On Sunday, President Donald Trump commemorated the half-year milestone of his second term with a triumphant message on his social media platform, asserting that his administration has been "one of the most consequential" in presidential history. "Time flies! Today marks six months of my second term. The key takeaway is that it’s being recognized as one of the most consequential periods of any presidency," Trump posted on Truth Social.
In his message, the president boasted that within just six months, his leadership has achieved “many good and great things,” including the conclusion of "numerous wars in countries not directly linked to the U.S., except through trade or friendship." "Last year, our country was dead, with almost no hope for recovery. Today, the United States is the hottest and most respected nation worldwide," he declared.
In a subsequent post, Trump emphasized his increasing popularity within the Republican Party and among MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters, claiming record-high approval ratings. "My numbers in the Republican Party and among MAGA have surged since the radical left Democrats and agitators exposed the Jeffrey Epstein hoax. They've reached 90%, 92%, 93%, and 95% in various polls, setting records for the party," Trump stated.
He also mentioned that his approval ratings for the general election are "the highest of his entire career," attributing this support to his strict border policies and other actions taken during his presidency. "God bless America. MAGA!" concluded the president in his post.
A stringent immigration policy has been a cornerstone of Donald Trump's second term, featuring a series of measures aimed at increasing detentions and accelerating deportations. His administration has reintroduced electronic surveillance technology as part of an intensive deportation campaign, particularly targeting migrants who have lost asylum cases or have pending criminal records.
Trump has also unveiled plans to construct five new mega detention centers, which would expand the federal system's capacity to hold individuals facing deportation. According to the government, these facilities will enable "faster, more efficient, and deterrent" policies.
Legislative changes have played a crucial role in this direction. In early July, a new regulation was enacted that allocates specific funds for detention and deportation operations, including additional resources for transportation and surveillance. This legislation was pushed alongside a comprehensive package of tax cuts and public spending reductions, championed by Trump as a "great and beautiful law" that reorganizes federal priorities around security and immigration control.
