- *Legislative Actions*: Trump signed the Laken Riley Act and a continuing appropriations act, among other legislation. He also pardoned defendants involved in the January 6 United States Capitol attack and granted clemency to around 1,500 people convicted of related offenses.
- *Foreign Policy*: Trump imposed tariffs on imported goods, with a baseline 10% universal import tariff, and withdrew from various international agreements. He also banned the social media app TikTok in the United States.
- *Approval Ratings*: Trump's approval ratings have been largely negative, with polls showing a 44% job approval rating according to Fox News, and 41% according to CNN/SSRS. His polling on every issue was net negative except for border security and handling matters related to gender identity.
- *Controversies*: Trump's administration faced criticism for mass firings of inspectors general, including USDA Inspector General Phyllis K. Fong, which were deemed potentially illegal. His pardons to rioters with prior convictions for serious crimes also sparked controversy.
- *Policy Initiatives*: Trump fulfilled some campaign promises, such as expanding domestic oil production, ending federal electric vehicle incentives, and implementing a non-interventionist foreign policy. His administration also prioritized federal hiring based on qualifications and revoked certain Biden-era executive actions.
