By: Gary Spencer

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The years of Donald Trump’s first term as President of the United States were marked by unprecedented political and social upheaval. Emerging from the realms of business and reality television, Trump’s ascent to the highest office in the land was as unconventional as it was polarizing. His campaign, driven by the slogan "Make America Great Again," resonated with a significant portion of the American electorate who felt disenfranchised by the existing political establishment. The promises of sweeping changes in immigration policy, trade agreements, and economic revitalization struck a chord with those seeking to challenge the status quo.

Upon taking office, Trump’s administration was characterized by a series of bold moves and controversial decisions that often sparked intense national and international debate. His tenure saw significant policy shifts, particularly in areas such as healthcare, tax reform, and foreign policy. The attempt to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, the implementation of sweeping tax cuts, and the renegotiation of trade deals were pivotal moments that defined his economic agenda. Meanwhile, Trump's foreign policy, marked by a withdrawal from international agreements like the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran Nuclear Deal, signaled a departure from traditional diplomatic norms.
