept the terms. If finalized, the agreement would mark yet another diplomatic win for Trump, though a lasting peace remains elusive.

 

Trade policy also swung in Trump’s favor this week. Canada walked back its plan for a digital tax aimed at U.S. tech companies, a reversal the White House credited to Trump’s pressure. “Canada caved,” said press secretary Karoline Leavitt, referencing the president’s threat to suspend trade talks. Trump also unveiled a framework for a trade agreement with Vietnam, potentially paving the way for broader deals ahead of his July 9 deadline for new tariffs.

 

Domestically, Trump scored a legal victory when the Supreme Court curtailed the use of nationwide injunctions by lower courts—an important limitation for an administration that frequently clashed with the judiciary. The decision represents a partial win for Trump’s long-term effort to reshape immigration policy, including controversial moves to narrow birthright citizenship.

 

Meanwhile, the president’s signature issue—border control—reached a milestone. U.S. officials detained just over 6,000 migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in June, marking a historic low. The numbers, first reported by CBS News, provide a major talking point for Trump ahead of November.

 

The final piece of Trump’s current surge could come in the form of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a sweeping tax and spending package that includes key elements of his economic and immigration agenda. The bill, which extends Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, eliminates taxes on tipped wages, and boosts border security funding, passed the Senate and now awaits final passage in the House.

 

Though some Republican lawmakers have raised concerns over its impact on the deficit, Trump’s allies believe it’s only a matter of time. “Big day today. Hopefully we get this thing worked out,” said Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) after meeting with Trump and other conservatives at the White House. “The president answered all our questions, was very informative. JD Vance was there. This was a very good day.”

Here we go again. Rinse and repeat the horrendous bill with tax cuts that have shown during Reagan and Bush's presidency to increase the national debt, widen the income gap and did nothing to stimulate the economy. Insanity is keep doing the same thing. Blue wave mid-term is the constant.

Billionaires now get huge tax cuts that are permanent. Lower and working class people lose. And middle class people get a small tax cut that is temporary, unlike the one for the billionaires.

Damn Tug - You miss commenting on all the things that you just can't come up with anything to make sense but never pass up a chance for a shot at Trump.  This makes no sense either.  Trump is a real winner.  Right now has the highest approval of any President on record for the first 5 months in office.  Even better than Reagan.  With the big just pass, the American taxpay will not only NOT see their taxes go up $3900 but will save another $3800 or $7700 for the average tax paying family.  You Marxist Leftist think government can spend my money better than I can.

Thanks to Trump and his House minions, the Bill has given the Democrats a new lease of life and a powerful message to bring to the people for mid-term. The Bill is already immensely unpopular with the majority of people and it will hand like an albatross around the Republican necks heading to the mid-term.

No tax on social security. Whats not to like?

[Screaming]

I do not know of any other President that has won as much as President Trump. I really think they should add him to Mt. Rushmore. Possible put Trump on the twenty dollar bill instead of Tubman. President Trump will go down in history as one of the greatest.

I consider Trump, my president, to be despicable.

Knew you would be first to downplay the news on Trump. Bet you never even bothered to look at how the Bill will affect taxpayers. 

Your constant trolling negatively without information is endless. Destruction of our education system haha... It was destroyed when the schools began compromising the laws to lure foreign students money into their schools. Allowing violence without concern for the average student there to learn. I think it is you that needs to come to your senses. Seems you like and approve of the violence and the illegals and everything the way the US was. Let the illegal criminal rapist go free so he can find your home and attack your family. Or the riots over HAmas happen on your front lawn. You speak without thought of it these things really happened in your neighborhood. Let the school that teaches your daughter to go to Pakistan and become a terrorist for them. Or perhaps you would let your daughter bring those terrorist into your home to teach your family and your child what to do rather than in an educational institute.

Here is how the Bill will affect taxes straight from the companies that file your taxes in the US. 

One Big Beautiful Bill New Tax Law Changes for your 2025 tax return

Most of the changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill take effect on January 1, 2026, but some are retroactive and could impact your 2025 tax returns that you file in 2026.

Changes that might affect the most common 2025 tax returns include:

no tax on tips

no tax on overtime

increased Child Tax Credit

additional senior deduction

partially refundable adoption credit

increased state and local tax (SALT) itemized deduction

deduction for interest payments on certain vehicles

Trump savings accounts for children

end of the Electric Vehicle Credit as of September 30, 2025

increase in the standard deduction

Additional items included in the bill mostly having an impact on businesses include:

restoration of expensing of certain R&D costs

business interest deductions moving back to the EBITBA standard

100% expensing for certain manufacturing structures (temporary)

If they stopped squabbling about Trump and started planning for the next election they might stand a chance.  But it seems they can't stop moaning about Trump. That makes Trump the most dangerous leader of the Republican party ever.

He created thousands of federal law enforcement jobs! The bill creates a formidable law enforcement agency ,ICE.

The dems call it the Gestapo! 

 

"We got over 600,000 illegal aliens with criminal histories walking the streets of this country. We got less than 5,000 deportation officers," Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, said Thursday at the White House.
