Overview

  • CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten declared President Trump the most influential leader of the 21st century and potentially reaching back into the last century based on recent policy shifts.
  • The effective U.S. tariff rate soared from 2 percent a year ago to 18 percent, marking the highest level since the 1930s under Franklin D. Roosevelt.
  • Net migration into the United States dropped by at least 60 percent year over year and is on track to turn negative in 2025, which would be the first net outflow in 50 years.
  • Trump has signed 180 executive orders so far this year, surpassing every president since the New Deal era in annual executive action.
  • Enten summed up the combined impact by stating that Trump is “remaking the United States of America,” a framing that has intensified debate over the administration’s direction.
