WASHINGTON D.C. — BREAKING CNN stuns the world saying: “Trump is the most influential President of this century and probably dating back good portion of last century” DEMOCRATS HAVE OFFICIALLY LOST CNN HOLY SH*T
Video transcript The Donald J. Trump.
Media analysts and political scientists are examining Trump’s policy legacy as his administration reshapes key national sectors. His signature policies on tariffs, a sharp drop in net migration, and extensive use of executive orders have bypassed traditional legislative routes. These maneuvers represent a significant shift in U.S. governance and long-term political culture.

Video transcript The Trump administration is arguably the most influential this century and probably as well dating back a good portion of the last century as well. Love it, like it, or lump it, Trump is remaking the United States of America. Let’s talk about tariffs first, right? There’s all this talk that Trump always chickens out when it comes to tariffs. Not so for Trump. The effective tariff rate, get this, it’s 18%—the highest since the FDR administration in the 1930s, up from just 2% last year. We’re talking about a level, an effective tariff rate level, get this, nine times as high this year than last year. But it’s not just on tariffs, which of course Trump ran on and which you’re seeing as a tremendously influential presidency. What about immigration? Of course, Trump ran and has always run on a very hawkish immigration platform. Get this: 2025 net migration in the United States down at least 60% from last year. In fact, we may be heading for the first time in at least 50 years in which we have net negative migration into the United States. And last year, of course in 2024, the net migration in the US was 2.8 million. This year, we might be talking about negative net migration. My goodness gracious. Now, of course, this is part of a larger story, as I was mentioning. We’re talking about immigration, net migration, we’re talking about the effective tariff rate. But get this, how is Trump doing it? Well, he is signing a ton of executive orders. Get this: 180—the most in a year since Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Oh my goodness, you have to go back to the first half of the 20th century, the last century. And to make a comparison, Joe Biden signed, get this, just 77 during his entire first year. And we’re only a little bit into August so far. And Trump making history with 180 executive orders signed so far this year. So that’s why I said that in my mind Trump is the most influential president of this century and probably dating back a good portion of the last century. That is because he is remaking the country in terms of tariffs, he is remaking the country in terms of net migration, and he is remaking the country in terms of how much policy changes he’s putting through in executive orders. As I said, it truly is history making. Love it, like it, or lump it.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
