Overview

  • The effective tariff rate has climbed from 2% to 18% under Trump, marking the highest level since the Roosevelt era.
  • Net migration to the US has declined by at least 60%, with 2025 on pace for a net outflow of residents for the first time in 50 years.
  • By mid-2025, Trump had issued 180 executive orders, exceeding any single-year total since Franklin D. Roosevelt and far outpacing Biden’s 77 in his first full year.
  • CNN analyst Harry Enten argues that these policy shifts make Trump the most influential president of this century and arguably since the early 20th century.
  • The report unifies tariff hikes, strict immigration measures and a surge in executive actions to illustrate Trump’s concentrated presidential authority.
