“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.
…
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.”

June Boom: Jobs Report Shows the Economy Continues to Soar Under President Trump
“For the FOURTH month in a row, jobs numbers have beat market expectations with nearly 150,000 good jobs created in June. American-born workers have accounted for ALL of the job gains since President Trump took office and wages continue to rise. The economy is booming again and it will only get better when the One, Big, Beautiful Bill is passed and implemented.” – White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the economy had another stellar month — with wage increases for hardworking Americans, a falling unemployment rate, and a labor market that’s once again benefitting American citizens.
•In June, the U.S. added 147,000 jobs — beating expectations for the fourth straight month.
•The April and May numbers were revised 16,000 HIGHER.
•The unemployment rate fell to 4.1% — also beating expectations.
•Native-born workers now account for ALL job gains since January.
â—¦Foreign-born employment has fallen -543,000 since January, while native-born employment has increased by 2,079,000.
◦For the same months last year, foreign-born workers accounted for roughly 48% of new jobs.
•Wages for working Americans continue to rise — with average hourly earnings up by close to 4% over the past year.
Here’s what they’re saying:
•Fox Business Network’s Cheryl Casone: “You do have a strong employment picture … we have NOT seen inflation rise. In fact, inflation has been going down and going down and going down … prices are lower than they were for July 4th last year.”
•Job Creators Network CEO Alfredo Ortiz: “Hats off to President Trump because this three-legged stool of his has really been powerful: The trade, taxes, and regulations together. It’s all about Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!”
•CNN’s Matt Egan: “This jobs market is like the Energizer Bunny. Every single time we expect it to run out of steam, it just keeps going and going.”
•Bloomberg’s Jonathan Ferro: “This is good news; much better than expected. An upside surprise on headline payrolls … jobless claims — MUCH LOWER than expected. Across the board here in the labor market, this is a pretty solid read!”
TRUMP EFFECT: Jobs Growth Beats Economists’ Expectations For Fourth Month In A Row
President Trump just beat expectations yet again.
For the fourth month in a row, job growth beat economists’ projections. In June:
- The economy added 147,000 new jobs, 41,000 higher than expected
- The economy has added 671,000 jobs since President Trump took office.

RNC Statement on June Jobs Report
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Thursday, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley posted the following response to the June jobs report.
“EXTRAORDINARY”: President Trump Drives Illegal Border Crossings to a New Historic Low
Border Patrol encountered just 6,070 illegal immigrants at the southern border in June — another record-setting low (15% lower than the previous record set in March) that underscores the effectiveness of President Donald J. Trump’s robust border enforcement policies and aggressive deportation measures.
It’s a stark contrast to the Biden Administration, when approximately 10,000 unvetted migrantswere illegally crossing the southern border every day at the peak of the invasion — most of whom were released into the country with little or no oversight.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Nationwide illegal immigrant encounters over the month were the lowest on record.
- For the second straight month, no illegal immigrants were released into the country’s interior.
- On June 28, Border Patrol hit a single-day record low number of illegal immigrant encounters at the southern border (just 137).
- The number of “gotaways” — illegal immigrants who escaped into the country undetected — was 90% lower compared to the same month last year.
- This fiscal year is on track to see the fewest illegal immigrant encounters in five decades.
Now, Congress has a chance to fortify this progress by sending the One Big Beautiful Bill to President Trump’s desk — which includes funding to finish the border wall, hire thousands of new border personnel, expand detention capabilities, and fund at least one million deportations per year.
