Trumps Second Administration from January 2025

A. Political Foreign Policy

1. World rule of law is no longer. 

January/February 2025 Trump seeks to divide the rule of the world into three defined areas: the Americas, Europe and Asia. 

America will no longer be the world defender. Other Western countries will need to increase their defence spending. 

America wants Greenland and Canada. 

America wants Gaza to be rebuilt as a luxury resort for the rich. 

2. The US attacked Iran and purported to destroy its nuclear weapon plant in June 2025. 

International act of aggression - done at a time the parties were negotiating a treaty that he threw out in 2018 during his first term. 

3. On the 3rd January 2026, the US seized and captured Venezuela president, Nicolas Maduro, and arrested him and his wife for drug trafficking. 

The US now controls, with its expert personnel and US oil companies, Venezuelan oil. It has made an agreement with Venezuela to recommission significant Venezuelan oil fields to supply oil for the benefit of both Venezuela and America. 

Breach of international law - act of aggression or theft of assets. 

4. On the 28th of February 2026 the US attacked Iran. 

(Another breach of international law and another act of aggression). 

The Strait of Hormuz was open on the 28/02/26 and closed on the 1st of March and is still closed. 

The US has surely lost all credibility and standing in its foreign policy with the international world. 

B. Economic Policy

1. The US imposed tariffs on all goods imported into America, ranging from 10% to over 100%, from mid-2025.

Such policy simply gets money from non-Americans to reduce its debt or fund its wars. 

Such is unfair for non-American citizens who produce the goods, and inflationary and unfair for American residents who pay more for the goods. 

C. Social Policy

1. Reduced immigration and established ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency). To find and deport persons who have overstayed on their visas. 

Specifically, it is tasked with internal enforcement and deportation of individuals who violate federal immigration laws. CBP (US Customs and Border Protection) was also established to secure borders and manage ports. 

2. Reduced public spending from US$ 7 trillion to US$ 5 trillion under management of Elon Musk in early 2025. 

A total failure. Public debt in the last 18 months, from January 2025 to June 2026, has increased from US$ 36 trillion to US$ 40 trillion dollars. 

The US debt from 2016 (the commencement of the Trump first presidency) to today, 2026 (a total of ten years), the public debt has increased from US$ 20 trillion to US$ 40 trillion dollars. 

D. Conclusion 

America has deliberately created worldwide inflation and a cost-of-living crisis for poor people and families around the world to “effectively reduce the US $40 trillion dollar debt” by devaluation of its value. 

Tariffs and wars and acts of aggression against various countries also provide other states with economic and social “instability”. Such will give the US in the future the opportunity to use its military to retain law and order in states which seek its assistance. 

Sadly, America today is administered by a “kakistocracy” - a country or state run by the least qualified persons.
