Overview

  • The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, has implemented aggressive spending cuts and accountability measures, challenging the long-standing federal growth model.
  • New tariffs have prompted major corporations, including Novartis, Honda, and Eli Lilly, to announce multi-billion-dollar U.S. investments and job creation initiatives.
  • Stricter border enforcement policies have led to a dramatic reduction in illegal crossings, achieving a multi-year low at the U.S.-Mexico border.
  • The administration has launched an ambitious deregulatory agenda, dismantling the Department of Education and defunding diversity and critical race theory programs.
  • Trump’s approval rating stands at 45.3%, surpassing Biden’s 36% at the same stage, as his rapid policy implementation garners support from voters.
