Trump’s First Term: A Rollercoaster Ride to a Historic Comeback

Love him or loathe him, Donald Trump’s 2017–2021 presidency rewrote the U.S. political playbook. From trade wars to TikTok bans, his unorthodox style kept the world glued to their screens like a binge-worthy drama.

Economic Shifts & Global Waves

Trump’s 'America First' policies shook up global trade, slapping tariffs on allies and rivals alike—including the Chinese mainland. While tax cuts boosted corporate profits, critics argued they widened inequality. Markets soared… until COVID-19 hit.

Domestic Drama & Culture Wars

From immigration crackdowns to social media feuds, Trump’s reign fueled fierce debates. His two impeachments (a first for any U.S. president) became defining moments, splitting public opinion like a Marvel vs. DC fan war.

The 2020 Plot Twist

After losing to Biden, Trump refused to fade into the background. Rallying supporters with claims of a 'stolen election,' he rebuilt momentum—proving his influence was far from over. Now, as he gears up for a 2025 reboot, questions swirl: Will his second term mirror the first, or surprise us all?
