Trump completes six months in White House, calls US 'most respected country'
Time flies! US President Trump said as he celebrated the six-month anniversary of his second term. He also called the United States the "hottest" and "most respected country anywhere in the world." In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump praised his leadership and claimed he had turned the country around in just half a year."Wow, time flies!" he wrote. "Today is that Sixth Month Anniversary of my Second Term. Importantly, it's being hailed as one of the most consequential periods of any President."advertisementHe said that six months is "not a long time to have totally revived a major Country," and that just a year ago, "our Country was DEAD, with almost no hope of revival." According to him, the US is now doing better than ever. "Today the USA is the 'hottest' and most respected Country anywhere in the World," Trump added. His celebratory message comes amid poll results showing that many Americans disapprove of his performance so NUMBERS DROP OUTSIDE GOP BUT TRUMP REMAINS CONFIDENTAlthough Trump painted a glowing picture of his presidency, public opinion paints a more complicated story. According to Decision Desk HQ, about 52.7% of US adults disapprove of the president's performance, while 44.6% approve. A separate poll from The Economist/YouGov reported that Trump's disapproval rating is currently the highest it's been since his second term approval on immigration, one of his key issues, has also dropped. A Reuters/Ipsos poll showed only 41% of Americans approve of his handling of immigration policies. That's down from 43% in June. The same 41% also said they approve of his overall performance as president—the lowest reading of his second so, Trump remains upbeat about his support within the Republican Party and among his base. In another Truth Social post, he wrote, "My Poll Numbers within the Republican Party, and MAGA, have gone up, significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax was exposed by the Radical Left Democrats and, just plain 'troublemakers.'"He claimed support among Republican voters was as high as 95% in some polls. "They have hit 90%, 92%, 93%, and 95%, in various polls, and are all Republican Party records. The General Election numbers are my highest, EVER! People like Strong Borders, and all of the many other things I have done. GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAGA!" he comments also come shortly after he directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release grand jury records tied to the Jeffrey Epstein case. The decision followed growing pressure to uncover more details about the financier's alleged crimes and his connections to powerful individuals.- Ends
