Despite political challenges, Donald Trump began his second term with a focus on issues affecting everyday Americans, including housing, ending foreign wars, and prioritizing America first. The author, who interned in the Trump White House during his first term, highlights the administration's evolution and commitment to addressing the nation's pressing concerns.
President Donald Trump gestures to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts after being sworn in as president during the 60th Presidential Inauguration in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Monday, Jan. 20, 2025. Political persecution. Assassination attempts. Pathetic polling. Yet despite the political headwinds, we watched Donald Trump take the oath of office for a second time. A renewed sense of hope washed over me as he said, “I do solemnly swear.
It is my hope that this new federal leadership will tackle the challenges that Americans face each day. Challenges like the cost of living, housing and inflation. Luckily, these struggles are not just top of mind for the American public; they are priorities for the new administration. With Trump’s America First policy agenda, we will no longer be spending billions of taxpayer dollars on far-away, foreign wars. The federal government has spent our hard-earned money on wars for far too long, yet Maui still sits in ruins. North Carolinians are running out of FEMA funds, but Ukraine is well funded with American-supplied weapons. President Trump has vowed to redirect this critical funding to those who are actually footing the bill: Americans.
The next four years will bring change — and probably some growing pains — but I believe we will look back at this period as the start of the Golden Age of America.
