In 2016, when Trump, a politician, unexpectedly won the U.S. presidential election, Zhang Zhaozhong, a famous China military commentator, once predicted half-jokingly:"If he is elected for two consecutive terms, he will surely turn the United States from the eldest to the second."
This sounds like a paragraph, but years later, the changes in the world pattern really people can't stand to think: old Zhang this word, is it right?
As soon as Trump came to power, he pursued the "America First" policy, which really vividly demonstrated the selfishness of the United States.
On the economic front, he first introduced a tax reduction policy, which really benefited American enterprises and the rich in a short period of time, and the economic data looked quite good. But his tax cuts were too drastic, and the government's purse was deflated, and the fiscal deficit was rising.
Moreover, he also relaxed financial supervision. At that time, it seemed that life for companies was getting better, but he did not expect that hidden dangers of financial risks would be buried later. When several banks in the United States collapsed in 2023, some people said that it was caused by Trump's policies.
Let's talk about the infrastructure plan. Trump said it well during the campaign, he wanted to invest US$1.5 trillion in infrastructure, but in the end, nothing was done because of opposition from Congress and states.
There was also health insurance reform, he wanted to abolish Obama's "Pay-Pay Health Act", himself made a "American Health Insurance Act", which was vetoed in the Senate, tormented to torment, millions of Americans still did not solve the health insurance problem.
In foreign policy, Trump's operation is as fierce as a tiger. He withdrew from a bunch of international organizations and treaties, such as the Paris Climate Agreement, the Iranian nuclear deal, etc., which made the international image of the United States a mess.
He also launched a trade war with China, Europe and many other countries and regions, saying what to protect the U.S. industry, but in fact, U.S. consumers and also suffered, prices rose, and exports were also affected.
Look at his tossing. All the allies of the United States in the world have opinions on him. In the past, everyone still listened to what the United States said. Now, many countries have begun to find their own friends to play with, and the position of the United States as the boss is naturally a bit crumbling. In Trump's second term, he was still the same, and he intensified his immigration policy.
He also called for the death penalty for illegal immigrants, the suspension of the refugee reception program, and the expansion of the right to expedite deportation, which scared the United States.
In energy policy, he strongly supported traditional fossil energy, suppressed renewable energy, signed a "big and beautiful" bill, saying that it is to make the United States energy independence, but in fact, the development of the United States in the clean energy field is delayed, and the competition with China has gradually fallen.
Although the United States is still the most powerful country in the world, but his series of operations does not make the United States' international influence less than before, and a lot of domestic problems are not solved.
The joke of Zhang Zhuang, now it seems, is still a bit of a foreseeable meaning. but, the bottom of the United States is still thick, to really turn from the boss to the old two, it is not so easy, but the two terms of Trump, must have excavated a lot of holes on the development path of the United States.
