A Review of Trump’s 7 Months in Office: Accomplishments or Empty Promises?

Introduction: A Fast Start but What Was Achieved?

As of August 2025, Donald Trump has been in office for seven months. While he began with a flurry of activity, the question remains: what has he truly accomplished? A critical assessment reveals a series of questionable decisions and tactics rather than substantial progress.

Contentious Decisions and Controversial Actions

In early 2025, Trump ordered airstrikes in Iran, an action deemed illegal by many, which merely delayed Iran’s nuclear ambitions by a few months. His misplaced attempts to project strength by threatening Californians through troop deployments came off as desperate posturing rather than a genuine resolution to the state’s challenges amidst the Palisade fires. Furthermore, ongoing health concerns surrounding the 79-year-old Trump have raised eyebrows, as he appears increasingly frail, often medicated to maintain a facade of vigor.

The great state of Washington was the next state to feel the unhinged, borderline deranged wrath of the unfit current administration. He deployed troops into Washington as if they did not have law and order based off listening and watching video clips on the internet. He has clearly become disconnected due to his racist policies and outdated ways of thinking about the rapidly developing great country of America. The current administration is becoming unfit and often times viewed as stale in everything they do.

Broken Promises and Disturbing Alliances

Throughout these months, Trump has navigated an increasingly complex political landscape. His ties to controversial figures like Ron DeSantis have tarnished his reputation, and the much-anticipated Epstein files remain undisclosed due to his involvement. Trump’s attempts at negotiating a peace deal with Russia led to no agreements, as Ukrainian sovereignty was on the bargaining table. Additionally, his recent failure to address pressing issues, such as the welfare of hardworking Americans, speaks volumes about his administration’s priorities, leaving many questioning his genuine commitment to public service.

Trump’s striving to curtail mail-in voting, despite benefiting from it himself, raises concerns about his election strategies and could indicate fears regarding his viability in future elections. The backdrop of using military force in Washington, D.C., adds to the narrative of an administration grappling with legitimacy amidst growing dissatisfaction.

As we review Trump’s first seven months, it becomes evident that his tenure has been marked by more display than delivery. The ongoing struggles of his administration may signal a critical juncture for American leadership and governance.
