"This is what 'America first' looks like. The last year has been phenomenal. He has done more in one year than most presidents would accomplish in a whole term."
"He stands at a moment of rapidly declining political capital. From a historical perspective, a president in year six, heading into what looks like a rough midterm, is probably not going to rise any higher again, in terms of their political equity - so he's probably past his peak of power."
"Trump is in about as weak a position as any president heading into a State of the Union address in recent memory."
President Trump delivered a State of the Union address while navigating significant political challenges. His approval ratings have declined substantially, support for his immigration policies has weakened, and economic growth remains sluggish. International tensions continue to mount while the Epstein files rollout creates additional pressure. Despite these obstacles, Trump maintains strong support among his base and party loyalists who credit him with substantial accomplishments. However, political analysts identify Trump as operating from a position of declining political capital heading into midterm elections. Republican and Democratic strategists alike characterize his current standing as historically weak for a president at this stage, suggesting his political influence may have peaked.
