President Trump is entering the Fourth of July holiday on a hot streak, racking up wins with Supreme Court rulings, foreign policy, low border crossings and potentially a massive reconciliation bill containing key pieces of his agenda to top it all off.
The string of positive developments for Trump comes as he continues to consolidate power within the Republican Party and as Democrats struggle to unify and settle on a coherent message to criticize the White House.
“President Trump is delivering win after win for the American people, and we are the hottest nation in the world,” White House spokesperson Liz Huston said in a statement.
“The One, Big, Beautiful Bill is going to pass, Iran’s nuclear capabilities are obliterated, the stock market is at record highs, the border is the most secure its ever been, and the Supreme Court just ended nationwide injunctions that were being abused to halt the rest of the America First agenda,” Huston said. “Thanks to President Trump — the Golden Age of America is here.”
Trump allies also argued that the series of political wins underscores how the president’s second term in office has been defined more by rapid results and Trump’s own dominance, rather than infighting and chaos.
“He’s had the best seven to 10 days of his presidency of either term,” said Ford O’Connell, a GOP strategist.
O’Connell said Trump’s foreign policy deliverables — strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, increased commitments from NATO allies and a potential ceasefire between Israel and Hamas — were especially impressive.
Trump’s recent winning streak arguably began when his administration carried out strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities on June 21.
Like many of Trump’s decisions, the move drew initial skepticism from Democrats and even some GOP allies who worried the president was getting the U.S. entangled in a foreign conflict and risking escalation in the Middle East. Trump’s initial claim that the strikes had “obliterated” the Iranian facilities has also come under scrutiny.
But Trump’s strategy appeared to pay off after he announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran that has held for roughly a week.
Trump followed that foreign policy win with another when he traveled to the NATO summit in the Netherlands, where member countries announced they would increase their commitments to defense spending. NATO’s secretary-general credited Trump, who has long complained about other allies not paying more, with making the move happen.
The president on Tuesday announced Israel had agreed to conditions to finalize a 60-day ceasefire in the war-torn Gaza Strip. He urged Hamas, the militant group that governs Gaza, to take the deal. Such a breakthrough would mark yet another foreign policy win for Trump, though a lasting agreement between the two sides has been elusive.
On trade, Trump racked up another win when Canada walked back plans for a digital tax that would hit U.S. tech companies. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt touted that Canada had “caved” to Trump, who had threatened to cut off trade talks.
The president on Wednesday also announced the framework of a trade agreement with Vietnam, a potentially significant boost ahead of a self-imposed July 9 deadline to reach trade deals with other countries before imposing higher tariffs.
Domestically, Trump has also seen things go his way.
The Supreme Court last week handed Trump a victory when it stopped judges from issuing nationwide injunctions that block his executive order narrowing birthright citizenship. While the ruling does not fully settle Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship, it curtails the power of lower-level judges whom the White House has routinely attacked as “radical” or partisan.
Trump has also gotten good news on the border, which was arguably the central issue of his 2024 campaign.
The number of migrants who were detained crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally hit a record low in June at just more than 6,000, according to government data first published by CBS News.
The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a massive tax and spending package containing key parts of Trump’s agenda, could serve as icing on the cake. The Senate passed a version of the bill on Tuesday after hours of debate, sending it back to the House for final passage.
The bill would extend the tax cuts Trump signed into law in 2017, includes a provision eliminating taxes on tipped wages that Trump proposed on the campaign trail, and would provide additional funding for border security, another key aspect of Trump’s agenda.
But hurdles remain before the bill reaches Trump’s desk, and the president’s long-stated goal of signing it by the Fourth of July appears to be slipping.
There are several Republicans who have raised concerns and signaled they are not sold on the final product yet, citing issues with how the Senate version adds to the deficit. Trump and his allies expect the bill to pass in the end, arguing most House lawmakers don’t want to risk being the target of the president’s ire.
“Big day today. Hopefully we get this thing worked out,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said Wednesday after a meeting at the White House with other House conservatives. “The president answered all our questions, was very informative. JD Vance was there. This was a very good day.”
